The OREGON STATE BASKETBALL has finally made an agreement to move on…
Following Oregon State’s Pac-12 tournament loss in the first round, men’s basketball coach Wayne Tinkle shared his outlook for the team’s future.
Tinkle declared, “We’re dedicating ourselves to rebuilding our young group.” We’re confident we’ll succeed.
That young group didn’t seem to feel quite the same way.
Eight Oregon State players had either entered the transfer portal or declared their intention to do so as of Friday morning.
Jordan Pope, Tyler Bilodeau, Jayden Stevens, KC Ibekwe, Chol Marial, Christian Wright, Justin Rochelin, and Dexter Akanno are among the names on the list.
To put things in perspective, during the previous season, those eight players scored 79.8% of the team’s points.

Why the players chose to move on is a mystery. It might be due to the team’s lack of success, the switch to the West Coast Conference, the desire for more NIL opportunities, more playing time, playing in a more accessible location, or perhaps something more private that we are unaware of.
It’s possible that you should use the transfer portal simply because it is available.
The portal is beneficial overall. Why should players be forced to make decisions at the age of 17 when coaches can leave at any time for better opportunities and ADs can transfer schools to different conferences at any time?

Coaching staffs find it challenging because of the schedule, which opens the Monday before the NCAA tournament begins. What does the enforcement look like when it comes to players and schools having improper contact?
Supporters may exhort devotion, but this is the system we live in. Players only get one chance to experience college, and if it doesn’t work out, they have a way to make it right.

Make a base. Perhaps you can locate enough spare parts to assemble a WCC-competitive team.
Even if team members are in their last year, decent performance shows prospective transfers and recruits that success is possible.
