600+ players have entered transfer portal or indicated they are transferring to date. Still three weeks to go in signing period so expect many more.

Word is Bryce Moore was sending feelers to P5 schools after entering portal. Indiana for one has some family connection to the Moores apparently. His ACL issues might have been a red flag. Xavier a nice option though as they proved they could beat half the P5's in recent years.

This has been the norm for years.

The problem for WMU is losing impact players on a regular basis (many schools are losing players at the end of their bench), and also the fact that we rarely if ever get D1 transfers coming in. There has been a significant talent deficit on the transfer market.

Regarding the transfer portal.

"The REST of the story"....

Cap room

Over 700 now on the Goodman 2019 transfer list which now includes WMU Sophomore TJ Clifford.

That list does not include Walkon players changing schools

TJ likely headed to smaller school. Look for two more WMU signings soon

Impact players are moving on a regular basis. Look at the MAC alone last two seasons. Patience, my bet is couple more signings including a 5th year. The MAC will have a much different face 2019-2020. WMU will be competitive plus able to go 6'6, 6'8, 6'9, 6'10 across the front next year. That takes alot of pressure off the guards that got buried this season.

Please tell me what 5th years are being recruited. Please. Also, if the 5th year doesn't come or isn't a pretty big time addition or like Emilien turns into Kevin Durant we are definitely gonna suck again.

Wow!! Pretty negative outlook!! It is pretty amazing that you can figure out in April without seeing how much the current players have improved, how Brandon Johnson and Jason Whitens look in their returns from season ending injuries and how the 3 new signees play that the Broncos will suck if they don't get any additional help. It would be nice to give these guys and the current team a chance before you decide that they suck.

Hmmm.

Twice in 2 years.

Kids leaving WMU to play down.

WOTS is that Jarrin Randall had trouble catching on with a new team.

Did coach Hawkins want TJ to stay?

I mean I wouldn't say it to their faces or anything. I'd be a jerk if I did that. But this is my favorite sports team. I feel like expressing pessimism is pretty ok. I think the Tigers are gonna lose 90 games this year even though they've started out ok. Matthew Boyd probably wouldn't love hearing that, and I hope I'm wrong, but shooting this stuff about sports gets way less fun if I have to act like the players are in the room with me when I talk my ish.
