Question: Will the basketball players that are in the portal get to play in Las Vegas?
- Thread starter Knight_Classes_begin_7pm
- Start date
I'd say don't let the door hit you on the way out...
I haven’t seen Jocius enter but Hendricks has. Not sure who would want him.
Yup. Add Mikey Williams and Hendricks. They are gone.
accepting playing in this with the portal movement is looking to be a waste of time
Dawkins allowing them to play would be odd, what a mess

If UCF somehow finishes in the top 4, then the remaining players should get a bigger share of the money.
I wonder if the other teams in the Crown are having similar issues. I read 500 players are already in the portal. I sure admire Johnson for staying at UCF the whole time. That seems uncommon today

UCF guard Mikey Williams enters NCAA transfer portal
UCF guard Mikey Williams has entered the NCAA transfer portal following his freshman season with the Knights, in which he played in 18 games.
I wouldn’t allow the leaving guys to play. I’d rather roll with 9 guys that all play a lot. Seniors out if eligibility and returnees only.
Agreed, not a chance I would play any of the guys that are intending to transfer.
You’ve got Da. Johnson, Ivy-Curry, Coleman, and B. Williams as seniors out of eligibility that can play.
And you’ve got Hall, Thiam, Di. Johnson, and Taylor as underclassmen. That’s a rotation of eight. If any of these remaining underclassmen enter the portal, then UCF could have some Vegas issues (not to mention next season obviously).
Multiple teams have lost players, 2 of Utah starters and 2 of Utah bench players that played double digit minutes have gone to the portal. Probably several teams will have starters leaving for portal.
Weird decision to have this played after the portal opening
Utahs coach got fired for losing to us. Them leaving isn’t unexpected. But I read over a thousand players have entered. 22% of guys on scholarship are in the portal.
At this point just take the four or five seniors/non-portal players on each Crown team and make like 8 (or 4) all-star teams to play in Vegas. The NIL money is going to players anyway, if the tournament wants the quality of the players/games to be anything more than complete garbage, maybe think outside of the box?
Obviously I know this would never happen, but seems like a better idea than allowing bad teams showing up with half of their regular rotation players and a few walk-ons sprinkled in to play in primetime on Fox.

"I wonder if the other teams in the Crown are having similar issues"
Of course, everyone is in the same boat ....
Na, lets just keep it old school basketball and let the players who stay play. They deserve it. Let the transfers go promote themselves on TikTok.
There is that 3 on 3 Half Court basketball that was played in this past Olympics that was fun to watch. But that was more street ball than anything else. Basketball is a team sport. There is no I in TEAM.
(baiting hobolame with that one)...

Hall is gone. Declaring for draft. Can still come back if feedback is negative.
That's what I was thinking. How many are just testing the waters. As we know, It's not always Greener. Mikey...he didn't show me anything. They're all wanting to be on a winning team and make more money. We'll see
If we lose any more players Johnny Dawkins is gonna have to lace up and play himself.
Saw this on a recent article: For Hall and NBA declaring from recent article: "Note: If Hall withdraws from draft consideration prior to June 15, he can retain college eligibility. The draft will take place June 25-26."

Oregon State faces UCF in Las Vegas without three key players entering transfer portal
But in a surprising move, the Beavers will be without three players including two starters for the game as they've entered the transfer portal.
Oregon State faces UCF in Las Vegas without three key players entering transfer portal
The Oregon State men's basketball team is set to start postseason play on April 1 against UCF in the inaugural College Basketball Crown Tournament in Las Vegas.

Strange times to be a fan, player or coach of College team.
They need to rethink portal timing and make it work as best as possible. It shouldn't open before March madness is over for BB.

Imagine it's similar situation to football portal in terms of giving enough time for players to register for their new school.
The Crown tournament starting after the portal opening was a bad decision, they are going to have to make some changes otherwise I see this tournament getting scrapped in the future. It's certainly not a great showcase for programs involved to be mashing up lineups for televised games.
