Good point, just made my first shot of espresso.

Are we still friends Rocky?

Usually, it's about academics

As it was meant to be.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on March 11, 2025, 02:49:27 PMThe Portal does not open until March 24. Players can announce they are going in (North Dakota's stud who dropped 40 on Alabama announced his intent to enter) but as of now, nobody is officially in the Portal.

There are some exceptions.

Anyone who is (or expects to be) a graduate transfer can enter now. 

In addition, the portal opens for 30 days starting the day a coach leaves, so some of these mid-season or early coach departures give some players a head start. For example, Virgina players could enter the portal way back in October after Tony Bennett left--they didn't have to wait until March 24.

Pretty safe bet, Sean knows Shaka is leaving

Yep. And it's hard to imagine that Sean doesn't see himself as the top-minute PG for Marquette I'm 2025-26. Also hard to imagine that Shaka told him anything differently.

I'm concerned

I would hate to see Sean transfer since he seems like a nice young man and can probably be a good player. Seems odd that he would leave Shaka, especially after the surgery, rehab, and Shaka allowing him to come back at his own pace. But, if some other school is willing to give him a big payday and that is his priority, so be it. MU is bound to lose a player to the portal every now and then.

Anything's possible but this seems like nonsense.  Also, excited about Sean but I don't see how any school would offer him a big pay day based on his limited production and the fact that he's coming off major surgery and won't have played a game in almost 2 years by the time November rolls around.

This is by far the best answer I have seen yet. Kudos!

How dare you? Nonsense in Scoop!!!

I know Scoop is typically the bastion of objectivity, logic, facts, and truth but every once in a while some nonsense slips in.  I'm as appalled as you are.
