Transfer portal

Question about the Transfer Portal for Da Coach of anyone else...Is there a date limit for which they have to make a commitment to the portal by?. If they commit to the portal then find out later that they will not get as much as what they thought can they come back to the school they are leaving?

There is no deadline by which they have to commit. However, if they get no offers, they could be out of luck. Once they place their name in the portal, their school does not have to take them back. The former school can choose to do so, but it is entirely their former coach's choice. That former coach is free to use that scholarship for someone else as soon as the player enters the portal.

Specific to Bradley, Coach Wardle has publicly stated that once of his players enters the portal, there is no turning back.

I can definitely see that being a stance Wardle would have. I can't see him taking someone back in that decided to test the waters. He values loyalty and commitment to the program, himself, and what he is trying to accomplish.

I understand the sentiment Brian feels there, but every circumstance is so different. Are you telling me if Rienk has second thoughts and comes back he would say no? Rienk is not a guy who came for a year and left. He stayed four years, graduated, and is exploring his options.

Also, I'm glad Malevy is coming back. I don't fault any of these players for using the current system to their advantage, but I would have faulted him for making a big announcement he is coming back and then changing his mind. Especially given the publicity and positive attention he got for making such an announcement, which he didn't have to make. As long as Hick, Zek, Leons, and Jonovic/Hannah come back I really think our floor is pretty good. Still have some big needs including point guard, shooters, and an athletic big that can bang down low. But we should be at least competitive with that core coming back.

We have two open scholarships now with Rienk and Ville leaving, and I have to imagine we will have at least one or two more. That would be enough to get those three needs I mentioned (probably need 3-4 players to fill those needs).
 
What is the difference between players entertaining portal possibilities and Wardle entertaining coaching offers from a “loyalty” standpoint?
 
One more MVC player...
Liam McChesney of Illinois State is transferring.
He turned into a decent player for ISU this season. He played 20 mpg, and averaged 6.5 ppg and 3.2 rpg, and shot 34.4% from three.
