Huge surprise portal news today?
- Thread starter Scangg
- Start date
Yeah it could go either way . At first, I was disappointed he entered the portal and decided to leave. But I came around to the idea the guy had a good run here and it ran its course. Could be better for both parties to move on.
It would be interesting
Pike is just way too smart to leave this to chance. If in the unlikely event he did come back, it would only be after Pike gets the pulse of the team on it. If it did happen, I would trust Pikeās decision and be confident it took team chemistry into account.
Curiousā¦ are you a Rutgers fan first or a Gavin fan first?
I am going on Twitter at 930pm with some big news.
Now I need to sign up on Twitter
And make something juicy up

If I had to choose between the news being the return of Paul or the transfer of Hyatt, give me the return of Paul all day long and twice on game day!
The Paul thing seems crazy, but that really would be HUGE SURPRISE portal news, that's for sure. Of course, there isn't much time left in today.
Iām a fan of the players and coaches on the team and not the playrrd who screwed the team over
Yeah you could do that but in reality it doesnāt go down that way too often where something random likely this was completely made up.
Chol leaving wouldnāt qualify as huge news one way or the other.
Hyatt leaving wouldnāt even be on the spectrum of good news this late. It also wouldnāt be hugely surprising. If Miller and Dean are getting significant money to play for midmajors so could Hyatt. He didnāt really owe us any loyalty. Unlike Cam, Pike benched him. He didnāt start and RU wasnāt his original school.

If by this you mean if Paul said heād want to come back and before Pike said yes, he would survey the players, I think you are wrong.
It would be more likely the convo would be like this:
Paul says I made a mistake and UW is offering $250k but I want to come back. Is the $150k NIL still on the table and so Pike would need to check with a $$ person. I made up these numbers, but you get the idea.
Pike would not give up his authority on roster decisions to players.
So youāre not a Rutgers fan. Just want to make sure I understand.
Washington basketball has signed 5 basketball transfers this cycle and all 5 players were described in university press releases and their biographies were added promptly to the gohuskies.com website.
Same thing with Cam. UConn issued a press release announcing Cam's transfer and added Cam's bio to the team website.
However, Paul was neither mentioned in a Washington press release nor added to the website.
The report announcing Paul's move to Washington was written by a just-out-of-college kid working from his mom's house. The same kid produced the computer-generated image of Paul in a Washington uniform.
According to the Rutgers athletic department's website, Paul remains a Scarlet Knight. Then, who believes what the athletic department says or puts in writing? I don't. Scarletknights.com lists Cam, Paul, Jalen, Oskar, and Dean as Scarlet Knights basketball players today.

Lol you Paul fans are so weird. Let him throw a temper tantrum in the northwest.
This Paul coming back stuff is absolute nonsense. Not happening.
Iād prefer boring in the offseason at this point.If Paul somehow returned at this point I don't even know what to think
This off season has not been boring that's for sure
I for one would be thrilled if Paul ever returned to RU.
Maybe heās just gathering his family for an announcement or something.
I heard a song on the radio today. The DJ played it backwards and it said, "Paul is Back".
Could this be true?
Just kidding!
Hope so.

For those looking at school websites as a tell please check out RU's on Scarletknights.com for an accurate read on ours ... not!
The transfer portal is closed except for grad transfers. So if it were Chol heād be sitting out the entire season.
Thread title should have been tomorrow (or beyond) and not today. Today is now tomorrow
I was the first one to report Cam Spencer was entering the portal by a couple of minutes. And well before the recruiting sites in all due respect to them. And had a rapid reaction pod out and held a Spaces on Twitter with Ant Wright discussing the matter and adding context within the hour of the news breaking. And I broke the Paul news at the same time as everyone else did with a rapid reaction pod out first. Breaking news isnāt my actual goal as Iām not a reporter but am flattered you think I should be regularly. Appreciate you reading my stuff.
^^ thanks for all you do.
However - is this thread pointless or have you heard anything? You avoided the Q!

We're doing this again?
I thought after the "Mag is transferring- the sky is falling" insider reports and tweets, everyone realized to just wait for verified (or even official) reports.

Officially, according to the University of Washington sports department, Paul is not a Washington basketball player in 2023-2024. The #4 Huskies jersey Paul "wore" in an edited photo is already claimed by another player.
The University of Washington sports department is well-placed to know who is on their rosters and who isn't.
maybe paul could be captain next year at 2 schools
Thank you. I didnāt realize it was a question towards me but I wouldnāt sweat it.^^ thanks for all you do.

if Jesus wants him to do it, he can do it
The portal never closes as long as uncles and friends" do what's best for the kid": it's an illusion.

All this speculation is bullcrap.Twitter innuendo and soaking it up is a waste of time.
