Not surprising. They’ll be looking to upgrade the PG spot this year. He flashed at times but was not a consistent threat. I think Isaak won’t be far behind either.
Assuming they thought he was going to be Kai 2.0?For the amount of NIL money that Kepley was allegedly receiving, they can upgrade that spot pretty much instantly if they find the right player.
Ya I think they completely missed on their evaluation of him. Probably thought WWU would turn into a feeder program for them. I agree though. We can find somebody much better than him.For the amount of NIL money that Kepley was allegedly receiving, they can upgrade that spot pretty much instantly if they find the right player.
It’ll be interesting to see how many kids commit to a new school on the first day of the portal window.Players with agents aren't about to find out what they will get offered when the transfer portal opens on Tuesday.
Players with agents already have a pretty good idea what they will get offered when the transfer portal opens on Tuesday.
Thats rediculous. On average, 3/5 of every team will transfer out. It should really say something about a program and a coach if they can keep 50-60% of their non-graduating players.The estimate is that 60-70 percent of D1 Men’s players will enter the portal. Last year, it was 61 percent.
Mid February is now considered judgment day. Valentine’s Day. That’s when the vast majority of players start Angling with “agents”.

I understand the logistics of it all. Im just saying the turnover ratio is crazy and Montana is usually in the under on that which should say something about our culture.not every player hits the portal by choice. I believe Grant wasn’t offered a spot to come back and had to hit the portal. These players have year to year flexibility to go do whatever they want, and so do the coach’s now.
This past year was first year players could get paid, Welcome to the life of a mid major, if you don’t have the funds/revenue to pay players roster turnover could be an issue every year. If you have money, players still leave.I understand the logistics of it all.

Yup exactly. With new revenue sharing model + third party NIL, if you are in the top 5-8 of the rotation on a basketball team, you are expected to produce based on what the school expects your return on investment to be. And if you don't, you can expect to be asked to take less or move on.This past year was first year players could get paid, Welcome to the life of a mid major, if you don’t have the funds/revenue to pay players roster turnover could be an issue every year.

So far, Boise State lost 5 players, Montana 4, Washington State 7, Idaho 4 to name a few.
Atleast for football this is not the case. The vast majority that enter the portal in college football are clueless about the compensation they could receive in NIL. Lots of players retire themselves by entering the portal simply because they don’t get any offers to transfer.Players with agents aren't about to find out what they will get offered when the transfer portal opens on Tuesday.

Wazzu is a mess. Not sure why they retained Riley.This past year was first year players could get paid, Welcome to the life of a mid major, if you don’t have the funds/revenue to pay players roster turnover could be an issue every year. If you have money, players still leave.

No one has announced they are leaving Arizona yet but I suspect 2 of their freshman are going to be lottery picks in June. High major basketball programs seem to be better off in the new era.This past year was first year players could get paid, Welcome to the life of a mid major, if you don’t have the funds/revenue to pay players roster turnover could be an issue every year.

WSU athletics is broke, they had to borrow 20 million dollars from the University for 2026-2027. According to folks that follow the school/program, they can't afford to fire him and pay his buyout.Wazzu is a mess. Not sure why they retained Riley.
Maybe, but any person could argue he will do more than $2.7m worth of damage over the remainder of his contract. It would have been perfect timing with the new PAC happening just like they did with football.WSU athletics is broke, they had to borrow 20 million dollars from the University for 2026-2027.

Ya, Colter has been talking about this for a week or two now.No one has announced they are leaving Arizona yet but I suspect 2 of their freshman are going to be lottery picks in June. High major basketball programs seem to be better off in the new era.
