clarkwgriswold Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Simmons and Johnson can get buckets. I'm not a fan of Simmons as he just plain whines and b!tches too damn much on the court. I don't see Johnson playing on an up tempo Zips team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lose too much talent and are left with a coach who has not been able to adapt and make Toledo a good destination for transfers. Any good high school players he gets will eventually leave in the portal after they have developed into players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Seeing all these portal transfers make me sad for the MAC, and sad for the state of college basketball. Year ago Don Ohlmeyer famously said "The answer to all your questions is money." Sucks what greed and money do to just about everything good. For whatever inexplicable reason the planets aligned and the Zips got John Groce and Bud Wentz at the precise time we needed them, or we'd be in the same boat and everyone else. So grateful for those guys. But it all can come crashing down at any second, and we'll be like Buffalo and Toledo...losing our best players because they're chasing a couple quick bucks rather than getting a meaningful degree and making lifelong friendships with college teammates. The bulk of the portal transfers are pure basketball mercenaries majoring in eligibility. Kowalczyk spoke the truth...it'll be interesting to see where these guys end up in 20 years...with the $38,000 in NIL long gone, and no college degree to fall back on. For every decent MAC player that ascends to a P4 school with success, there are 15 who sit the P4 pines eagerly awaiting the season's end and the chance to transfer yet again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
