Wow. If you really want to hear transfer portal panic listen to some Kentucky fans. They are having a complete meltdown.

It’s musical chairs. I used to think the schools were the chairs. But now I believe the good players are the chairs.

ā€œā€¦we aren’t just shooting ourselves in the foot; we have taken out an axe, and are cutting off our limbs.ā€ Lol.

I guess we don’t have it very bad.

  • Edmead to NC State
  • DWT to Boise State
  • RJ Johnson to Mississippi State
  • Adam Olsen still in portal.

So at least the first three are getting starting roles. Will depend on where Olsen ends up but he’s also likely in line for a starting position unless he goes to Auburn.

A lot harder to find your Jacari when you’re selling a bench role. Also, low majors kinda effed moving forward. Edmead was as Hofstra as they come (hometown kid) and he bolted first chance.

They’re going through it, but at least the Kentucky fans in my life have already given up on this season and are daydreaming about Billy Donovan’s 2027 Kentucky portal (I’ll check back in in November, I don’t think they’re capable of checking out that easy)

The Louisville portal splashes have them in a really bad state though which is saying something because their resting state should already be in the DSM.

Billy D might have a different job soon:

Donovan plans to continue his coaching career and will be a viable target moving forward in the NBA landscape, sources said.

Also, looking at the preseason projections, I get why Kentucky fans are down bad. #47 here, even with 7 guys on their roster:

Florida may open soon, if you believe the Golden to Golden State noise

Really nice pickup for them. Excited to see how he does. At one point was hoping we’d pursue for a bench role since he played for Longwood under Griff.

I liked Edmead but realize we already have a smaller guard.

I think he’s a very classic NBA guy. Wouldn’t shock me at all if he left. Nothing sentimental tying him to the college game or Gainesville aside from access to coeds.

I thought he was going to be in the mix for the Suns job last year, and if he’s still in college when the Cronin-UCLA thing finally sours UCLA will make a push for him as well. Probably the highest flight risk of any of the current elite coaches imo (excluding potential retirees).

People are saying Matt Able is a lock to the Heels. Did we ever really have a chance here or?

Haugh return, Kerr-golden thing both hitting simultaneously

Same with Donovan leaving Bulls

I don’t think they’re all related but hell of a coincidence

Regardless of whether the photograph is fake, or not, for someone with so much disposable income, in the short term, real estate isn’t that poor of an investment regardless of its suitability for a twenty something.

Brown committed to UNC and they seem to be trending for Matt Able. Maybe UVA can get McNeil?

I dunno, you can buy a decent chunk of ā€œVanguard Target Retirement Fund 2070ā€ with what these guys are getting.
