Used the top of the table...I'm curious what you need to do to get kicked off the team at Louisville. Anyone know?

I think this might be the case of a kid who wants to play some more College ball and has his eye on a grad program at agood academic intitution, maybe he'll be a star at D3 Carnegie Mellon while he gets a Master in a field they are known for.A Harvard senior who averaged half a point per game? Just go to McKinsey, dude. What the hell are you doing?
Or go D1 for similar reasons and get a free year of your graduate degree.I think this might be the case of a kid who wants to play some more College ball and has his eye on a grad program at agood academic intitution, maybe he'll be a star at D3 Carnegie Mellon while he gets a Master in a field they are known for.
Hearing Omoruyi to St. John’s is a done deal.Cliff Omoruyi reportedly will be entering the portal. Staff wanted him bad out of high school but ended up with Sanogo reclassing instead. Pike will be under pressure to win big next year with 2 top 5 recruits.
Unconfirmed buzz on the St John's board about Des Claude too, but Xavier is still playing and that could be false info from delusional Johnnies.
You mean maybe he didn't want to be playing in the ACC?He was but his final list was all west coast if I remember correctly.
So St. John’s just started recruiting him today. LolHearing Omoruyi to St. John’s is a done deal.
Would love it if Omoruyi entered the portal. Would be a solid replacement for DonovanCliff Omoruyi reportedly will be entering the portal. Staff wanted him bad out of high school but ended up with Sanogo reclassing instead. Pike will be under pressure to win big next year with 2 top 5 recruits.

Haha, yeah I’m in the same boat. For my own sanity, I’m going to let the dust settle and then check out what’s out there once the games are over next Monday.I hate that.
But also, I love the transfer portal. I feel sorry for my kids who I will be neglecting this week.
Hey, Rick skipped the NIT so he could hit the ground running today! LolSo St. John’s just started recruiting him today. Lol

Just telling what I’m hearing and very reliable sources. Always a chance it doesn’t happen but i wouldn’t bet on that.I'm not refuting this with any inside info, but Omoruyi hasn't officially entered the portal yet. Also I don't get why grad transfers wouldn't just wait until the regular portal window closes - Cam increased his market value and was able to get a sense of how competitive his suitors rosters would be next season (and get a sense of how bad/mediocre his Rutgers team would have been). But Cam was chasing a sure thing for a march madness run, some guys are only chasing $$$.
Also Cliff is Nigerian on an international student visa, so NIL deals are much more complicated (not impossible).

The concern is people contacting our players, or any players while they are playing in the tournament. Thats a distraction and could hurt team chemistry. It shouldn’t be open until everyone is done playing.For those who hate the portal just a reminder that it's been very, very good to us. I don't have an issue with when the portal opens because many of these kids have contacted schools or been contacted already. The type of kid who Danny and staff will be looking for isn't going to take the first offer. There will be plenty of options left for the tournament teams once their season ends.
How awkward must it be for whoever Hurley has been openly talking about being tampered with while still playing for us.The concern is people contacting our players, or any players while they are playing in the tournament. Thats a distraction and could hurt team chemistry. It shouldn’t be open until everyone is done playing.
I just received a nice offer to post exclusively at Rivals.
Unfettered free agency.......that's where we are heading. Teams with access to the most money will acquire and retain the most talent. As this process matures it will be grotesque for those of us who experienced college athletics over the past 30-40 years.
Honestly, it doesn't hold any interest for me, even recognizing that UCONN has a fighters chance with mens and womens hoops to compete at the highest levels. Football is a lost cause......
My understanding is an international student can’t sign an NIL deal in the US, but can sign one outside of the US (as UConn women’s center Aaliyah Edwards did in her home country of Canada).I'm not refuting this with any inside info, but Omoruyi hasn't officially entered the portal yet.

Do you honestly think that every back channel, back door, underground, smoke signals communication method hasn’t been going on all year like it always has? Do you know what the #1 mode of back channel communication form is?The concern is people contacting our players, or any players while they are playing in the tournament. Thats a distraction and could hurt team chemistry. It shouldn’t be open until everyone is done playing.

There's a collective forming.From Tom
Mo money!!There's a collective forming.
The problem is if we get a starting center in the portal, Samson will likely enter the portal. How can we get a backup 5 from the portal?Would love it if Omoruyi entered the portal. Would be a solid replacement for Donovan
