2025 Transfer Portal

Ugh that sucks. I know it was a little bit of a longshot but thought we had a decent chance at keeping him. With this news, I think Washington is very much in play for us

Who is Washington?

[bleedXblue]

Not surprise but still disappointing.

Why? More $$?

Can we not pay him what he wants? Geesh

Who is Washington?

Tru Washington from New Mexico. He isn't a shooter like Conwell, but more athletic and better defender. Obviously we will need some shooters either way though

Not a surprise because his coach left. X has the money....two things at play here though...could end up at Texas with Miller and 2.) his brother goes to UC who he lives with. He'd instantly be one of the worst villians in Xavier college basketball lore if he makes that switch. I'd sincerely hope he wouldn't do that.

This fucking sucks. Seriously, who the hell wants this much turnover every year? The fans are going to grow tired of this at some point and stop spending their dollars. Does anyone case about that? I think I know the answer.

Yeah- hes left coaches too.....4 teams in 4 years. He had a great spot here and I am sure Pitino told him he wanted him to stay. These guys are getting some bad advice from their agents IMHO

I just think anytime someone's coach leaves it is not surprising that they will enter the portal. For all we know Pitino told him to take a hike, or hey I like you but not at what you were paid last year. Honestly we just don't know. But again, coach leaves, I expect pretty much all the players to enter the portal.

I doubt Ryan gives a flying f**k about the Crosstown Shootout if someone is willing to pay him close to $1M per year.

In any event, yes, this is all dumb and is unsustainable (for the sport and the fans).

[bleedXblue]

Maybe Dent and Washington are a package deal? A guy can hope right?

[drudy23]

Pitino probably told him the same thing he told Dent "if you think you can get that, you should go to the portal". I'm guessing these agents have mad influence, and probably not in a good way.

Reading between the lines in that interview, it seemed pretty clear players aren't likely to get what some of these reports are suggesting.
