I guess I was wrong. I still don’t understand why he is leaving based on this. The highlight film was good but I watched him play. He is a 6’9” player that plays 15 to 20 feet from the basket and his inside post up and inside the paint defense were nonexistent. I think he thinks that because he can hit a few 3 point shots that makes him more of a threat. I watched 6’3” guys eat his lunch all season down low. Who does he think he is kidding? If he goes to a bigger school, he will ride the pine like he did at Kansas or wherever he came from. Xavier Cork was much much better than Petrakis. The crown superimposed on the video at the end is laughable. He was a below average 6’9” guy in the SoCon. He will move on into obscurity where he belongs. Someone is giving these kids bad advice. I hope I am wrong and he sets the world on fire. Someone is going to get a 6’9” forward that thinks he is a 6’0” guard. Lol. I posted the video thinking this was an indication he is not leaving WCU. He's not in the portal and will have to sit out a season if he does make a move.

Does the man not own a calendar or know what month it is? Why go into the portal on May 2nd and not April 29th? Now he has to sit out a year because he did not declare before May 1st. Makes no sense.

Since he transferred to WCU last season and did not sit out, maybe that was his one time, and now he would have to sit regardless of when he entered the portal. I'm just not 100% sure I understand the transfer rules now...

My understanding is that players had to provide a written notice to their current school of their intent to enter the transfer portal by 11:59 pm on May 1 to be eligible for the transfer waiver. The schools compliance department then has two days after that to enter the player into the transfer portal. That could possibly explain why it looked like Joe entered the portal right after the deadline.

Wow. All in the span of 2 days. No way that many teams have been able to evaluate him in that amount of time. I am sure some of them talked to him before he went into the portal.

"Reaching out" can mean a lot of things. Could have just been an email or contact on twitter... I noticed he didn't say anything about offers...

That is probably the problem, no on is advising these guys, and if they are, the players are ignoring the advice. A 6-9/6-10 guy will land somewhere I'm sure, but if they watch a lot go game film, he could end up in a lesser school & conference.

The answer I got from my bartender on "When did Joe enter the Portal"?
