2024 Transfer Portal news

[Da Coach]

The portal is essentially functioning as the agent for most of the players who enter, while preserving their college eligibility. Under the NCAA rules regarding professionalism, they cannot actually hire a true agent, the kind that arranges professional playing deals, or they will lose their ability to play any more college ball.
There is such a thing as an NIL agent that they can associate with, who helps them find NIL opportunities and takes a percentage as a fee. But NIL agents can't represent the player in arranging professional playing opportunities.

I have a general question about the portal.Players that enter do they already have an agent or do they just represent themselves?

Wake Forest has freed up a lot of scholarships. I think he ends up in the ACC, probably at WF since he's from NC.

he is valuable because of his offense, but his defense is suspect

They will hide him on D, and use him as a spot up. Like Goode on IL

He's the perfect P5 shooter.

Belmont signs a player from the portal-- Brody Peebles, a 6'2" junior shooting guard from Liberty University. He has one season of eligibility left. He averaged 10.7 ppg nearly all in a reserve role. He shot 33.6% from three in 2023-24, but his 3-year career 3-point percentage is 37.6%.

I remember several years ago they asked Homer Drew what he had to do to get his son, Bryce, to sign with Valpo. He said he had to pay his car insurance and sleep with his Mom...lol

Haha.... I never heard that before. Wouldn't those be NCAA recruiting violations?

Wisconsin's AJ Storr hits the Portal...
He was 2nd Team All Big Ten but many view him as one of the top NBA prospects in the Big Ten,
and he also has declared for the Draft but keep open his options to return to college ball. (he is only 20 y/o)
He is currently projected as a mid to late 2nd rounder but also rumored to be interested in playing for the Illini,
who he was once committed to when he was still in high school in Kankakee, IL & Las Vegas.

He committed to the Illini out of HS. Then decommitted and went to St. John's. When he transferred last year the Illini allegedly inquired into him, but I am sure TSJ coming back killed that because they are so similar.
