re: MBB Offseason '25 Transfer Portal Tracker

Ok so you are doubting the coach. That’s fine. But this is about discussing the transfer portal. It is not about the coach. I asked why people dislike our transfers. I watched about 45 mins worth of youtube last night and I really like these pieces. I ask why we don’t like them…
Because we think the coach sucks. Ok, but that is a completely different argument
Our recruiting/portal has been good under MM bar the first year.
The players we get are good... they just come here and play like shite because MM is a shite coach.

I’m talking top 10 portal class though at least. A 7-8 SEC win team would be depressing in year 4
FWIW on3 had us as the #12 transfer portal class and we went 3-15 in the SEC.
Let’s also not forget that as far as total recruiting goes we were #13 nationally and #4 SEC. I know most on here don’t watch press conferences, but year 2 offseason going into year 3, McMahon harped nonstop on how strong this recruiting class was.
Yet, when we start sucking, a narrative comes out that we had low NIL numbers and can’t compete with other teams in the SEC. It makes no sense. There is a disconnect somewhere. I think the NIL narrative is bullshite and I think anyone who closely follows MBB will tell you as much.

No one thought it was BS, we just don’t trust McM to spend it wisely or to actually coach the players we buy.
It was more so those of us who are knowledgeable on MBB recognizing that the lack of NIL was not a problem.
Recruiting in general has not been the problem. We’ve been near the top of the SEC and out recruiting many schools that made deep runs in the tournament.
I think we just don’t see how more NIL is the solution when recruiting has been the only good thing under MM.

If we can accumulate enough talent, they can overcome that which otherwise holds them back….
We had a talented team this past year. We were not the 15th most talented team in the SEC.

Let’s keep this in mind and keep this same energy when we as a fan base start melting and arguing next season.
Keep this as a reminder for when people say our players suck because they are “mid major talent”.

Can’t wait until we suck and it’s halfway through the season and people complain about no talent and no NIL

The role she had on the team did not suit her whatsoever

Expected but wish we could’ve kept him. He struggled at times but you could see the potential. I think out of all the freshman he clearly has the highest upside.
If he stayed committed to Oregon he’d be a lottery pick. This is a horrible loss for the program

So you and the five others at TJ Ribs for his coach show. Did they comp your meal for going?
Not defending him, but there were definitely a lot more than 5 people there. I also spoke to him at other events like the Pete statue unveiling (that I doubt anyone else on this board went to) and after the NIT game.
Funnily enough, when I was a student when WW was here I DID in fact get a free meal.

It's the truth. He's very friendly and open to talking to fans if you know what events to go to.

As bad of coach you think he is.
Me, the majority of our fanbase, members of the media, members of OUR athletic department, other teams' fans, coaches, players, etc.

He knows more basketball than you ever will.
FWIW, after multiple conversations with him, he told me and my friends that we know ball.
It's also his job to do so, a job he's sucked at to this point.

But if hes given a NIL war chest for next l year and doesn’t think Chest is worth it. I’m good with it because this team is lacking a whole lot. Whatever needs to be replaced or addressed he’s going to do it.
Chest left because we suck, not because MM is replacing him. Don't get it twisted.

Nah dude lacks offense and can’t shoot. Our biggest problem.
His defense and rebounding single handedly won us multiple games this year. He is a glue guy and a player with the best motor I've ever seen in person.
It's not his fault that McMahon doesn't know how to properly use him. He also had a redshirt year and didn't develop a jumpshot... that's also on coaching and McMahon's "player development program".
If you cannot see what Corey provides to a team, you do not understand basketball at a deep enough level beyond stat watching and looking at the player with the ball.

For sure. He's the type of player that deserves to be playing for a good team. Any program would be lucky to have a guy with his motor.

HUGE loss for the program. Losing a Louisiana native and a player that played as hard as him always stings. Best of luck to him, he deserved better. Likely the first of many.
