Re: 2025 App Transfers
I don’t understand why we lose so many kids (non NIL money involved) after 1 year on campus. Are we telling kids something during recruiting and then doing the opposite when they’re on campus? Kids should know what they’re walking into….unless they don’t actually know.

Re: 2025 App Transfers
It's not just here. It's everywhere. Many coaches have to completely (or almost completely) rebuild. We were lucky to keep Huntley and Tate.311neers wrote: ↑Wed Mar 12, 2025 1:18 pmI don’t understand why we lose so many kids (non NIL money involved) after 1 year on campus.

Be interesting to see where Muttilib ends up.
The only player from this year's roster that I would seriously try to focus on keeping is Wilson. If others leave then thank you and good luck.

Re: 2025 App Transfers
Unfortunately, the kids no longer want to take time to develop. He certainly has potential, but he needs to do the things you have to do to develop it… and that takes time and practice. He was not a fully developed SubBelt starter…. maybe he thinks he is… or maybe he hated Boone. One would think with another off season under his belt and being in the same system for two years, he would have played a lot.

Re: 2025 App Transfers
Wish he would’ve taken Threadgill’s minutes. Muttilib’s defense was questionable early on. However, he seemed almost too nervous to make a mistake in his limited minutes. Once he had confidence, he was a threat. Believe it would’ve led to a better team this year, and more likely that Muttilib would’ve stayed for next year. Hindsight is 20/20.

Re: 2025 App Transfers
Question for y’all. There’s rumors that Justin Abson will be hitting the portal once Georgia’s season is over. Would you take him back? For me, it’s a no brainer.

Re: 2025 App Transfers
Would absolutely take Abson back. Probably just depends on if he is looking for another payday.

Abson and Wilson in the paint? Yes, please!

Re: 2025 App Transfers
Probably a little early to entertain it. I heard the rumors too, also came from Georgia boards…but What if Georgia wins a few games in NCAA tourney and he plays a decent part in that? Might change his mind, don’t know.

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers
I think that there is a possibility that Abson returns to Boone. I don’t believe that there waa any ill will or bitterness from either side. We shall see.

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers
Not everyone that enters the portal is looking for a payday. The portal was created as an avenue to allow players and coaches to move on from a bad fit without penalty.

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers
I do wonder why Jamil would enter because I don't see him getting enough interest for a big payday. Does he have a problem with our coaches, not like Boone, or just looking for more playing time? I think he would get more playing time if he came back to Boone.

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers
Any and all of that could be possible from the player side. The other side of that is that he could have been advised to enter the portal by the coaches based on progress and improvement.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 12, 2025 4:39 pmI do wonder why Jamil would enter because I don't see him getting enough interest for a big payday.

I’m not insinuating that any of this is the reason but we only see the players on game day. We don’t see work ethic and commitment to get better both on the court or in the classroom.

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers
I almost mentioned that as one reason but I am curious. I would think our coaches would want him back unless there was issues we did not see off the court.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 12, 2025 4:44 pmAny and all of that could be possible from the player side.

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers
How many players have transferred/kicked off since the transfer portal became a thing? 20?
How many transferred for NIL money? 2-3?
We don’t have a great overall track record as a program, it’s improving, but I am starting to wonder why kids are consistently leaving winning teams for reasons other than money. It hasnt hurt us yet, but it sure isn’t easy replacing a ton of guys year in and year out.

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers
The portal like the every decision is college sports is rooted in tipping the scales in favor of the power schools. Sometimes wrapped in virtual signaling as what is best for the players.
