2024 Transfer Portal Thread

What do we say folks, Awaka or mystery big man behind door #3?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Can’t wait to bitch about this person

 

[Delmar]

Loophole or not having fake classes that every student at the university can attend is not some advantage and I wouldn’t call it cheating considering it’s not some athletic advantage…I took a lot of dumb easy classes in college because you have to as part of your undergrad.

Also screw the corrupt ncaa, ppl like Will Wade should be banned from coaching again. That is a true verified cheater…

Absolutely agree on Will Wade and you can add Bill Self to that list too. But as for NC, whether those classes were for regular students or athletes, their academic integrity as an institution is compromised. (I don’t know about you but there certainly weren’t any fake classes in the biology and chemistry buildings where I spent most of my time. Wish there had been.)

At the end of the day, if NC had fake classes for athletes and other schools did not, then in my view that’s cheating. Really don’t care what the NCAA had to say. It was typical protection for one of the sacred cows.

Barnes on Awaka: “But Tobe obviously, you know, we all respect him and love him for what he did for us. But if he feels he’s got to go through the process, he needs to do it. But with that said, we’re not waiting, because we’re going to move forward and build this roster as quickly as we can.”

Good on Rick! No single player can hold a school hostage while they figure out what’s best for them. There’s going to be some big losers in this environment and the stories need to be told so these guys think twice about jumping in.

As usual, I’ll post when/if they hit the portal.

This reminds me of Yuri Collins when you had us all guessing names lmao

 

[TrippieRedd]

Fair, is said player considered a top transfer type?

I’m guessing Johnathan Mogbo

Same build as Tobe. This dude is a baller though. Just a random off the wall guess

Averaged 14/10
63% FG

That would be very ideal

 

[McGeesPub]

Further down in that thread the poster said something to the effect of it would be big news when that person hits the portal.

I have a wild guess (or maybe hope - to be clear, no inside information) but that’s what he said.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Barnes interview gave me the impression of someone who is not burned out about the current state of college sports and seems like his staff is dialed in with transfers this year and ready if someone leaves.

You took completely fake classes?

Let’s be honest, we all know the classes were only made available to “all students wink wink” was so they would be able to have plausible deniability. Those “classes” were for the athletes.

And if “all students” could take them, what does that say about their esteemed academic “excellence”? It’s a joke either way. I think it’s more along the lines of your description. Wink, wink.

Everybody knows that all schools have Advanced Basket Weaving or Underwater BB Stacking 101 for athletes. But if you have entirely fake classes that athletes can use, that is an advantage over schools that don’t. No other way for me to look at it.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Can we start a North Carolina fake classes thread? All the kids are taking about it

 

[StPeteVFL]

Better, equivalent, or not quite the quality of player as Awaka?

It’s been over 20 years probably, but SI or ESPN the magazine used to ask various athlete random questions, and if you saw Rasheed Wallace’s answers to those questions, you’d know with no doubt that dude wasn’t going to any real classes.

Lol yes I had to take electives in my undergrad where I thought “why the hell is this a class”

And Delmar I don’t have any skin in this game I could care less what UNC fans think of their university academically, and I agree and I think they would even have to agree that it was an embarrassing moment for them in that regard

 

[b_gann]

This is why it was so important to keep both him and ZZ. Having two vocal leaders next year is huge. They gotta work those freshmen and get them ready to be sophomores and contribute.

Also why I think Mashack makes the starting 5 one way or another. Barnes usually rewards his guys.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Another big that would cause big news imo is Daron Holmes

Holmes or Mogbo would be nice.

 

[TrippieRedd]

We’ve contacted Boogie Fland!


Gimmieeeee

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Can’t wait to bitch about this person

Sounds like every woman in America

[DocVol]

HEY THAT’S MY WIFE YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!!

 

[AurantiacoFan]

Apparently in response to Baylor's $ offer to Jeremy Roach.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Boogie “Wonder” Fland?

 

[TrippieRedd]

That’s the only other big I can think of.
