Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostIt's interesting the number of players continuing to enter the portal on a daily basis. Many of these players' teams played their last game 6-7 weeks ago.
I suppose in some instances said team signed a new transfer and the snowball effect is the returning player sees the writing on the wall (i.e. one comes in and one goes out). Many players get 'cut' or have their scholarship pulled (i.e. Lombardi cleaning house). I'd just have to assume the top wave of players enter immediately (or very close) after their last game of the season.
Demetrius Mims from Gannon is a perfect example. Gannon's season ended at the end of February. He just went in this week (a couple weeks after his coach was canned and a couple days before GU named its new coach). Odd timing. Add to it all his teammates went in weeks ago. His phone is likely blowing up regardless.
I've also noticed far fewer basketball players flaunt offers on social media compared to football players -- especially at the D2 level. For instance, I know of at least 5 transfer players who have visited IUP in the past three weeks. Surely at least 3 of them got actual offers while here. Yet, not one has made a single comment on social media. I almost wonder if the offer comes with a non-disclosure of sorts.

While I'm sure it happens from time to time, I don't think many DII transfers would flaunt an offer from another DII and certainly a D1 "stepping down" to a DII would not be terribly interested in making a big public announcement on Social Media.

Either VC is a little behind or it took a long time for Mims to get cleared to transfer because his departure plan was known in mid-March.
They do a good job. There's just so many it's hard to get them all.

They should be. More than half of these jackasses in the portal aren't going to find a new home and will be done with basketball.

We have a love for DII that most players, even those already at a DII, don't have. Very few HS players have a burning desire in their soul to play at a DII. Sure there may be some legacy players OR players who grew up in the college town that might have such a desire, but those are rare. HS players that play DII are here because a D1 didn't offer them.

considering it is going to be a brand new team this season, I could see him getting a player or 2 to transfer from Nova (especially if he directly recruited them)... however, i think that is a very, very, very slim chance. But with a brand new team, promises of a team being built around/for you - that idea could sway a kid regardless of their situation.
