Devion Harmon to the Portal

Almost every team on his list is going to offer more than the starting job. The ncaa doesn’t care if you pay players anymore, so why not?

100% agree. And, it's only going to get worse. Not only is the new transfer rule basically free agency, it's free agency with no limits. The mid majors will now become nothing more than a glorified JUCO. Go mid major, stay until you feel the time is right, then shop yourself to a power 5. If it never happens then you get to hang around and get a degree. And, play hoops for 4 years.

NCAA sports are getting ready to be done as we currently know it.
 
Lottery pick? Good riddance, that kid is nuts.

Yep... Kid is a total lunatic... He's old enough to have some self awareness... Come on man.

Harmon needs to go somewhere else... He's insane and not committed
 
If Harmon goes to texas or osu, he’s dead to me. It’s total Bull**** when players can transfer to rivals with no punishment. Transfers in conferemce should have to sit out a year. It’s total crap letting them transfer without penalty to teams in conference. BULL****.
 
Yep. There needs to be a rule that says you're good anywhere else but in conference, then it's a year sitting out.
 
No need to preemptively turn on the guy. All we know is he's in the portal and he's doing zoom meetings with a few teams, including OU. That's it. If he (or a friend or a family member) should read this board, we're not giving him much reason to stick around (especially if they're also reading the boards of the teams that would love to have him).

If he leaves and goes to a Big 12 team, I'll be mad too and I certainly won't cheer for him -- but there's no need to trash him in advance of that happening. I just think we're getting stirred up when we don't have nearly all the information about where things stand now -- much less where they're stand in a week or a month.

I'd take him back with open arms, because a) I enjoyed watching him play and b) he has seemed a decent young man during his time at OU and c) he's a huge key (unless Coach Moser has a number of transfers in the works that we don't know about) to us being even a decent team next year. I am decidedly not up for a three-year rebuild. I want to enjoy OU hoops next season and every year after that for the foreseeable future.
 
you know those turbotax commercials where they only use the word "free" as dialog? that's how you recruit harmon.

nba. nba nba nba, nba nba. nba nba nba. nba. nba nba nba nba nba nba. nba, nba nba nba nba. nba. nba nba nba nba. nba...nba.

Again, he could start at PG at OU. He can't cover a 2 guard in the NBA because he is too small. I think this whole thing is driven by his parents who are dreaming of the big bucks that are not coming.

His parents have said they are making a business decision. If I’m Harmon I would rather get paid to play college basketball than not get paid since the ncaa doesn’t punish the offenders. Guarantee his best friend at ku has told him about his set up at ku. Probably $5k-$10k a month or something like that. Lon wasn’t paying him sh1t and neither will Moser. It’s a wrap, folks, u can bet that.

I’m done with him. You can say a lot of things and I’ll chalk it up to bring a kid but those Texas statements say too much for me!

Texas makes sense then. They didn’t nab KU’s best recruiter for an assistant, who is named in the FBI wiretaps, for no reason. They don’t have 5 assistant coaches on the roster for no reason. They saw what Baylor did and said “wait a minute, that’s all it takes? Man we pay 4x as much in football”

What did he say? All I saw was him quoting Beard. I'll admit that suggests he's been taken in a bit by the nonsense Beard is spewing, but hopefully he snaps out of that. I'd bet a month's rent (if I were a betting man) that Beard won't win a national title at texas in the two years Harmon has remaining, if ever.

I'd bet beard won't win a title at UT period. Mark it down.

I would too, but maybe not a month's rent at NYC prices.

On the other hand, if Beard is putting his, er, money where his mouth is (and it wouldn't surprise me), all bets are off.
 
I don’t hate the kid.... I just don’t think he’s as good as he and his family thinks he is.

Don’t believe in “recruiting” him back to OU.

Let him leave and good luck unless ya are playing OU.
 
They should just let him walk. I wouldn’t participate in any sort of re-recruitment here. Moser introducing himself and laying out his vision is perfectly fine, but no chance would I engage in some sort of campaign to convince him to stay. That’s ridiculous.

this is how it is going to be with lots of players in lots of future years

Totally agree! Peace out!
 
Portal is destroying college sports

The underlying condition is money/greed. It cannot be treated unfortunately. Too many greedy MFers out here these days. Ruin the purest things humans can do.
 
Teams are going to have to rerecruit every year any player that has a good year..
