Long Beach State Athletics!: Re: Don't read too much into these xfers

Poly already has a coach

These guys are aiming for NIL

Peopme need to realize they likely were declaring any way, AT may go pro.

The fans that wring their hands like Monson wluld keep it together are naieve.

and they still could come back

Or go to SDSU lol

Just sucks MBB doesnt even have a 50k NIL yearly fund, and that s cause Monson killed the
Program until he worked for free. They coukd get lots of contributions if the BWCT motivatil had been there

Agree 100% on AT. There might be a small percent with some concern about his shot, but there’s 20X more that would probably say “I’ve got a gym full of guys who JUST want to shoot, I’ll take my chances with him on my team”. Arizona’s one of the most talented teams in the country, it would be hard to watch that game and say AT wasn’t the most athletically gifted guy on the court. In fact, that wouldn’t be a shocker destination. As a 2 year guy I think AJ has some value, maybe more as a MWC guy versus a bigger school, and he’s from Fresno who could use players. I’m voting for LT as the most likely to play 2 (or 3) games against LB next year, especially if Scholl ends up at another school in the BW.

there really is no rush to get into the portal

I do think Ackers should consider some of the assistants, Scholl & Carey did recruit.

AT has tremendous NIL potential. The guy can guard 4 positions.

people need to get off Smitheran's decision. last year aside from USC and MIchigan was an abo####e horrific regular season, puncutuated by loss after loss to every single rival on our home court.

lot's of 2nd guessing in the media is one thing.

jeez, that there was never any NIL developed during MOnson's tenure falls heavily on MOnson's lousy PR work. we all saw PR goes one way with MOnson....for Monson. Smitheran did in fact light the fire that ignited the run, not poor old destitute Monson.

fans with any sense will realize just how bad Monson left the state of the program. Attendance in the toilet. subpar year after subpar year. so really Smitheran was really suppossed to wait one more week? because Monson deserved that after getting pummelled at home repeatedly and losing every single game that the team had a chance to get a 2 seed. just smh at some people.

give it a rest about what these players know or don't know about Acker. they don't, they are 20-21 year olds, impressionable, great kids, but jeez, these barely post-teens. they likely have quasi-agents in their ear. that's basketball now.

AJ, A. Traore, and L. Traore in the portal so far. Will Jadon be next? The timing isn't a coincidence. Either they were waiting to see if Scholl was going to be head coach, didn't like what they were hearing from or about Acker, or just wanted to get away from Smitheran. What's done is done. Acker and company better hit the transfer portal hard and quickly. I don't think any fans want to see a transition year from the new regime.
