Topic: Cam Crawford Portal

[FilmJunky]

Cam Crawford has entered the portal.

Pete Moe has portaled.

How many more departures are we expecting between portal and grad ? Moe, Crawford, Voyles, Curfman, Marko, Goran? Potentially AOK and Nate Martin ?

McKey always seemed pretty tight with Crawford, and he rarely saw the floor. I would be shocked if he stays.

[MUfan08]

Thought Crawford was the most talented and athletic player on last years team, but it seemed he was given zero direction from the coaches, he just wanted to play ISO ball on offense and hero ball on defense and lose him man or get a dumb foul.

Sure he liked getting called out by Danny during post games and when the media would as about him.

Very erratic player.  Not fundamentally efficient.  Easily replaced with a good HC

Erratic, sure, but the only player on the team besides Voyles that could get his shot whenever the "offense" broke down.  Lots of potential, but I don't blame him for leaving the way that he was yo-yo'd in and out of the lineup.

Exactly. Simply put, the kids that want to improve and win will leave. The ones that are comfortable with all things will stay.

Or, if they are happy at Marshall w/ a girlfriend, etc. and don't care that much

And like losing and getting thrown under the bus by their coach

LOL

Do you really want anyone who is willingly to stay?  That?s where we are with men?s basketball.

I hope Obinna and Martin stay, and build around them.  That's a pretty good base, but you win at the SunBelt level of conference with guards not bigs.

Well when you are giving scholarships to Pruett, have to realize this staff is not committed to winning.

Sure he is a good kid, but zero reason he should be put on scholarship at this point in his career.

All the D2 and NAIA players better start lining up at the door to get that scholly from Dan.

[Tim Hensley]

Don't know that Pete was on scholly or not.  Originally, he was going to stay with me until he became eligible. Really good kid; great parents.  If so, that makes three slots that we now have to give.

[MicDrass1]

These guys going in portal better off going D2.  Not avg D1 players.  The whole team needs to hit the portal.  They all are in over their heads.  Keep Martin and Obinna.  Rest should go.

If we end up with less than five players on the team, do we still have to pay DD and call him  the coach of the team?

Yes

[herd2win]

We are going to have a horrendous team next year.  Crawford was at least athletic.  Danny wastes so many scholarships on guys that are not D1 as is proven by the facts no one else offered. 

I believe we will have a very heavy induced home soft OOC schedule that is designed to get us to a winning season.  We will not be competitive in the conference.

[Herdiowa]

I?m guessing there will be more.  Maybe this will motivate Dan to retire

Doubt it, he will use it as losing a player to the portal even if he was in Dan's doghouse haha.

Dan is not going to give up a $600,000 base salary  and having 2 years left by his own choice.

McKey is out too.  May have four scholarships to give.

[DC01HERD]

We need 9-13 new players anyway. Let's hope they all leave except OAK and Martin.

[MicDrass1]

A new HC would want as many scholarships open as possible

[Garbanjo]

DD will be the coach. We're porked.

DD is running a church league charity on Marshall's $$$

That's cute
