Themus The PG / Transfer Portal

[CrazyCajun]

Weird how you change the subject. Nobody is talking about any of this. The conversation was if you would take someone back who entered the portal.

I would, and we do all the time and have for years. These players know what their teammates are doing, the fans don't. The majority of these kids are always weighing their options and would jump for a better one if offered.

What does that tell you, that ULM didn't think Marlin was out of their league to hire, and that Marlin felt the same about ULM. Let's play a game. If Marlin would be let go from UL today, does he get a job at a higher or lower profile school?

It wasn’t ULM. But it was in state.

The fact that a young man looking out for himself bothers you this much is the issue, when schools and coaches have zero loyalty to these players when it benefits them. Players are told all the time to take a hike by coaches, fans and universities. Now, they have some negotiation power its an issue.

This is absolutely correct. It changes the entire collegiate structure, which most fans cling to. But the truth is the matter is, they now have the leverage they’ve always deserved. It is what it is.

Tech I assume.

They all do, you just don't know about it. Your idea of these players loyalty is a myth in your own mind. In fact, I think those completely loyal kids are in the extreme minority.

Wait until the new football media contracts kick in. The big boys will have more expendable money. Then creatively will abound when it comes to collectives and the next tier of sports, such as softball and baseball get impacted. Look for a hard push for scholarship numbers to increase then a bidding war with collectives. Loyalty is a dying thing.

You’ll know it’s over when college kids get paid more than minor league base pay.

The portal has barely been around, so we haven't been doing it for years. Name 2 or 3 people that has entered the portal and the Cajuns have taken them back, since you say we do it all the time? I have access to the portal for baseball, basketball, football, and softball. I can't name two. So are these kids from others sports? I will wait for you to respond, this should be really good.

Themus, I know you reading this board bro. Quit playing with us, take ya name out the portal.

I don’t have NIL money but best I can do is 5 lbs of crawfish with 3 sides.

That’s Exactly my point that you can’t seem to grasp, it’s been going on forever..,you only know about it now bc of the portal. Athletes have been trying to transfer and get paid in the offseason forever, it’s just above the table now. Many of these loyal athletes weren’t Loyal, they just couldn’t/didn’t secure better options. The portal isn’t the problem, it’s a database..a spread sheet. The no sit rule is what drives all this.

[CAJUNJUDO]

Seems like there could be a better way to leverage one’s situation.

[moorecajun]

Ok, ok, I’ll play.

Ready? Here we go:

The obvious answer is that we need more movement after penetration in order to be able to finish.

I think if you can get more movement after penetraton both parties are happy.

Name 2 or 3 players. I am still waiting. Now you are crawfishing.

You just aren’t intelligent enough to follow. You don’t think an athlete here ever wanted to transfer but ended up staying before 2 years ago? you really think that?
