What good is served by that? Because I see a lot of bad.

it's already open. The shooting guard from Penn announced he was entering the portal last week and the article said he'd already been contacted by about a dozen schools.....Including Kansas.

There was an article about it on......either the phog or espn

Huh. Maybe I heard it on a podcast that was previously taped (thought I'd heard it on the radio).

I'm a supporter of players having the same freedom to move (or the freedom to contract out of that freedom) that most of us have. But I think it's terrible for everyone involved for this to be the timing. I can't see who or what good is served by this timing.

Feels like the portal should be a Memorial Day weekend-ish thing, after the season is over, after the high school recruiting process has largely settled (but before 2025 high school recruiting is really at peak summer activity), and - ya know - after the prospective transferees have come through exams and completed the full academic year.

(I'm somewhat familiar with busted "hiring" processes; my industry (which requires a three-year graduate program) hires (and prospective new folks accept offers) on the basis of one semester of data.)

Not sure how I feel about that tbh. Mixed feelings.

We've also reached out to a UT-Martin wing. Yay?

That'll kill it for me.

I mean, Knecht is at least a helpful balance to examples like Timberlake.

but, if some school wants to lure him away with their riches. more power to him/them.

Furphy is in a NIL gray area, but were I spending money on NIL, I’d negotiate contractual mechanisms that protect me from a guy leaving for another school.
