    Selfishly, I don?t like the portal. I like following players for several years and watching the team grow. Just old school I guess

    The "portal" is new but MSU gaining & losing basketball players to transfer is a 20yr endeavor. Robert Jackson, Lawrence Roberts, Shane Power, Delk twins, Hansbrough, Osby, Hood the list goes on & on.

    This is a huge blow for us. It forces DJ to be the backup next year if he returns. This puts us up a creek when Molinar leaves.
    You probably didn't realize but DJ was the PG the last 1/3 of the season. and probably was going to be next year as well.

    Transfer portal just made is too easy to jump ship.

    Sounds like there?s a plan in place and wheels in motion & this is just a byproduct of it and a step in that plan coming into place.... interested to see what comes of this.

    Wow. Losing the only true ball handler. That hurts.

    Did the portal really even change things much besides taking the athletes' transfer process online?

    Last 1/3 of season (10 games), d. Smith avg'd 24.7 mins/game. I would think most of that was him at pt

    Lots of smoke out we are adding at least 2 transfers plus looking to add a PG now. We are working hard because we have the group to make a run next year

    If, and it's a big IF, you could add Brooks, Jeffries, and find a solid backup PG then you have the makings of a special team.

    Are brooks and Jeffries possibilities or just wishful thinking?

    Yes, and this makes Smith transferring quite puzzling. He should have an expanded role next year on what we all think will be a significantly better team. And if he was to still be here his JR/SR year it would pretty much be his show to run.

    I believe them to both be legit possibilities. There's been smoke around Jeffries transferring for weeks now and the Brooks stuff has really heated up the past 3-4 days. I know the 247 mods seem to be pretty positive that one if not both of them will end up here.

    I don't think he ever planned on being here more than two years. My guess is he's gone to the draft next year.

    Can't help but wonder if brooks comes how do he and tolu fit with the plan to go 4 out, 1 in

    Supposedly Howland wants to keep DJ at point guard next year, which would make more sense as to why Smith wanted to leave.
