Just wondering does this make the team younger or older? Unless and until Pope actually transfers, it does not change anything one iota. Have there been instances where players entered the portal, but didn’t leave? I know people portal and then don’t get picked up eg Chance Nolan.

Pope and Ibekwe are still at Oregon State. May Day is the deadline to transfer out for real. Pope was told some amount of money in the portal, but we will see if that actually materializes. I do not know what is going on with Ibekwe. I believe May day is the deadline to ENTER the Portal. Once in, you're in, and you are free to look elsewhere and do the actual transfer whenever you find a place.

I know people portal and then don’t get picked up eg Chance Nolan. Approximately 6% of men's basketball players who enter the portal play on their old team the following year. Andrej Jakimovski entered the transfer portal a couple of years ago and did not transfer from Wazzu.

It was not the situation that you are describing.

I would say that the majority of the players transferring are transferring for better or more opportunity. I think that Ibekwe and Pope are money or fit situations. If somebody wants to pay more for them or if they can find a better fit, they are likely gone. I would say that Ibekwe and Pope are less likely to leave than the average player in the portal. Having said that, I am not loving the fact that they announced one day apart. That makes me think that something is up. If Pope leaves, maybe one of the other guys in the portal sticks around.

No way Ibekwe is getting a big NIL deal.

Another BS statement. Exactly why I don't give money to NIL, but to facility and program enhancement. Not going to be a sucker and pay for some kid to bail at the drop of a hat. The athlete says we did all these great things, loves (your city here), loves the fan base, will always be a (insert nickname here), takes NIL money from the fanbase, and then just leaves. Fine if you don't agree. It's just my opinion. And my money. And we're fools if we are paying his spring term scholarship. You portal, no more money.

I believe that that means that this term has already been paid for. I am not sure that that is true for the guys who entered the portal earlier.
