Can players transfer mid-season still (eg Dain)? Don’t they have to enter the portal to transfer? Is there a second portal window? Page I found on NCAA website just shows the one that recently closed. So what is the value of leaving a ride open except for saving a little money and not having...

Much better accommodations than we had. Though at least we each had our own car to sleep in. Wasn’t the case for spring break when that buddy and another slept in a Honda Accord (smaller back then and I’m 6-2 and one guy was 6-5) in a Dennys parking lot coming back from So Cal.

I think Tre will play a lot. And both him (2) and Booth (3) have multiple years of eligibility. And top tier guys aren’t easy to get. Brad has emphasized multiple years of eligibility to try to get more continuity while still fielding a top 20 team (or better) this year. If can maintain that...

If can’t find a nearby place to stay, I might suggest checking out used car lots. At least back in 1980, not all car lots locked the car doors as a friend and I found out the day after Thanksgiving when we hitchhiked from Corvallis to Eugene and took refuge in two cars from a rain storm after...

I’m hoping we get at least a 24-hour moratorium, but wouldn’t be surprised to see some such posts as I read next two pages.

Thanks. I saw him on a list of top 5 performers at the event, so I thought he did better.

I thought a few of the players with great showings at Portsmouth usually earn combine invites. Is that not the case? Did any make it this year, with how well Marcus did there, I expected to see him on list.

Honest question as I don’t really keep up with the NIL budgets, are big donor NIL donations truly “primarily going to basketball” or is it more that football isn’t receiving enough money to stay competitive in a sport that takes more NIL than bball?

Signed with Ravens.

Yeah that’s the problem.

I’m an Oregon State fan also, and as much as the end of Pac 12 sucked it was probably the best thing for the school. They just don’t have the money to compete with the big boys the way things are going with NIL — especially at basketball. Yes, this first year has sucked as players have left not...

I think you’re crazy if you think for the NIL money it would take that CoHawk is going to a school where he’d only get 20 mpg.

Did you see him not taking a shot from over 6 feet for an entire season at this time last year?

Not at the 2. I like Ty, but don’t see him as a 2 at all.
