2025 Transfer Portal

Anything is possible but wouldn’t get your hopes up.

With hopes largely where they are, there is only one direction.

Might have to get a Big Mac cause “I’m lovin’ it.”

It would be wonderfully insane if Dante and Pinto can keep our man Swain!

That would really be something if UC President Neville Pinto helped convince Swain to stay at X.

Agreed. But I’m looking for absolutely anything that could be considered good news at this point

If you are looking for good news we should get a commitment from the New Mexico transfer forward Filip.

If I was Christopher, there would have been a come to Jesus moment after finding out he was shopping after year 1.

If I was Christopher, I'd have said: "Sean, so happy you'll finish your career here. Should be no problem then for a $20 million buy-out."

I’d really like Washington from NM to commit. Haven’t heard anything about Powell, but with Dante being the Ohio HS recruiting guy, him sticking on might help. Probably going with his coach though I’d assume.

Would absolutely love Washington, Powell, swain back court. Might as well have some hopes for now, I wouldn’t expect commitments until after the press conference. Slowly seeing more and more portal players saying X reached out but you really have no idea the extent of that.

I still find it unbelievable that Miller was looking after year 1 after all he said in coming back. He literally just lied through his teeth to get a job to springboard it to something else.

If I was Christopher, there would have been a come to Jesus moment after finding out he was shopping after year 1.

Part of me is starting to think that Sean Miller has pulled the wool over the eyes of many in establishing how good he really is. He may be better at marketing spin for himself than he is at actually being capable of producing what he says is so important to him.

I see no purpose in the “come to Jesus meeting”. GC had no way to deal with Miller. Miller may have saved GCs job and they both probably knew it.

What exactly would GC have said in the meeting? I’ll fire you? If you are just gonna lay down a weak bluff, then don’t even have the meeting.

GC is either stupid or he is a bi+ch. It's one or the other. Either he was too stupid to understand the game and let a coach get leverage over him or else he knew the game and still let Miller do whatever he wanted. I'm sorry but you don't get to a position like that and get blindsided... and if that is the case it's just more proof he is dumb and shouldn't have his job. There is no other explanation.

If it was somewhat known by some, I’m sure Greg had an idea. Who’s to say he didn’t have a meeting? Miller has been lying his ass off, he’s good at saying what people want to hear.

I think if Greg felt worried at all about his job, he’d hire Mack again. I commend him for going outside the family. I hope it works out. His job isn’t in any danger.

Watching the Final 4 teams and others in this weekend's Elite 8 games , I started digging into rosters and seeing how elite these teams are from X's teams.
Usually Final 4 teams have 3-4 4 and 5 star recruits and simply overwhelm "lesser" teams all season.

With the exception of Duke, most of these Elite 8 teams have many transfers from lesser conferences, and with a few(2-3) underclassmen who have only been to their respective schools since frosh year.
How was the SEC able to have 4 NCAA teams in this elite 8?
Was it quality coaching putting together specialized rosters?
What does Bruce Pearl, Todd Golden, and Kelvin Sampson, etc. see in a transfer that turns into an extremely talented guard or forward. Is it elite foot speed, off the charts length, quick hands? How can the Big East help the top 4-5 teams get and develop transfer talent to then dominate other teams?

Yeah, it was a ballsy hire, I hope it pans out, but I agree with giving him props for not taking the obvious choice and going after someone who has potential.
