MBB TPT2 TRANSFER PORTAL THREAD 2

[Boom Soon]

Re: MBB TBT2

I don’t really get how most agree that next year is a HUGE year for Moser and we are in need of a BIG talent increase, then guys transfer out that probably weren’t going to make that big of a leap next year, and people get upset about it.

I get not wanting a bunch of roster turnover normally. But this isn’t normally. This is a coach literally coaching for his job, knowing he has to upgrade the talent big time. This isn’t an offseason where you want to just “retain talent” because it’s good for the program.

He has to completely revamp the roster with talent, or he won’t be here in a year, and these players that a lot of people are bummed about transferring out now, will be transferring in a year.

Literally the only players that need to stay in my opinion is Uzan, Oweh, and Godwin (Hill is leaving by all accounts, so I’m not including him in this). If literally ANYONE else on the roster decides to leave, I don’t think the program will be hurt NEXT YEAR, and that’s all Moser should be caring about right now.

Good points. But a coach also has to look at what the team needs most. One can't just revamp a roster because that's what is expected when he's in the hot seat. There's got to be some tact behind it. I think we can all agree that athleticism and length is what Moser should be after. OU desperately needs those two things, and that is what Shroeder had (at the very least). But now that length and athleticism is gone, and we have to trust that Moser can go find another athletic guard, with length from the portal. Oh and one that wants to go to OU.

On the contrast, I will not be sad at all if Noland, and/or J. Groves leaves. Why? Because OU needs better athletes than them. If OU was full of really good athletes but lacked basketball skill then things would be different. Maybe the loss of one of the top athletes on the team wouldn't hurt so much.

I don’t think any of us know how good the German kid is because he never played. If you’re going to recruit a kid from Europe, he needs to stay more than one season. Good grief. What a giant waste of time and resources.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

In the nicest way possible, I really hope I don't have to watch him in an OU uni again.

Lose the athletic freshmen, keep the unathletic senior. Perfection.

Wow, one of Butler's best players is hitting the portal and he's from Indianapolis at that.

You sure have it all figured out.

This would be almost comical if it happens. Sticking with a 5th-year guy with a ceiling about two inches above the ground.

Re: MBB TBT2

FWIW, I'm mostly kidding on Jacob.

At the end of the day, I'm going to cheer for whoever dons the C&C. Even the ones who make by eyes bleed.

....also, I kind of have my eye on Dildy. Some of his twitter follows have been odd recently. Numerous HS ballers from Massachusetts and today, the basketball ops person at Loyola MD (Sydney Hines).

Looks intimidating. Sign him up.

We have bigger issues than J. Groves getting backup minutes at the 3/4. Not saying he is a stud, just that we have bigger issues. If he stays and starts? That's an issue. Don't see that happening though with PM's comments about what he is looking for.

Also, if the rumors are to be believed, Collins is a big man at Kentucky that will be heading this way.....after UK's tourney is over, of course.

Another talented Central Michigan player hitting the portal.

Frosh.

At one time, the kid had offers from K-State, Oregon St, Tech, Florida, Illinois, Providence, etc.

I know. If only I could be on staff

In seriousness, I will cheer for the team regardless of who is or isn't on it next year. But forgive me if I don't trust the current coaching staff regarding roster development.

Re: MBB Portal Thread 2

Watch the spin-game that now occurs. Wasn't anybody on this board that wasn't overly excited for him last year. And you can include me in that group as well.

That's not my recollection at all. Many thought he had potential (as most recruits do), but the excitement is nowhere near as high as for guys like Uzan, Oweh, Cooper, and even Cole. Excitement was more in line with Mawein. Better to process these guys after one year than spend 4-5 with them on scholarship. Some on here need education about sunk costs.
