The transferring D2 seniors have 1 year left and we can get a year or 2 out of the freshman until they grow tired of Linder. It’s great for the sale of the pre-season basketball program So we can know who are these f*cking guys. The annual Linder exodus continues with Sirtautus leaving.

If you run a bad program or are an asshat as a coach, expect guys to not stick around. It's not all about NIL. Kids still want to hoop it up and a scholarship still has substantial value. Also, the way many of NIL collectives operate isn't sustainable. Donors will get sick of throwing away money. 1 Quote “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.” -Richard Feynman "When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators." -P.J.

ltcpilot Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 On 3/24/2024 at 2:26 PM, wyo 1 said: That sucks, he’s a hell of a player. Yep....standing by to stand by............. Per the Gazette and multiple sources it appears Air Force Men's Basketball players Rytis Petraitis and Kellan Boylen have entered the NCAA transfer portal. I understand the desire for athletes in today's environment to explore their options but this will obviously be a step backward for our program if they leave. I was reminded that the portal is not a finite position players take. They can enter, explore options and then ask to remain at their current school. My understanding is it is not always 100% that a spot is available with other transfers in/out civilian programs, but the academies are not in that situation as they do not take transfers in. Most recently AJ Walker entered the portal after his sophomore year then pull his name and stayed at USAFA averaging 14.7 ppg over his junior and senior seasons and graduating as a 2Lt. The emphasis for both these young men and others is to determine whether the option of play basketball elsewhere (and with any associated NIL that may occur) be your priority while gaining an education, or after reflecting on their choices, to graduate from the Air Force Academy with a top-notch academic education, a guaranteed career path and the opportunity to be a leader in our Air or Space Forces. In either case I know this program is ready to survive and take the next step next fall with our seniors leading the way. Good luck and God Speed. GO FALCONS 2 Quote ..GO FALCONS..

jdgaucho Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Not a MW player (yet?). but @soupslam1 and @TheSanDiegan, SDSU and Boise should reach out immediately. Bryce Pope is a baller. Big loss for UCSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
