The 2026 Transfer Portal

I’d usually agree with you but I don’t think continuity is what it once was. Everyone was slobbering over at very mid GW team returning the bulk of their production going into this year and they ended up being insanely mid yet again. If the players aren’t good enough a summer generally won’t change that.
Our coach is infinity times better than that bald goober

GW is about to lose their entire roster (yes you read that right) to graduation and the transfer portal despite paying out a ridiculous amount of NIL money for a team that finished in the NIT and managed to lose in the last minute SEVEN times last season because of awful coaching. Chris Caputo is well on his way to never getting a Division I head coaching job ever again after this upcoming season where they inevitably go 12-20.

It def sucks to lose our top 6 scorers this off season. The only redeeming factor I can think of is Tony being able to build patriot pressure back in Fairfax. I think he went offensive this season and it got us some fun wins but the defense sucked. TS pretty much abandoned any defensive pressure and it sucked watching dudes go off on us every game, a walk on PG cooking us and absolutely no rim protection. I've never seen so make sport center dunks on us in a season. Hopefully Mason can give TS enough NIL for that.

Top 6 scorers? Is Hill transferring too?

What ridiculous amount are you talking about??

2-3 million is peanuts compared compared to vcu, Dayton and St Louis. They were really successful on a shoe string budget.

It was known gw spent significant money on their roster this past season. Like 4 or 5m

Are we going to do the same depression discussion every April guys?? Like players are going to come and go, that’s what it is now.

Don’t know what happened with Jahari. Thought he was coming back. Things change. But I’m a bit confused by this one to say the least.

Terrance hill from vcu is hitting the portal. See they lose guys too (and don’t hit me with that “well they will get some other stud), lol.
Until something changes or I quit watching altogether…probably

Walk-On
Why do you think he’ll be terrific? Honest question

Stas had the highest +/- on the team for conference games.
He's 6'10 and moves well. He was able to switch on perimeter on defense and guards struggled scoring over him.
He sets solid screens, moves the ball well and can hit 3s on offense.
He played well with Kanga and complimented him well.
Big men take longer to develop. He looked much improved from his freshman year and I would like to see him in the system for 2 more years.

Yes, he needs to get stronger and tougher. Rebounding and post defense are areas where he really needs to improve.
Lion did a really great job covering most of my rationale here, but there's one other thing.

To my untrained eye, Stas seems to always be in the right place at the right time (he's got the mental part of the game down), but hasn't always had the strength to execute what was needed. He wouldn't be the first guy to need an extra year of strengthening to really compete at this level.

I don't think it's out of the question that he improves his strength a bit, and ends up around 10 points (1-2 threes per game, a layup on a back cut, a put-back and one, 3-5 from the free throw line), 6 boards, 2 assists and 2 stocks. As the 5th or 6th option on a team, that works for me.
