We want players that wild horses couldn't drag away.

It is obvious that RJ thought Nelson put him, “under my thumb”

...and there's coaches like Rick Pitino that clearly have implied to recruits that there's Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet them.

Truth be told, lately while following this program I'm hearing Jim Morrison singing "This is the end, my only friend, the end".

The players aren't letting the Doors hit them in the backside as they head for the exits.

This transfer portal is going to be the death of college hoops as we know it...College hoops is looking more and more like a summer league, players moving all over the place, and the top teams only get better.... sad

I think I have one more coaching change in me. If that coach can’t turn it around (meaning winning and having kids stick around), I may have to give up and start following another sport.

What an absolute slap in the face this would be if Langel took him from Nelson. I think it's dishonorable for one PL school to poach players from another. I've lost all respect for Langel. Somewhere along the way karma might come into play.

I agree, but I do not exonerate RJ

If PL Schools start taking players from each other, we could quickly find ourselves in deep doo-doo. This seems contrary to the spirit of the PL.

If a kid says I want to leave PL school A by entering his or her name in the portal, I have no problem with the student-athlete going to another league school. I would take the 7' center from Lafayette in a heartbeat if he made it clear first he wanted to leave Lafayette.

How else would Langel know that we was contemplating a transfer? Spies in the locker room?

Many schools have AAU or local connections who entice players to enter the portal to then transfer to their schools Grandison had these type of approaches before he put his name in the portal.

There is rarely evidence in these situations, you should know that Do you think that Grandison, Luc, etc were not pursued before they put their names in ?

I know nothing about twitter, but didn't someone post that the Stanford lead recruiter started "following" Luc before he was actually in the portal?

There was something in another thread about a coach who was no longer doing post games handshakes with the other team because there was whispering in the ears of his players saying "hey, transfer here and play with us"

I guess we're in an anything goes kind of world now, but to me pursuing players in the same conference in kind of like pressing your opponent when you're up 40 with 2 minutes left. Just doesn't sit that well with me, but I don't make the rules.
Doesn't really happen much, though, does it? Any recent examples?

If a kid wants to stay in an academic first league this will become more common in the PL and IL unless the NCAA starts to regulate the portal better.
