Once paying atheletes starts, college sports will become just tlike the NBA without any salary cap. It will be like Lebron assembling a team in Miami or LA.

Not that anyone wants to hear it but this is what Nick Saban warned everyone about. This was supposed to help parity. This is just going to be used by the powerful to become more powerful. Alabama Football already pulled one of Ohio State’s best WRs and Tennessee’s best LB.

Yeah, if this was the intent of allowing the frictionless transfers (parity) then whoever is making that argument is stupid. Of course Alabama (and Kentucky in bball) will just use the program to exchange those 5 stars that don’t live up to the hype for 4 stars who were better than advertised. This will kill non-P5 teams (in football).

Kentucky Basketball will not. The shine has left that turd.

Something I’ve noticed is that BYU is on every one of these tweets. Are they short handed too? Do they mainly run on transfers now? Or are they just filling in the end of the bench?

haha I was just thinking the same thing today. It seems like BYU has talked to evey recruit in the country!!

They are just doing the Lord’s calling.

Not holding my breath on this one.

Me neither, but out of his final schools, Utah is by far the best option.

Agreed, but Utah got in late plus all the chatter from the usual places is saying DePaul. Hope they’re wrong this time.

I don’t think he fits utahs needs. Utah needs bigs not guards.

Mm I’d argue we need a point guard now with Rylan leaving. IMO we need two solid, true PG’s and as of now we have a bunch of combo/shooting guards plus Worster the guy who played PG as a frosh at USU.

There is some Mitchell to Utah buzz. I hope we find out soon!

Posted on twitter. This made me laugh:

FGCU transferJalen Warren committed to UIC, per his twitter. BYU was in the final two but they’ve prioritized other guys (Te’Jon Lucas, Both Gach) and Warren took the for sure scholarship

[Wingnut]

Milwaukee transfer Te’Jon Lucas will announce his decision today. My guess is it will not be BYU or Utah

Whatever you guys may think of Pope, he’s a tough adversary. I predicted he’d be the end of Krystkowiak when BYU hired him. LA will remember this because on UB5 they wanted to kill the messenger.–The Oracle.

[justaute]

Utes fans: We didn’t want Lucas, anyway.

p.s. how many combo guards do we need/want?

[NewbombTurk]

@SeattleUte

Yep. I thought the same. And the fact that he played at Kentucky means he is steeped in questionable tactics. We’ve already seen that in play with Lohner.
