Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)
- Thread starter 19210
- Start date
Turning over 50% of your roster absolutely sucks. NCAA should go back to the sit out rule imo.
Hopefully we get a few 2 & 3 year guys out of the portal so we don’t see this dramatic shift again for a few years.

It's absolutely gross that coaches are immediately trying to recruit over kids the day after they commit but adapt or die.
TJ is very respected reputation for his honesty with the kids. I’d expect the conversation was had in a very respectful manner with each of these kids and they parted ways amicably.
Ability wise, freshman Fizer would have started for us this year
He was able to play at this level Day 1.

Exactly, AND this is the reason I think NIL will also eventually become more of a science. If I dumped a bunch of money on Omaha, I'd be a tad disappointed. And, accordingly will be more scrutinizing next time.
Honestly I don’t really care if we lose Omaha. It was exciting while it lasted but I think his ranking was way way too high. He won’t be ready next year either unless there is some freakish turn around in the off season. We can get far better players in the portal in my opinion
Allowed? Because they’re students, the NCAA can’t restrict student mobility anymore than other students face.
Want to impose restrictions to annual transfer ability, then make them employees and specify the term length in the contract

I think @NoCreativity was referring to the possibility of him transferring or leaving even earlier in the modern rules.
The sit out rule would have absolutely ruined our team this year and would have ruined TJ’s first year team that also made it to the second weekend. Look at what the NCAA ruled with Tre King. When you are inconsistent on your rulings you create an unfair advantage for the schools you favor. Why does it matter if guys are on the roster for 2-3 years or just 1? The point is to put the best roster together and win.
So are there rules for NIL in that way? Let’s say a local car dealership wants to give an NIL deal to a player. Can they stipulate that they must be available for local events over the course of 4 years? So if the kid transfers he would not be available and be in violation of the contract? Can the dealership then sue to get the money back?
These NIL deals are for marketing purposes, right? So you should be expected to be signing up for appearances.
Moneyball approach is already needed, and imo used by many
As much as I’d like to keep Omaha, if we have limited NIL to keep top guys and fill in Ward/Jones/King spots, how much goes to Omaha? Imo, zero.
If we have limited minutes, how many minutes do we give Omaha as on the job training, rather than signing guys that don’t need it? Imo, zero.
It’s mutually not a good fit. We Omaha’s talent and/or he hasn’t developed enough over the last two years to keep up
KU spent a lot last year on well sought after guys. They had the money, but their front office decisions sucked
Sorry to see him leave, kid was a 5 star athlete, based on his running, jumping and getting up the floor, but skill wise he was more of a 2 star level kid is what I saw the few minutes he played. Had terrible hands, struggled catching and shooting the ball. Everything he did on the floor seemed like it was a struggle instead of being a smooth natural movement. He reminded me of a more athletic version of Robb, great hustle and attitude, but just a low skill level of putting the ball in the hoop.
Dont know not on premiuim. Heard it from someone say this close to the situation.
Isn't that sort of aligned to how the Kaden proctor deal reportedly went? He reportedly got about 10-15% of his corporate NIL money while he was there for about 6 or so weeks.
Disagree. Nothing about the below is about talented players doing well and thus leaving. It’s about highly regarded recruits not getting time to play
“So our highest rated player in school history scores a grand total of 45 points then he's run off?
That's a 3 star, 150ish rated player, not a consensus 5-star. I just dumbfounded how the recruiting rankings were that far off on him.”
I think what you are stating about his hands was more connected to the speed of the game and his decision making. He seemed to be rushing the play or his movements.
For example, a pass would come his way and he would start his movement into a shot before fully gathering the pass. Or, he would be in the process of getting ready to rebound on a drive then the guard would dump a ball his direction. He just seemed to mentally be a half play ahead of where the action was.
This is what our defense does to other teams which causes a lot of turnovers. He was used to practicing against that pace of play
Becuase the free market is always right? That is what I have been told about everything important. Regulation and rules are always wrong. Let money and market take care of it. People will do what is best when you simply add money to the process.
