Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

It would have been great to land Haralson IMO, but at this point I'm just hoping for a team with legitimate quality depth this season. No college player is flawless, but Haralson has tantalizing talent - obviously his jumpshot is a huge question-mark but he still managed 16 ppg without one & the other thing that makes me question Haralson is why he only averaged playing 26 minutes when he was by far the leading scorer on a terrible ND team. Makes me think if he's by far the most talented guy on the team but still not playing over 30 minutes, there must be some other flaw to his game.

The Buckeyes seem to have the frontcourt in OK shape, now need 2-3 guys to play the 1-3 positions that are better than 1-4 ppg scorers.

I'm hoping for Jimmie Williams and a PG type that's at least somewhat better than Cupps

That with Jelavic and Ivan as big subs would give us a sizeable improvement over last year's bench.

Not to seem like sour grapes but I think Haralson is a bit overrated, he's a decent player but he has some major flaws (especially when it comes to shooting) I think some in this fan base were gassing him up a little much.

I'm willing to bet that many people on this board have either participated, or come damn close to participating, in many of the moral behaviors discussed. I think the problem arises when people put sports people on a pedestal and then expect them to act according to the moral compass that they think people on that pedestal should follow. I want to be clear...Vrabel's behavior suggests that he does not interpret the importance of several values in the same way as many people here do...and further that he is going down a path that will lead ultimately to some serious issues in his life. If this is true, it will probably affect his performance as a coach, at least for a period of time.

We know what wins in the end, almost all of the time.

I think the problem arises when people do selfish shit like cheat on their spouses. Yeah, I guess he doesn't "interpret the importance of the value" of breaking his wedding vow to his wife as being on his moral compass. The bending over backwards to make excuses for him is embarrassing

For the record, I don't give a shit about his personal life. But I'm not going to act like he's some kind of victim or doesn't deserve ridicule just because he was a Buckeye

Looks like OSU has missed out on both of their original top portal targets. Rob Wright has chosen to return to BYU and Jalen Haralson has committed to Tennessee.

Iowa Hawkeyes (Official Thread of The Under)

About the only thing consistent about the NCAA is their inconsistency.

I remember over 20 years ago when Jeremy Bloom was ruled ineligible for Colorado. He was a WR/return man who was an Olympian and actual World Champion in mogul skiing. He had some paid endorsements for snowboards so the NCAA said he couldn’t play college football.

About the same time, Domer DB Tommy Zbikowski wanted to take part in a boxing match with paying customers. The NCAA said that was OK.

The fact that almost nobody would care about the boxing match unless he played football at ND didn’t matter. While on the other hand, people buying snowboards endorsed by Bloom might care about the fact that he was a World Champion skier but probably couldn't care less that he also played college football.

Logic and fairness never seem to be their priorities.

I just looked up Jeremy. He’s a multi-millionaire, the current CEO of the X Games, and is married to a Brazilian actress.

It's a bummer all these other guys like Witt, Griffin, Acuna, McGonigle have accepted the long extension and Elly is the one guy who turned it down. Typical Reds luck

Is it luck though?

I mean turning down $39.47 and an opened pack of gum isn't exactly unreasonable.

Cripes. I never thought of that.
Who will defend us, now? Gen Z? The nazis can invade, armed with little more than peanuts and insults, and Gen Z won't be able to cope.
Maybe Powdered Toast Man?

Nah, Z gets a bad wrap. They'll fight.

It's the Millennials you have to watch out for. The Nazi's know what Vichy looks like when they see it.

Why do you think they sent Taylor Swift down to scout us out? Her popularity all but guarantees the invasion.

Nazi's are like anyone else, they take an ass kicking and they remember it. They want to be sure our grandfathers and great grandfathers are gone before they show their faces again. We are softer now than the French ever thought about being in '39.

Just ignorant spending of money. I'm ready to get it this ride.

It's definitely making me quickly lose much interest in college hoops. The Football portal is a joke too but I think it's much worse in basketball because of the way smaller roster size.

IU has hit the portal hard, just landed Bama transfer Sherrell, who was one of the top bigs. They just got another of the top bigs yesterday, Yigitoglu from SMU, and landed star PG Burton from ND. Plus they got a couple wings out of the ACC including one that got 10 ppg at GT and a Duke transfer. Hoosiers have basically bought an entire team in the portal.
