Men’s Basketball Transfer Portal Open Thread

Ironically, we took a lot of L’s with him on the team as well. Talented player for sure, but definitely put up some empty stats. Allergic to defense, does his game translate to winning basketball (four schools in four years?)…
Hall needs more of a taskmaster for a coach….I bet Pearl won’t put up with his no D, and no pass, head down and drive 1 on 3 to the basket on O. Johnny did, Pearl won’t and that’s probably good for Hall If he wants to play at the next level.
It’s too bad for UCF’s immediate future that this team is still playing. Seems like a lot of quality players in the portal are going elsewhere, while Dawkins wins a couple meaningless games in Vegas.
Of course, a competent staff would be able to do both, focus on next year, meet with kids daily on Zoom, etc. But are we sure that’s what’s happening with UCF?

It's not meaningless if UCF could add $500k (or whatever it is) to their NIL coffers.
That’s why I was careful to say “immediate future” of UCF basketball.
The NIL money only goes to current players in this tournament. So yes, this tournament is meaningless for UCF basketball moving forward.
Obviously for the kids on this current team, the games are very important. And I’m happy for them getting some cash.
Doesn’t change my original point, that these games are meaningless when it comes to focusing on next year, etc.
I have no doubt coach can do both at once.
we wont be getting the biggest names, coach on duty or not. Things are what they are.

Who has officially said the money goes to current players? Perhaps it gets thrown into the NIL pot for future players.
As far as I know, no one has officially published that the money is going to the last hanger-ons. I wish one of our inquisitive reporters **COUGH COUGH** would clarify this with some questions.
.....you know, like what reporters tend to do....
it's going to the 8 players you see logging minutes. why would anyone who hasn't risked anything in this tournament get anything?

Ten players. The eight that have logged minutes plus Poopha (walk-on, with the team in Vegas) and E. Hulsewe (has not played this season, with them team in Vegas).
I can’t find it either. I must be reading comments or something. Maybe they will mention it during tonight’s game.
