Transfer Portal

[John Cocktolstoy]

I’m gonna go on a limb and say Lacy will be the next to enter the portal.

Even if it is “just business,” it’s still infuriating and reflects poorly on Napier. These two things can be true at the same time.

A very successful and ethically sound friend of mine once told me he HATES the phrase, “it’s just business”! He said if you use that line as an excuse to burn bridges, you are lying to yourself and everybody around you.

He's overrated

They get tired of playing in a half ass media town in front of half ass crowds...I'd leave too...

Valid point. College athletes have a very small window - can't blame them for wanting to best experience possible.

I know I've moved on to greener pastures in my career.

Which "He" are you referring to? Alot of names being discussed in this thread...

I'm worried that if you can't recruit the guys you have in-house, you will soon find yourself in the outhouse.

I think a lack of social media coaching announcements is playng into this phenomenon.

Maybe you should fund some NIL "salaries" so the coaches can live up to your inhouse recruiting expectations.

"It's just business" is what people with no integrity say when they want to pretend they are not what they are.

Definitely under achieved some. But has the most up side in the room. If he could only get over himself he could be very good.

I would bet the players are hearing more about coaches and staff than what’s being portrayed to the public.

No public announcements means the talk dies in the clubhouse.

A social media presence and the players get the feel tha things are happening while on the streets and when they bump into associates.

No buzz

All this talk about kids just being kids can now be thrown out the window. Montrel Johnson had an opportunity to be a huge part of future UL success & IMO has p!$$ed it away on a situation that can only be worse for him at least playing time wise. If he couldn't beat out Amani Bailey for more playing time, then how does he expect to beat out five Amani bailey's for playing time. We'll see him again at Southeastern, or Nicholls, or Northwestern.

Alonzo Harris and Elizah McGuire filled roles and split time. Both played on Sundays.

Raymond Calais, Elijah Mitchell, and Trey Ragas filled roles and split time. All three are playing on Sundays.

Chris Smith, Emani Bailey, Montrell Johnson.....

Guess Montrell either didn't want to fill a role or split time.

Good luck playing behind somebody who's bigger and faster.

Or starting for Nichols.

Question: are you still working at your first job?
