Just not true. The better players are not typically on the better teams which is why they are transferring.

Knecht
Dickinson
Cam spencer
Olivari
Ike


Etc. etc. not saying good players from good teams don’t transfer but this whole “I’m transferring just for more nil money” is baloney. If Michigan was actually good. Dickinson would not have transferred.

I know that’s a tangent but that narrative that people are trying to spin hasn’t really happened and most likely won’t.

Creighton went to the Elite 8 last year and could have returned essentially the entire team. But Arthur Kaluma transfered to…..Kansa State?

Neither of us really KNOW why Kaluma transferred. I could certainly put forth a theory.

Frankly, you just listed 5 guys that played on bad teams. Should I put forth a list of 5 guys that were on good teams to negate you list of guys on bad teams? Is that the idea?

The reality is that the total population of players that enter the portal is never “complete” at any time of the process. At the outset, there will only be players that aren’t playing in the postseason. Portal opens March 18, and the NCAA tourney round of 64 is on the 21st. So guys will trickle in if they don’t get out of that first weekend. By the end of the next week, 60 of the 64 teams will have been eliminated. So for practical purposes, it’s going to be 10 days or so before the portal starts reflecting the majority of the pool of players that plan to transfer. I think also there are the kids that may not initially be planning to transfer and then jump into the portal suddenly because they have been recruited over by a guy coming in that will probably take their position.

I definitely think getting in early is important, especially to get a jump on the diligence process. But the early bird won’t always get the worm in this scenario
