Punch also averaged 6.8 rebounds, two assists and 1.9 blocks per game, earning All Big 12 Honorable Mention honors at the end of the season.

Somebody bought him,

 

[frogetaboutit]

Someone buys every transfer now.

 

[TopFrog]

Someone posted UTerus offered $3 mil. No idea if that has any validity.

 

[ShreveFrog]

If true, that is stupid money. Would rather pay a couple or 3 good players that much for some depth.

From what I understand it's exactly what it sounds like, notice to schools to not reach out.

Means one of two things, either A. the deal is already in place and all that is left is to announce the destination, this is the most likely scenario... or B. He and his team are focused on a program or a small group of contenders, and want to selectively reach out and negotiate without noise or distraction, and perhaps keep the option to return if the negotiations don't go the way they want. Unlikely, but one can hope right?

To me, star players don’t leave the team they’re on unless they know they’ve got more money elsewhere. Punch has moved on and so should we.

Thanks for instructing us all how to think.

Contract negotiations fall through all the time in life, including areas like this. I'll go ahead and hold a candle til something is announced. Nobody's hurt by that, and nobody's forcing you to.

 

[This Ain't Chopped Liver]

Have hope Punch might return; and criticizing his game now that he is in the portal is foolish.

Agree, a very strange instruction that nobody will listen to (per usual I guess).

I think 2 things: either it's a done deal with someone else (or it's close) or we're still in the game and CJD is trying to raise some funds. I hope we can close the deal. If not, good luck kid. Next person up?

Counteroffer opportunity is an interesting thought as to why it's taking a bit.

We can only hope. Hate to lose him. Great talent along with good leadership qualities.

Wow… Nobody’s hurt except you apparently haha. If he decides to come back, that’s fantastic! I would love to have him back. But 99% of the time these kids who enter the portal looking for more money elsewhere don’t come back. I would be absolutely ecstatic if he decided to do so though. This could be a special team next season.

It was a wig.

 

[West Coast Johnny]

I hate the Longhorns like eveyone else. David Punch worked his ass off for TCU for the time that we had him and I will always respect him.
