***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

Not holding students hostage at a school because they're athletes, what a travesty.

I'm all for player mobility and for them getting paid. But mid-year transfers is a step too far for me. You can't have teams retooling rosters halfway through the year. You can't have your starting PG take off for Kentucky in the middle of a season. At some point you have to have some logical fairness.

I'm all for kids being able to transfer, no issue but there isn't another sport on the planet with mid-season free agency.

That will not happen

There are no contracts holding kids to a school for the full year and if it goes to court, the players are going win.

It's coming.

I wonder when someone will sue to be allowed to play for more than 4 or 5 years. If you can't put rules against players getting paid or transferring, how can you say how many years they can play?

Marcus Domask is doing that right now. He missed part of his sophomore year at SIU but played over the 30% threshold. He's going to sue to say that year shouldn't count because the 30% cut off is arbitrary and that he didn't get the full year and it hurt his pro prospects so he needs to be granted another year.

They'll be employees under contract before we make it that far

I don't really understand his case for a waiver since it was the Free COVID year anyways, correct?

He is suing because he played 10 games which, in a normal year, would be under the 30% threshold but that year SIU's season was shortened to 26 games due to COVID. Again though, he shouldn't get a waiver because that was a free year anyways and he played 4 full non-Covid seasons.

I'm in full agreement with you. I don't see how he possibly has a case but the NCAA hasn't won any of these rulings.

I haven't seen anything trustworthy - but I saw a random video that predicted he'd go to UCLA, which I thought was an odd landing spot

Starting to wonder if he’s not getting much P5 interest

 

[Drew0311]

NIL can actually help fix this. Need to start signing kids to two year contracts or they have to pay back some of the money. Much like a coach who leaves to go to another school.

 

[Drew0311]

I thought that also but there is always someone willing to give him a shot. Probably a team that likes to run and gun and not our slow down offensive system.

 

[heitclone]

Ugh that makes me feel bad that a home town kids does it

Pretty sure I heard on one of their games that he went to high school directly across the street from campus, has know that staff since he was a child. This one is really surprising.

 

[LLCoolCY]

And we’re back.

A pg? Are we expecting a transfer out yet in our back court?

Career high is 1 assist per game. He’s not a pg, he is a wing

Fran getting in the mix too. Seems like this is one of the bigger names we've seen him involved with.

Agree. The question will be whether the schools will insert a non-competition clause which are common in employment contracts.
