He had a chance to be a star in this league. Anderson also iffy. But sure, I wish I had their depth at guard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSU88 1,070 Report post Posted June 27, 2019 My fondest wish would be that his leaving have a huge negative impact on UD. Putting that aside, it seems to me there ought to be a deadline for entering the portal. Most teams end their season in early-mid-March. It’s now late June & kids are still entering the portal.

TSU88 1,070 Report post Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Kids with character flaws (e.g., overinflated egos) do stuff like this. What Horton did is even more reprehensible than what Zane did. At least Zane bolted in time to give Skerry a chance to backfill his position (see Brian Fobbs). It’ll be much harder at this late stage for UD to bring in a quality replacement. Bringing in legit talent as a low-to-mid major is becoming increasingly pointless, as there’s a good chance the kids people are going to tell him he’s too good to stay at (fill in the blank) & should transfer to (fill in the name of a bigger school).

sr16 158 Report post Posted June 28, 2019 I mean though to the point, what if he was woo'd by a big time program? Are there any restrictions from having power 5 schools or high major schools from reaching out to these 18-19 year olds who had a break out season, especially given this timing all making matters worse. Put yourself in their shoes, you might bolt too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TuTigers2012 1,061 Report post Posted June 28, 2019 They should have a rule that restricts anyone from transferring after the end of the spring semester. Season is over for 2 months and gives them an opportunity to view the landscape. Smaller schools should ban together and block the late transfers after a certain date, and make the player/parents pay for the sit out year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
