I think we've easily net-benefitted from the portal. By a wide, wide, wide margin. NIL? Not as clear.
But I'm obviously happy for us to put MOR's cash to work.

Yep sure is.
Guys we lost that we wanted to keep:
Claude
Guys we have recently gained:
Nunge
Kunkel
Olivari
Boum
McKnight
Two years ago sweet 16.
This year so far:
Hugley
Foster
Maddox
Conwell
And we aren’t done. Even if we stop there, x is going to be preseason ranked top 25 easily, and projected to be in the tourney. I’d say it’s been pretty good to x. Injuries effed up this past year.

Nunge and Kunkel did not transfer to XU under the current set of rules. Kunkel had to get a waiver, and I think Nunge may have been a grad student. And I don't think there was any NIL either. and if there WAS NIL, it wasnt organized at all and was a fraction of what it being thrown around now.
So yeah, completely different environment. Which is my point in the first place.

Ugh, a new, even worse argument has now arised from Hetts rambling narrative.
X has NOT benefited from the portal.
Apparently, after all the complaining Hett did about our team last year, he is now not seeing the benefit of all those guys being shown the door and X bringing in all conference players from a lower level.
Hett is lamenting the loss of the likes of Kyky, Ducahrme, Miles, Duncomb, Kraft, and others and not at all happy with the additions like McKnight, Olivari, and Boum.
Thats a new one and certainly an interesting one."I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I’m going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I’m going to play harder than I’ve ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17

No way to push that narrative, throughout X's history we are at a rather large net positive when it comes to transfer players. If you net the quality of transfers in vs. those we lost. It is not even close. Even if you jsut consider this portal's era.
