Just hopped into the portal. Last year, I was shocked to hear it, this year not so much.
 
Hopefully he finds the right school and
Conference level where he can have success best of luck to him!
 
Big ten basketball is a slug fest and rock fight every night there are better options
For him to be successful!
 
I heard a Jay Bilas soundbite where he says after this whole NCAA lawsuit is done with that the structure of the NCAA will move to minimum 2 year contracts for players so this portal thing isnt crazy stupid like it is now. And if player wants to break the contract they would have to pay the original school a release clause fee (either the player will pay this of the acquiring school will pay it). This is a step in the right direction.

So that means scholarships will go to 2 years.
And is it a sliding scale? Cooper Flagg surely gets more than Mikey Lewis

right. the ones who obviously that can afford to pay the release cause will do so. your aiden mahaney types will think twice about entering that portal if funds arent there.
 
You clearly don't know mick Cronin. If you can't guard you won't play. And Aiden can't score over elite athletes. Not a knock, but you he struck out twice already. This time gotta pick wisely
As a UCLA basketball fan, absolutely agree on Cronin. But they had such a lack of offensive production this past season, I can see Cronin considering it. It’s also easier to teach defense, offensively a guy either has it or he doesn’t (IMO). But Cronin likes tough man to man D. Aidan Will really have to apply himself to that if he chooses UCLA

You can teach where to be, but you can't teach the desire and toughness. Trent perry didn't get much run this year because of that. They had an odd group

Yes, it was an odd collection of talent. Mara entered the Portal already.
 
If Bibby and CSUS truly want to make a splash, they should be going hard after Aiden. Not saying they can land him, but should be attempting to, if they are trying to quickly turn their program into a competitive one.

He will be great there. Definitely his type of athletes
 
Isla Vista is worth a trip kiddman.

I ain't mad at it.. might as well enjoy So Cal and the women, weather and beaches your last year before the nba
 
Portal is now over 30 days.
I like what San Diego State has done in terms of landing impact players from the portal losing Boyd to Wisconsin and Miles Byrd likely entering NBA draft.

San Diego State appears to have done well when it comes to the transfer portal. In addition to the three graduating seniors, Jared Coleman-Jones, Wayne McKinney and Kimo Ferrari, the Aztecs were able to limit their portal entries to two scholarship players. Point guard Nick Boyd was the first Aztec to enter the transfer portal in the immediate days following the end of the season. Boyd was joined in the portal by forward Demarshay Johnson Jr., who will graduate in the coming weeks before moving on.
Head coach Brian Dutcher and staff were aggressive in the transfer portal, targeting needs while getting those players quickly on campus for a visit. The Aztecs have added three players from the portal and are likely done this cycle, acquiring two players with prior success against the Aztecs and another who returns home to Southern California. Forward Jeremiah Oden was the first to commit to San Diego State, choosing to play his sixth year with the Aztecs after stops at Wyoming, DePaul and Charlotte. Point guard Sean Newman Jr. was next. The nation’s third-leading assist man at Louisiana Tech last season, Newman Jr. played his high school basketball in California’s Southern Section and spent two seasons at Fullerton Junior College before heading to Louisiana.
Junior guard Latrell Davis comes to San Diego State after two seasons at San Jose State. A native of England, Lewis had 20-point games in both matchups against the Aztecs last season and made 10 three-pointers over two games, bringing much-needed shooting to the Mesa. The Aztecs also added a standout high school recruit in St. John Bosco guard Elzie Harrington, who will join Tae Simmons as the two freshmen on next season’s roster.

USC will be really good
UCLA adds 4 transfers adding size and speed.
 
Where did you guys see this about Aidan signing at UCSB? I haven't found anything...

Ok... On3 has it, but 247 Sports doesn't. Of course, I've been using 247.

Okay, I've heard many good things (and a few bad) about that campus and gym... Aidan, just don't get drunk and ride a bike at night...
 
It’s funny, I saw a post on different site stating SMC isn’t fond of UCSB. What is being revealed that SMC standout of Sweet Sixteen team is/has been representing young Maheney and the other SMC recommitted local stand out.

As with the National Championship,…the BCT is behind moves at SMC and beyond
 
No idea what that post said... Translate? Other than SMC not being friends of UCSB, I'm not following...

For example, what is BCT?
 
Of course, if you Google the answer you already know, you'll have no problem.

Well when everyone is talking about him transferring to ucsb, you could have googled it Aidan mahaney ucsb to see what the fuss was about it and it would have popped up for you

Kind of surprised you being a Campo guy and not know the ESPN moniker BCT aka Bennett Coaching Tree, must have missed that recent SF Chronicle article after the Chase Ctr NCAA Regionals….may I suggest start getting the local Lamarinda Weekly publication 🧐🧐🧐

But to clarify,…I don’t thinks SMC cares about UCSB, but the fact that a former SMC star of their SMC’s sweet sixteen team and now in the BCT practicing as an agent. If there was a dislike two of his clients (former recruits/players) would NOT be at UCSB

But to clarify my assessment:

i am even more confused now
 
Never noticed the transfers link on VerbalCommits... Is that new, like since the recent (and much improved) website redesign? Anyway, that's a great place, enabling me to check transfers and look at recruits in one place.

I'm not sure what being a Campo guy would have to do with an ESPN acronym, even though the Bennett boys and Aidan played at Campo.

And no, I never read newspapers online unless I happen to get a link sent my way... Those are usually behind paywalls anyway. And I can't remember the last time I picked up a paper-and-ink Chronicle...

So If am assessing lack of awareness to how the the Lamarinda community chit chat goes( when the claim is to be a part of the Campo Cougars fan base) & was interesting enough to be picked up by ESPN as moniker or relevant information detailed in the the biggest local paper,…is kind of poor IMHO,…but I guess possible when in living within bubble. I am just not sure where that bubble is, I know you review GIAG Message board on SMC & Maheney because both or all above is throughly discussed their with recipients.

But help me out,…are debating if information or terminology is available or if you have chosen to not acknowledge on so many levels and sites?

Either way,….i will leave you with that discussion to have with yourself🙏
