A lot more apparently.  I just don’t see that as a good fit though, since that’s a defensive-first team, but we’ll see. 

Yeah and I also learned that his cousin who now plays for the ATL Hawks also played for MD. His cousin was a big time player there so he probably helped with the decision.

Either way. Good for him I suppose. I do think he would've developed much more here than he will there due to their play style as you mentioned.

Off to Maryland.  

Dang. I missed this post. Just read about it this morning. Had no idea that he officially left for MD. 

That stinks. I can't imagine how much more they are able to pay these guys to play.

I like the pick, looks good on tape and solid stats. He'll be a one and done, having already played 4 years. 

I would have preferred Lajae Jones, who looks like a better skilled player and shooter.

Thanks for your assessment. I'm slowly beginning to be more optimistic about the upcoming season.

@panchosanchez99

What are your thoughts?? I must know

Is coach ever not sweating profusely??

• Revenue distribution: The Big Ten and SEC each earn 29% of the $1.3 billion; the ACC gets 17.1% while the Big 12 receives 14.7%; the remaining amount will be distributed to Notre Dame (about 1%) and the 64 Group of Five teams (about 9%).

 

9% to the 64 Group of Five teams.  Wow, sounds fair to me....  I guess they think fans from teams left out of the playoff system and revenue sharing will still watch the playoffs?  

Unfortunately they probably still will. I find it interesting how much people watch the product even when their team is not anywhere in the picture.

Btw read this morning... yeesh where's our hookup. Yuengling can you throw a couple milli at us??

Player not in the portal in our case ....

 

Typically anyone else doing this, I would cringe.

Coach CAAR can pull this off as the smooth fella that he is.

We gooooood gents reeelaaaax...

Ok what in the world did I just watch??

This is cool and all but for a coach to straight up speak to what felt like some of us (including myself) directly is blowing my mind.

Makes me ask so many questions, are the players transferring being harassed? Is the coach being bugged day in and day out if the sky is falling? Is CAAR just that self aware of the concern bulls nation has as to the players transferring? 

I'm still processing how I feel about all this but it sure impresses me. I don't recall a time that we've had a coach directly address our (my) concerns and speak so directly about the elephant in the room. This is real good ****.

Coach CAAR is certainly a true leader and takes the BULL by the Horns!

I remember when Louisville use to be on our level. Now we have our star Player going for a visit over there. 

 

The reality of this is a punch in the gut.

I was ok with Sam Hines as he was looking for a way to get his playing time higher. But a Star player leaving for money is pretty lame.

Declaring for the NBA is one thing but transferring to a different school for money is another. 

Ahhh ****...

I keep reading, "that's life in the small or minor leagues" but I think this happen$ even in the $EC or ACC. It's all about the money nothing more.

This news about Pryor does not surprise me as I've watched pre and post game interviews mentioning about how he very much views his game as a business and his actions are that as well.

How true is this about Pryor???

Fake news. He was not honored during senior night.

I've only been part of the ELITE MBB STM for a year, so last season we received USF wine glasses or whiskey glasses.

Join Fowler Ave and set up a monthly donation. Enough ppl do that and we can pay.

BOOM!!!!!!

Thank you friend for the motivation.

No lie, I literally just signed up and set up a monthly payment plan.

Can't ***** and moan on this board if i'm not contributing. Time to put my money where my mouth is.

C'mon Bulls fam. If you're not giving to the collective at least take a look and see if one of those monthly plans can work for you. Seriously it's not much.

Go BULLS!

Well ****...

He did play high school basketball in Orlando. If he transfers to UCF it’s probably better if he never comes back to USF for anything, I’m sorry. I know a lot former usf players come back during the off season to practice, well he better go to UCF for that. He will be a professional basketball player when he’s done with college basketball, but I doubt it will be in the NBA.

Calm down my friend. There's 16 other schools on that list. So let's not disown the poor guy until something like that actually happens. 

We can't blame a guy for attempting to provide for his family and look for the best opportunity even if it's not USF.

That being said, if it is that trash school in ovideo then **** that guy .

Miguel nooooooooo...

I don't know. I feel that going to Memphis from Tulsa is a major step up. Memphis despite a disappointing year is elite and probably the flagship program of the AAC. Tulsa is the exact opposite of that.

I don't disagree. You are certainly correct. However if you have Texas or K State calling then why not make that move. That's all i'm saying.

But money talks...

Looks like we will still see this guy next season 

Tulsa transfer guard PJ Haggerty, On3’s No. 2 overall transfer portal prospect, is officially off the board and headed to Memphis. He says he chose Penny Hardaway and the Tigers over Texas, Kansas State, and Providence.

Wowwwww. That's so lame. The only issue I have with it is that it's an in conference transfer. Seems pointless to me, not like Penny actually develops players.

If you're going to leave make it a big change not just some other in conference school that's trying to win from brute talent.
