    2025 Transfer Portal

    Couple days until Wednesday so may as well fire this one up. Our old friend, Jonathan Powell, is already in the portal.

    I saw a 6-10 guy that averaged 16 ppg from Iowa entered the portal. Can't remember his name.

    Seriously? He got regular PT. I have to think this is more about NIL than anything else. He was valued there. Morgantown does suck as far as college towns go though. I don't know what WVU has available but for 30mpg, his numbers were decent for a freshman.

    Owen Freeman is the 6'10 PF from Iowa that is transferring. Played 26mpg and averaged 16.7/6.7. I never watched Iowa so I have zero clue if he is any good or not.

    There were a lot of rumors last year about WVU offering big NIL deals, and the kids never getting paid. Dunno if that's what happened here, but hey could be the money, or could be he just doesn't want to stay in West Virginia for the rest of his college career.

    I wonder how him and Miller left it , if it was on good terms. Could be a Foster Replacement just sayin.

    He is one of the bigger transfers. Sat out a bunch because of a hurt finger- but it was allegedly bc he already had a deal in place for his next school. “Internet rumors” I should say, likely disgruntled fans. Just what I saw on Twitter though

    I just looked at the portal list. Some player from Virginia (Warley) already entered and committed to Gonzaga who is still playing. The portal is out of control.

    Absolutely. Mercenary basketball is upon us. The highest bidder seems to win out but who knows? Maybe some will be content with their situations like Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and not scream for more cash.

    Everyone is going to want more money, even the ones that plan on staying.

    I'm guessing the staff already has some insight as to who might enter and who they might target. I'd be shocked if they didn't.

    You can almost guarantee the staff knows well before the portal entry is even made.

    I'm sure the portal antics are just as corrupt as everything else.
