I’m not that good a sleuth to figure out who on those lists are in the portal but I did notice a few “bigs” that are JC.

Because they are international does that mean we can’t/don’t have to pay them NIL
I would think so. Almost all international college athletes are here under F1 visas and those visas significantly limit your work authorization while in the country to mostly just on campus university jobs.
They may be able to receive university revenue sharing, but I do not think they are eligible for typical NIL deals.

Or maybe not.
Gave up being a Cowboy to be in a program at the rock bottom of the MAC.

By the sounds of it he wanted to go somewhere to get more playing time.
Or maybe not.

For going to a school to get more planning time.
He averaged 19 minutes per game with UW this past season. That was good for the 5th highest average on the team.
He had room to increase his floor time with the Pokes even more in this coming season if he put some work in on his game. But I guess the days of trying to improve your situation by improving your game are a thing of the past.
Want more playing time? Transfer. Want more money? Transfer. Don't like the coach? Transfer. Don't like a teammate? Transfer. Don't like the weather? Transfer. It seems to be the answer to any problem you might encounter. Classic "grass is always greener on the other side" mentality.

W Michigan lost a chunk to the portal after terminating their coach who lost 84 games in 4 years.
Harakow will definitely get more playing time and has a chance to be one of the feature playes in a program that is most likely going to continue to be buried deep in the cellar of the MAC.
When he realized he was going to stay 2nd team at UW he jumped ship. No worries though, I do believe his double digit scoring in 5 games against losing teams is easily replaced at UW and will be highly valuable to WM for a few dollars more.

So wants your point all I hear he has the opportunity to have the freedom to play where he wants. Sounds like living in a free country. Sometimes the grass is greener on the on the other side and hopefully it is for the kid.
Wyomingisgreat1,
My point is that we aren't creating very good men by teaching them that the answer to every problem is to run away from it in search of something better. Avoidance usually isn't the best long-term solution to most problems we encounter.
I worry about how that mindset has implications in the rest of their life. Will they choose to run away and look for a better mate when things get tough in their marriage? How will they perform as fathers? Most of these men aren't playing sports for much longer. A few more years and then the rest of life starts. We should be encouraging them to step up, not run away.
I see a lot of talk about how we would all leave our jobs for a better paying one if we had the opportunity. But I'd be willing to bet those of us still working have been at our current job for a good period of time and could almost assuredly find a higher paying job by the end of the week if we really wanted to. Why don't we? Because other things matter.
