Bummer if true…
yes on 24/7 transfer portal
Yes. Seems like he believed he was recruuted over.
Take care of your Chicken
Will be a total bummer if we lose TT but it makes sense to at least put his name in the portal since today is the deadline if he felt like his position on the team today isn't where it stood during pre-portal commitment period.
And he can always return if he doesn't find a spot to his liking.
But I think he'll need to drop down to a mid major if he's looking for guaranteed starter mins since his counting stats and inconsistent shooting means we are probably his best shot at playing significant P4 mins next year.
And he can always return if he doesn't find a spot to his liking.

I didn't say anything before, but when we brought in Jordan Ross I looked at his stats and film and was a bit puzzled thinking "seems like TT Carr, just a little bigger, stronger and more experienced." Not enough shooting from either to start them in the same backcourt.

Once a player enters the portal, his most recent team can let him come back, or not. Their choice. That said, I'd imagine that Madsen would let TT return, unless he had already recruited someone else for the position or he ran out of schollies.

Soooo, here's a fun portal question: If a player making $200k enters the portal (thinking he can do better), but doesn't get a better offer and returns to original school...
Does the original school need to honor the $200k or is that alos forfeit?
Discuss....

If the $200k is binding, I am confident it's forfeited when he enters the portal (if he even can). If it's just an offer, it would be up to the school to renegotiate or not, depending on whether they even want him.
Yup. It is gone. No requirement to honor. It is crystal clear that entering the portal puts any guarantees of your scholarship at risk and Whales have noted that they are "not stupid" and to the NIL agrements are structured in a way you can not take the money and run (que Steve Miller)

It might be forfeited, but I'm thinking the school would honor it, if they could. Otherwise, why take the player back and have a cancer sitting there on the team.
I could use $200k these days, but I guess it's chicken feed in this context.

It seems very likely that when a player enters the portal, the $$ allocated to him is reallocated elsewhere. Particularly at a place like Cal where the NIL $$ is tight.
So if the player wants to return, the money might not be there. No doubt the player knows that when entering the portal . . . which is why you don't see players returning very often.
How about instead of getting upset that there are four other guards recruited for your team, you decide you're going to prove yourself in practice and actually earn a starting position OVER those four guards. How about not running scared to the portal whenever things get tough?
This idea that you can "dip your toe" into the portal and come back if you can't secure more $$ is hogwash. The whole player-coach-team dynamic is different once you go that route. You ruined it, TT, good riddance.

NIL is an insurmountable shift in power and its so easy to exercise this new power.
