Kim English Played A Providence Player 1-On-1 To Convince Him To Leave The Transfer Portal, Needs To Be The New Rule ASAP
This is obviously joking and more importantly Kim English showing he's a players coach to help his own recruiting. But this needs to be the new rule to enter the transfer portal. If you beat your coach 1-on-1, you can do whatever you want. If not, your coach decides if he wants you to stay or go. I personally don't give a shit about the transfer portal, but anyone who still pretends to care, here's the answer. We don't need Congress to get involved or idiots at the NCAA. Just make it simple.
Playground rules. Ball don't lie. Shoot for it. However you want to classify it, this is how it should be. I still don't know why people pretend to care about the transfer portal. You either pretend they are regular college students and get the right to transfer (like any other student) or you acknowledge they are more than that and don't get to bitch about NIL. You pick.
The player in question here is Jayden Pierre. He might come back, who knows. Kids do that all the time where they hit the portal, evaluate everything and then come back. This is a coaching change. If there's one time nobody can bitch about transfers is if a coaching change happens. Also it's not shocking at all he lost to Kim English in one-on-one. English was fucking nasty at Mizzou.
I'm trying to think what coach playing 1-on-1 would be the funniest. We know who would be the best. English, Penny, Mark Madsen, Bobby Hurley, Damon Stoudamire, all the former major players. Let me see Larranaga at 73-years old play someone to leave. Or Steve Forbes at Wake. Just bully ball and backing down from the 3pt line like a dad does to their 12-year old son when they refuse to lose. No doubt in my mind Shaka would be in a full on defensive stance. Even more confident that Bruce Pearl would immediately pop his top off and be sweaty like Along Came Polly.
Recruiting 101 though by English here. Put out a viral video. Everyone starts to feel good for you.
