It’s your thread. You can always change the name to something like “2024 TRANSFER PORTAL IN.” You’re absolutely right |

wow, that's pretty interesting. its one thing to transfer to a higher profile program and hardly ever get off the bench. but to make it to the "final 4" while sitting the bench? i mean, i struggling to decide (for myself) whether its worth transferring under those circumstances. honestly, i dunno. at this level, "everybody" wants plenty of playing time. but heck, going to the "final 4" at the d1 level is a once in a lifetime opportunity. he ain't getting much run, but it might be worth very little playing time if your team makes it to the d1 "final 4"... |

This is nothing more than Gaither being Gaither. And I say that because any reputable journalist knows this is a non-story. And I know Gaither is better than that.

It wouldn’t be worth it at all if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s getting paid, despite playing or not playing. So the high major pull on kids is so much harder now. Kids will have 10+ mid/low major offers where they can actually play & be in proven good programs, and they’ll have one high major offer from a school that’s usually at the bottom of the Power 5/6, and still go because the difference in the money. |

That's something he would have to earn in practice. No coach will issue that type of assurance to a player with limited playing time off the bench especially with a strong recruiting class. Sometimes you make your bed you have to lay in it or buy another one. |

For me I would have never left A&T, to go from being a starter or playing significant minutes to riding the bench. But it's a possibility that Ross was not clear with Woods about his expectations for him coming in as a new coach or Ross was clear, Because it was no guarantee that Woods would have been a starter with the two guards that Ross bought in. Woods would have to compete for the job and could have ended up being the second , third Off the Bench option but he would have gotten minutes. But one thing for sure if North Carolina state is to win the national championship he will have a ring and that is something no one can take from him whether he played or not in the game he was on that team that won the title. You never know what next year will bring to him if he decides to stay at state. From talking to some friends of mine that are State fanatic fans. The word is the coaches like Woods so he may see more time next season or possibly in the final four. But he has to be ready. Personally I don't think transferring again is a good option for Woods, he needs to stay and ride it out and improve his game. The rest will take care of itself. |

Did you see Duncan Powell is back in the portal . 6’8, 240. Averaged 13 & 7 on 50% shooting. I think a bigger program will be calling his # & wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Eric Musselman depending on if he gets the SoCal job, considering Duncan was his 1st commit at Arkansas. But then again, it could’ve been a messy break up for him to decommit in the first place so idk |
