Basketball Transfer Portal '25

With all of the transfer discussion, here is an article about high school recruiting and how the Big 12 has more top-rated recruits than any other conference. Watch out for Houston. https://fanrecap.com/big-12-dominate...EdeGXIK3tRs-2g

Baylor’s Rob Wright projected to go to BYU. Cougars are spending $$$.

Just saw that Wright is getting $3.5 million. I can see the upside, but we're talking about a guy who made only 43% from two this year. 2.3 BPM. That's crazy money.

Chad Brendel mentioned that he's heard that a transfer big will be on campus, probably tomorrow. He's trying to run down the name.

That’s more than the NBA minimum for a 10 year veteran. It’s getting harder and harder to care.

Your absolutely right LTF. This throwing around money is getting ridiculous.

[red_n_black_attack]

While the money being thrown around is ridiculous, it is also ridiculous that UC only has a 6-7 million dollar budget for the basketball program. As I've said before, we have a very large fanbase. If only 5000 fans commited to $50/month, our basketball budget goes up by 3 million. Yes, large donors make big impacts, but until Cincy Reigns (or UC) is more successful getting monthly donations that add up, we will be behind other schools. This is not to say we don't need the big donors, rather we could need fewer of them. It is not unreasonable to expect UC to be able to get 15,000-20,000 small donors, once the NIL collection is pulled into the athletic department, and thus tax deductible.

Yep. It's just gross.

[bearcatbret]

Yep. It's just gross.

It is no wonder why kids are staying in college 5-6 years and transferring 2-3 times. They are not good enough to make the NBA and they are getting paid more than the minor leagues (and more than they would if they got drafted after the first round).

There's a reason that list is a little underwhelming. Negative 1.7 BPM last season and for his career. Four schools in four years, and barely saw the floor at NC St last year. Bad shooter - 29% from three, 42% from two, 60% FT. He's a decent distributor, but not much else.

That's going to be Brandon Garrison formerly of UK

And after just short of 75 years I have lost interest, and have given up my tickets. I don't care whether it's football or basketball - if I'm going to root for/have an interest in, theams playing these sports if they are just another form of professionals, I'll root for the Bengals or the Knicks (I'm originally from NYC so there is the association - still a die hard NY Ranger fan.)
