Does portal parachute = success?

Jonnyeagle · March 28, 2023

Just looking at who we have lost, guys like Mo, Drez, Reecy etc has the portal really worked out that well for them? Seems to me they sort of disappeared on these other rosters. They were big time valuable pieces here. You see it in football as well with Brammer not even cracking the starting lineup at Vandy. Is there not an argument to be made that jumping ship is not always the best solution or does NIL money make it a moot point? Not to mention, loyalty and sticking true to commitments are lessons that can pay dividends later in life. There will always be a stigma on these guys.

I also believe if you transfer out for portal or NIL or whatever you should not be eligible for the UNT Hall of Fame.

is Mo here Umoja Gibson? the two year starter at OU and then grad year starter and leading scorer at DePaul?

James Reece started every game for SC and averaged double figures. he's also from SC.

Drez struggled for Georgia...but looky there...he's also from Georgia and like Reece got to finish his college career at home.

plus, James Reece wasn't "loyal" to Buffalo when he transferred out. how does that figure into your stance? should our incoming transfer portal players also be potentially ineligible for the Hall of Fame because of the "stigma"? Sorry Jayden. Sorry Tyree...@johnnyeagle doesn't appreciate your contribution while here and has some serious doubts about your ability to learn life lessons down the road.

in short, get over it.
