2023 Transfer Portal Thread

[The Great PATSby]

Welp, Jordan Marsh reopened his recruiting and not coming to Mason. That leaves us down to 5 players on scholarship.

 

[GMU1983]

Can we hit the portal please!!

 

[GMU79]

This silence is really bothering me. Just hoping we land a big fish or two and not just some okay guys that will maybe keep us out of the PIG.

Marsh opening up his recruiting was not entirely one sided.

At least two signees (that I know of) will be announced next week and I’m pretty sure everyone will be thrilled.

 

[Where's the party?]

I was actually having a hard time understanding why Marsh hadn't de-committed already. With Polite returning and Dinkins apparently staying, wouldn't Marsh be our third PG? Assuming Polite will hold the position this season, and Dinkins stays the heir apparent, Marsh would've had a tough slog with a coach that hadn't recruited him. That said, my feelings won't be hurt if we pull in a stud PG off the portal.

 

[GreenLantern]

I gotta use the portal soon if we don't hear something soon

Anyone who kept ears to the ground are not surprised by today's news regarding Marsh.

Excitement is coming.

Yeah, I like RP, but we could use an upgrade.

I know it’s hard to be patient but we are going to have to be. Do other schools have full rosters yet? Many don’t.

Stay tuned. Plenty of visitors and offers and things.

Anyone who got a chance to talk to any of the new assistants are not surprised by today's news regarding Marsh.

Excitement is coming.

Ok, I'm officially tantalized and feeling very not "in the know". And when do the assistant coaches get officially recognized (not just somebody's twitter)?

There will be no RP slander moving forward. He’s a loyal Patriot that stuck with the program through 2 coaching changes. He made huge strides last year and hopefully builds off of that.

I crunched the numbers and this is his last 10 games:

13.4 ppg on 38.7% 3-point shooting, 88% FT shooting, 5 apg, 3.4 rpg

If he averages those kinds of numbers next year I think we’ll all be incredibly happy he stuck around.

 

[GSII]

Will be exciting to see him also play in style the creates steals.

I have been wondering the same thing about the assistant coaches. Not sure what the hold up is

Welp, from the reactions to my post, looks like I goofed. But I'm curious...Where's the Party said he wouldn't be hurt if we signed a stud pg, and he got likes. Why is my post different? I said I liked RP, and I honor him staying.
Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Get up out the portal...we need some exciting OT wins.

Just as with xfer players, there are a ton of assistants to choose from and I would think a good strategy would be to talk to a lot of assistants (both already known and who want to apply) and to see what players they can deliver immediately.

I would be looking for package deals if possible.

While I fear regretting responding to this, i'll give it a try. Since I didn't react to either post, I am a little of a neutral party here ;-). I think it is a little bit reading the room (people mostly looking forward and thankful for those that are actually committed to staying). I think it is also a little bit that you have have had a recent track record of being a little down on the program. Finally, WTP's post was in no way derogatory toward Ronnie. He assumed RP would be the starter and that the recruit would have a hard time breaking into the line up. Those are indirect compliments to RP. His note about not having his feelings hurt if a stud PG comes in isn't an insult to RP (who wouldn't want a stud at any position). Saying that "we could use an upgrade" sounds a little more like an insult whether it was intended that way or not.

I hope that helps.
