MJ Collins in the portal. Rodney Rice in the portal. John Camden in the
portal. Again. Stock the same. Stock up. Stock up.

Can't blame Rice - he lost his coach
I assumed Willard will rob the building blocks from Maryland because they had the pieces.

I guess he thinks he's a PG
PG has to distribute the ball, make his teammates play better, and play D. None of these are his strong points. He quit VT because he couldn't beat out Pedulla. The tournament showed why. CMY was ahead of his time. Did we pay any NIL to him before he quit?

He didn’t lose his coach last time he bailed on his team. Pffft

Yeah I would guess many Terps will head to Villanova.

I heard Gillespie was in the portal as well. And they're losing Queen and
Reece. Has there ever been a player that went back to a school he portalled from? ** Edited by YBYSAIAHokie at 3/31/2025, 5:15:10 PM

Makes sense
You are either moving up in the portal or moving down or your coach is moving on or you think it is greener on the other side or your coach thinks it’s greener on the other side. It's kind of like being on a dating website. Sometimes you get dumped sometimes you run like heck. This is why I am happily divorced and no more dating websites for me. What a mess! ** Edited by OrlandoHokie at 3/31/2025, 4:39:59 PM ** Edited by OrlandoHokie at 3/31/2025, 4:43:14 PM

Rice and Camden pretty understandable. I guess Collins wants to start.

Maybe Vandy found they overpaid and said goodbye.

So how's that progress towards a degree going for these kids?Just curious
what kind of degree they end up with, is there like a General Studies degree (which would be useless) that all universities share?

Wonder when NCAA (or a new organization) will ditch the academics
You've already got entire teams that are 100% online-only classes. Partially because going to a real class would "interfere" with the practice, games, training, video, etc. If an athlete dares to take a real class, it shows they're not fully committed to the team & coach. Or maybe you'll get a situation where every athlete is on-track for a "Sports Management" degree. Instead of playing 3-4 years to get a high school letter-jacket, you just play 3-4 years to get a Sports degree from LSU.

Degree? Replace student with professional. They are now officially
Professional Athletes instead of student athletes. Its always sort of been true. Not anymore.
