Basketball Transfer Portal Thread

This is so out of touch with reality I don’t know where to start.

Ok

[Coach34]

You are not wrong that Hubb’s best chance at the league is PG, but he plays better as a SG at this level. I think this is why we are going after Melvin Council Jr and Connerway. Big guards who play the point well and can run the show so Hubb can roam and get his shot.

agree on that. If we get a baller PG it would make us tough to defend. Just needs to be a guy with some size. We cant be midgets in the back court

[Coach34]

We have a number out there to keep Murph. If Bama/Aub or anybody beats it so be it. Our money guys are doing their part

[ZedFedder]

Derrion Reid from Bama just got in the portal. I know we were on him in high school. He is a former 5 star. Any chance?

He'd be a depth piece next year. His best bet is getting some run with a mid major and using consistent time to flash better potential. But he showed nothing of being a good role player this year. Not worth the price tag for us likely.

UGA bound. That is where his mom wanted him out of HS and that is where he will end up. Outside shot that NC State gets in and muddies the water, but I believe he'll be in Athens.

Per Paul Jones this morning, we are not expecting Keyshawn Murphy to return. I would expect it's an Auburn or Alabama thing. I really don't know how he fits at Bama so Auburn may be the move.

Heard we were willing to go about 1.5 for him but after that it was "c'ya"

I haven't heard that high, I heard 1.2-1.3, but I don't doubt it. If Nwoko got 600K from LSU then Murphy will easily get 7 figures from someone.

Is this money paid 1099?

Yes. But I know taxes are already taken out for our guys. Charlie and his team take care of them on that side. They set them up with tax guys and advisors to make sure they're not dodging taxes.

[Goldendawg]

The average salary for year one in the NBA is about $1.6 million. NFL for year one is $795K. This is insane with NIL and especially the portal. They are in no way "student athletes". Family bought 8 FB season tickets for consecutive 58th year. If there is not contracts and a salary cap soon, 59 is seriously in doubt.

Good deal. I couldn't imagine being blind sided by 1 million paid 1099

[Rawdawg]

1.5 is the number I was told.

It's just stupid. Even in pro sports where there is no salary cap, you can at least level the field with a draft, set number of years a player has before FA, and trades to build for future. This set up has nothing to balance the field. It will ruin college sports if it hasn't already. The college sports we grew up loving are no more.

The Iamaleava stuff was the first public crack in the dam for the players. These schools, and donors who are giving the big time money, are about to start realizing they are the ones with all the power in these situations. They are the ones just handing over money with no guarantees. I have a feeling we will look back in 5-10 years at this saga and see that it was the first step towards players being under contract.

Basketball will quickly consolidate all the top talent to a few programs because those programs will get the top HS recruits plus they can pluck the best college players that developed later from other programs. It's already being seen as 4 #1 seeds made up the Final Four this year. Deep Cinderella runs will become much more rare. Football and baseball have a LOT more variables and a larger number of players involved so it won't be quite as bad. But it's going to be where the basketball money goes nuts because one or two players in basketball can turn an entire team into a major contender.

Anybody know how much we gave Cam for NIL this past year? Just curious

It?s been one of those two since the get go. Once he entered it was over (for state), regardless of what some would say. Is what it is.
