2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal

I don’t disagree. With that said Xavier has outside sources that provide NIL money but we won’t know what that total is. Xavier, while small in size, does very well with basketball compared to similar size universities and has plenty of connected alumni with money. Either way they will be fine and will continue to land high level talent.

They don't have to divvy all that money to football players either.

Sean isn’t playing that game but Xavier will be fine.

Isn't playing the NIL game? I don't buy that for a second. Also that would be a huge mistake. Miller isn't stupid.

Oh yeah. They’re playing it.
Have to!

Cesare has entered the portal. Not shocking.

Is KyKy next?

Not shocking at all. If Free wasn’t hurt Cesare would have never seen the floor.
I’m sure Sean has had honest conversation with these guys.

Tucker now in the portal. Also not shocking.

[GoMuskies]

I hope Craft stays.

At least Elijah will always have “The Three at MSG” to look back on.

Xavier is playing the NIL game, but they are not going to out bid other schools for kids wanting to transfer. That is the game Miller isn't playing.

Last off season, it was widely speculated Miami University offered LSU transfer Nigele Peck in the range of $400k. Xavier was recruiting him, but was never going to put up that type coin, and he ended up going to the highest bidder.

My understanding is the NIL program at Xavier is competitive but we will not pursue mercenaries or kids that want to take their services to the highest bidder.

It is less about not wanting to than not being able to. I absolutely understand Xavier wont be the "highest bidder" on some players and probably will on others.

There are also others who will want to come play at X for Miller specifically due to whatever reason and NIL wont be the deciding factor but that person will get NIL money as well.

Lets all stop pretending that Miller and/or Xavier is taking some anti NIL/players wanting to get the most stance though. Xavier just can't compete with Miami offering 800K for 2 years for a guy. They aren't taking some moral stance, if they could compete with that they would. It certainly has worked out quite well for Miami.
