The Portal - Basketball Edition

Obviously I can’t read your mind but I just get the feeling that every kid that enters the portal from UND or elsewhere you think/want to fail at their next school. Maybe Im too optimistic but I’d rather see guys succeed especially guys that I have been cheering for. I might not like/agree with the decisions they make to leave and where they go but at the end of the day the players are going to do what they feel is best for themselves.

What is wrong with hoping they don’t find success.  Support the hell out of them while wearing Green and White, they are like any other player when they choose to leave.

Never said anything was wrong with it, just was giving my perspective and opinion. I appreciate the time the players gave to UND, I dont gain anything from players leaving and failing. When they leave and succeed it at least looks good for the program in the fact we recruited and signed a talent player. I have no ill will towards most of the players that have left and dont hold a grudge. I’m not trying to tell anyone how to be a fan, just my perspective. It could be right, wrong or somewhere in the middle.

Support via tickets, scholarships, facilities and now NIL.  Develop them when no one else will and the give them a high five when they leave to go some where else??

A few of you speak more highly of the players that leave than ones that have stayed for 5 years

The older people with the money will turn first.  Then we will see a different kind of change

The NCAA is totally behind the 8 ball now days. I don’t like the current scenario. I’ve always supported the Grad Transfer. If you have earned your degree, you deserve to move on to greener pastures. The situation like the safety from Louisville that portals in and then enters again without playing a season is where I draw the line. The flip side is we don’t know if the coaches are telling players to move on.

At this point who cares, coaches can cut anyone they want and should. In-season, out of season, see ya.  Players quit in season all the time so they save a year of eligibility in FB.

Wow…..there are certainly some wild statements being thrown out today!! Crazy how some people think

Really? What do find to be so wild and who's crazy? Maybe an issue of priorities. My interest/support/allegiance is with the school and program. No ill will toward any player, but the transfer portal has not been a good development for schools in mid-majors or the FCS.   Given unlimited transfers and the significant number of football portal entries who never find another team, it doesn't seem particularly negative to speculate that, for many, portal entry may not deliver everything they are hoping for.

Enough portal talk though, does anyone know who UND is looking at with the last scholarships? Any visits coming up? I saw they were talking to Luca Colceag a 6’9” forward from Eastern Florida 

Back to players. Watched the high lights of this kid.  100% improvement over TT in my opinion.   Plays inside and out. Nice looking 3 point shot.  What are our chances? Has he been here to visit ?

Now we can't beat Northern Colorado for talent? Cripes.

I’d love to have Tyree back. All things aside, the team was wayyyyy better with him. I just want to win!

He committed...backed out... committed...backed out again... and then signed.. quite a rollercoaster 

 

Hopefully he is an asset to the squad.

Yes, don't question it. You don't know what is going on in the kids head and you don't care about mental health.

How dare you even think about questioning any of these kids' decisions.. these 18-22 year olds know what they're doing and they are no different than anyone changing jobs in the professional world. They are exactly the same, you should be happy for them.

 

And fire the coach
