What's going on with Crean and UGA???
- Thread starter frazor
- Start date
True Dat! I saw where 9 Georgia players have entered the Portal, plus the little water bug Sahvir Wheeler that seemed to give Bama trouble entered the NBA Draft.
I thought I saw that Sahvir Wheeler signed with Kentucky? Their other guy gave teams trouble and was a total pain in the ass, KD Johnson, just signed with Auburn.
Yep... I went back to the AJC article I had read and it said Wheeler was considering NBA... but since then he announced he was portaling to Kentucky
That seems like an impossible situation unless they already had 7 or 8 guys coming in. The portal thing will absolutely break some programs. In football that would be like 55 guys hitting the portal including your QB and best playmakers on offense.
With the g league option for what once was a one and done player Calipari is transitioning to recruiting other college teams to make up for not having 4 to 7 top 30 high school players coming in every year.

Let's say you are a guy like Juwan Holt and you have 12 offers. Why would you go to Bama and ride the bench? Why not take an in-depth look at a school like Furhman where you can go compile stats and turn that in to 25 scholarships?
holt has talent. he might not be riding the bench very long.
So you anticipate Holt showcasing his talent next year at Alabama in the same fashion that he would at MTSU?
Look what Darius Miles did with very little playing time. Some kids will trade playing time for a Sportscenter Top 10 moment like that. Plus, maybe he will get better coaching at Bama Than MTSU.
I am not doubting Miles or Holts talent. I am simply saying that the new transfer rules are allowing kids to use any nonblueblood school as a stepping stone to something better if they choose to play it that way. For as good as Miles is he avg less than 1 rebound and just over 2 pts in 17 games last season. In limited action last year he looked as though he could easily get off 20+ shots a game if he were "turned loose" so to speak. So my argument is that he could have easily shown out at a lesser school and gotten a whole new list of offers this offseason.
I don’t disagree. I do think in both basketball and football, the FCS schools and mid-majors will become the minor leagues for the power 5 conferences. Look at the kid from Furman that we are getting. It will only get better for big name teams and worse for crap teams.
The portal is ruining basketball and should be shut down. These kids are spoiled beyond belief and entitled as hell. Ridiculous.
