Thought was Oregon … Woodson not going down without a fight … UNC will be right back in it if Ingram goes to Kansas …

Jerry Jones and the Walton family. Phil Knight. IU and UNC probably 2 and 3 (IMO, Kentucky is 1) in terms of sheer volume of basketball recruiting internet weirdos to amass a small dollar fortune.

The outlines of what makes for a big player in this space comes into view.

One observes the size of the conference TV contract isn't really it.

Reading the exceptions that were made public a little while ago, it doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure out how folks are going to get around those rules.

Plus, no athletic department is going to refuse to sign off on a waiver and play hardball out of fear of it happening to them when there's a second transfer recruit they want.
Can you explain it to me anyways? I thought the talk at the time was that it eliminated the coach is fired waiver

Hunter seems like the type of guy to lead everyone on like he's coming to Illinois, get about as far in the process as he possibly can, we see the boom gifs, rumors leak, it turns into a well known fact he's coming here............then he decides to dip, giving the big middle finger to Illinois fans.

Does he hate us that much, or am I too paranoid?

I think he wants money and is going to do whatever it takes to get his top dollar. Howard not able to win with him and all the 5 star talent he had shows talent isn’t everything

Just take my approach: assume it ain't happening no matter what the insiders are heating. If it does happen, process it at that point.

Adam Miller been done since he got in the portal … Posted it the second he got in …

Curbelo … I honestly don’t know … I know a few schools poking around but if he decides to just go pro it wouldn’t shock me …
Guessing pros overseas - hope he can make a solid living. He is a good player that is not ready, but he can be if he matures.

I think eventually he will not get all the players if he don't capitalize. Money or not, these are some talented players that are established but you are going to start upset some players' playing time.

I can't find the tweet that originally went out, but from where I'm sitting, it was all phrased vaguely enough that folks could get creative to get around the transfer waiver restrictions. That's all.

The one thing that I've learned from watching college sports is that there's always a way around the rule. It's just more likely to happen with properly executed creativity and clout.

Assume agents are not prohibited from talking to schools so a deal could be cut before entering the portal. Ultimate free agency as schools can also make offers to agents of players not in the portal. If one transfer is not enforced it will soon lose all school identity.
