College Basketball Transfer Portal 2024-2025

[Xville]

Arizona fresh off of two disappointing tournaments are losing Ballo and Boswell. Boswell was off and on but pretty promising guy. Him going to Illinois has to help with the Maddox battle.

yeah agreed. It's louisville I worry about the most there. Louisville has like 5-6 guys coming in this weekend including Maddox.

Being a college basketball coach is obviously a lot more challenging . Recruiting and developing high school players so they can get experience and the enter the portal sucks. Re- recruiting those same players to stay when others offer more money sucks more. Being a fan of a sport once loved and seeing its evolution into a a mercenary business is disconcerting. Recognizing the players deserve compensation is some comfort. They work hard, entertain, and generate revenue. Yet it doesn’t bridge the gap . The emotional connection fades as the money becomes the a priori reason for playing. A philosopher would say we are mourning the loss of the perceived innocence of amateur sports.

Well said.

Somehow this needs to be reigned in with some type of spending cap like the NFL (the only place socialism works). But hoping the NCAA can do anything worthwhile is a fools errand.

I thought players deserved more freedom to move around, and I don’t mind them being paid. Unfortunately, the resulting product is something I care for much less than the old fashion roster building we were used to.

It’s tough. I honestly think the only way to slow it down is the transfer rule again. Being able to freely transfer is as big a part as NIL. Just like before, a cap does next to nothing. Matt Painter said it’s always been happening it was just illegal before.

Anyways, X is in on a handful of really solid players. Who knows where it ends up, I am cautiously excited about what the team could look like next year

I mean…“NIL wasn't put into place so the schools with the most money could get the best players," he told reporters. "But if you want to be honest, that was happening before but illegally."

What do you think he means by illegally? Right after discussing schools with the most money getting the best players?

Haven't you learned you cannot present facts and quotes and stats to Hett when debating this topic? Only conjecture, opinion, fear, and dismay are applicable.
