2025 Transfer Portal

[Caveat]

It’s been like three days. Maybe some patience?

There's a real shot Pitino will have to fill all 15 spots on the roster with a budget of ~$5M.

There's next to no realistic shot this team will be competitive in 2025-26. You're really just trying to avoid the catastrophic 20+ loss season at this point.

Meh. It’s more like 10 and really need 5 guys with 3 off the bench. The rest are just fill ins

[D-West & PO-Z]

I’ll believe it when I see it. If the team is good, people will show up. That’s all it really comes down to imo.

Yeah, I mean we are what 4 years into this already.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Really beginning to think we might as well chalk next year up to a lost year at this point with no major news of guys actually COMING to X.

No news of any players going anywhere at this point, only entering. Pump the brakes man.

Yeah, cause injuries never happen.

Or guys that were brought into contribute just aren’t as good as we thought and he have nobody else to turn to (Hugley, Maddox, Ben Stanley, 3 Euro stiffs).

8 guys is not enough. We need 13 to fill the roster. Even if you want to go 10 deep, you can’t pay your#1 guy more than 20% of the pot.

I’m already scouting bridges over here.

This is a hilariously defeatist take. Step off the ledge.

[Xville]

this reminds me of last year when some were jumping off the ledge about Miller going on vacation, and then X picked up guys that people are now freaking out about losing.

I mean do whatever you want...if you want to be defeatist and jump off the ledge more power to ya i guess, but good gawd some are acting like the portal is closed and no one is on the roster. Chill the f out

Reportedly 20% would be 1 mil of Xavier's NIL budget.

I know for a fact we didn't pay any of our guys 1 mil last year. So there should not be a problem finding and paying talented guys to come here to fill out the roster. The biggest issue won't be getting the talent but getting guys who cohesively make sense together within Pitino's system.

That why Pitino makes the big bucks. As much as I am sure Xavier had to sell him on their resources, I would hope Pitino had to sell GC on his vision for navigating the portal and building a team in what clearly was going to be a roster of 0.

Has anyone hears any reliable information on what Miller's buyout was?

I dunno about reliable, but ive heard it was absurdly low...2 million.
