Braedon Sloan into the portal

[EKU05]

Here. It makes no sense that he would leave. Unless there’s something else we don’t know about. NIL guarantees somewhere else? Something like that maybe? Just very very odd to me.

It probably is something like that. These kinds of things are happening to every team from the Power 5 on down. I'm not surprised at all to see it happen here.

The game\system has changed. I guess society as a whole has changed, and IMO not changed for the better. It is what it is.

So maybe this is a crazy thought but I wonder if our coaching staff pushed the end of or Spring Ball season to try and try to be advantageous of the portal window? 1) Don’t finish Spring-ball too early and allow kids to have too much idle time to think of what could be while portal is open. 2) while evaluating your team during Spring ball analyzing how players are progressing and identifying portal players who may fit a need you feel your weak out coming out of the spring.

I agree to an extent. The transfer portal is out of control. The NCAA should have managed this a long time ago before it went to the supreme court for a decision.

Implementing a few different rules will help coaches with roster management.

Per his mother's Facebook, Sloan just visited Texas A&M.

Mixed feelings since I got my masters at A&M.

Texas A&M always paying that top dollar for middle of the road SEC finishes

Looks like Sloan has chosen Ball State.

I agree. They haven't been above .500 I think in the last 2-3 years. Most have given him a nice NIL deal
