Ok, So Bugg from what i understand wanted to stay but was looking for a bit of some sort've guarantee for playing time, and coaches wouldn't give it. Assuming they plan on Getting a few guards from portal. Lincoln is a bigger, buffer more vertical athlete and more prepared to start day one. again, i thought he has potential for sure, but unfortunately it's about winning now. Slight of frame. Big 12 is big boy basketball. I hate losing freshmen. Sometimes i wonder if it economically makes more sense to pay a bit of a cheaper amount of top 50ish type guys if you can get them, instead of the portal, but it's so difficult. This sport is in a ridiculous position. Bidunga from KU is asking for 5 mil. Alas, we got Robinson back. We get Punch back and it's game on. ESPN Has us top 16 next year. That's nuts. Bugg will be good, but in today's game no patience. Hope he does well.

The portal is destroying the old way of recruiting out of high school, teaching them along the way, and watching them contribute in a year or two. It's a win now, pay now, and play now mentality.

So with the new executive order, is this Bugg’s one and only chance to transfer? Or does that only apply to football?

That EO will have no practical effect without a lot of atypical political wrangling (i.e. punishing the NCAA on broadcasts via the FCC or something).

Look live in Texas but working in Michigan and listen to their sports radio. They have admitted they got deep pockets, hey SEC yall can’t compete. They know Michigan was a team of horses guns, they played the game and won a Natty. My early money is on another Big 10 team probably Michigan to win next year. TCU doesn’t have the depth $$$$$$$$ to compete.

All I know is we had Michigan on the ropes and almost beat them. We were ahead of Duke in the round of 32 before the refs took over, we got cold and Duke ran away from us. If we can bring back Punch and sign another guard, then we have a chance to make a run next year.

The bigger question is how much money will a Big 10 or SEC offer Punch to try and lure him away from Fort Worth. A 2026 lineup that features Harding, Micah, Punch, X and Diallo with Toolson, the new JUCO guard, and the two new big guys coming can match up with anyone.

The transfer portal is really making me rethink whether or not I really like college sports anymore. I don’t understand how the people in charge can look at the thousands of players that enter the portal every year, and think “yeah this was a great idea”.
