Transfer Portal Closed as of July 1? - Pippen, Jr implications
I read that the transfer portal is now closed - July 1 was the closure date.
To my knowledge, Pippen, Jr. did not enter the transfer portal, correct?
He is still in the draft; however if he withdraws from the draft, or goes undrafted and has not hired an agent, this means he could return to Vanderbilt, barring him signing to play in the G-League, Europe, or Australia, right?
Any insight or corrections are appreciated.

It is supposed to close on July 1st, but not sure if that means 11:59pm tonight or if it is already closed. I'll be watching this space.

Based on this article, I thought the transfer portal closed as of July 1.
However, based on this article, I believe you are correct that it means that the transfer portal closes after July 1, given that Kofi Cockburn entered his name in the transfer portal today - July 1.

Not seeing Pippen's name on the list as of this AM.

I don’t even see his name on the list as in the portal but has not transferred.
Sure would be nice if we could sort that list by Old/New school.

He never entered the transfer portal. I’ve been saying all along that nothing he ever said indicated intent to transfer.

Re: Transfer Portal Closed as of July 1? - Pippen, Jr implications
Yep. I brought this up last week. I don't know how anybody read a desire to transfer into that statement. It was a goodbye, admittedly, but for the start of his career and not for someplace else. So I've said all along that I don't see him transferring. The question is whether he's going to stay professional or come back. We'll find out on July 7th, which is the NCAA's deadline to withdraw your name from the list of NBA draft entrants.UltimateVUFan wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 8:53 amHe never entered the transfer portal.

FWIW, he seems to have done quite well in the G-League combine, but not enough to get an invitation to the NBA combine. That's why you haven't seen any measurements of him, for instance. So the NBA itself sees him as unlikely to be drafted. But if he feels that the G-League--or perhaps the Australian league or Europe--will better prepare him for a professional career, then I can see him staying professional. Personally I think he'd do better to play against SEC players in practice and in games, especially since it's clear that NBA execs watch an awful lot of NCAA basketball. If they didn't, international players like Alperin Sengun or Josh Giddey would be likely to be drafted much higher than guys like Davion Mitchell (likely a Patrick Beverley or Tony Allen play-alike) or Corey Kispert (Doug McDermott Jr.) that starred in the NCAA tournament. (And nobody would be returning calls from Johnny Juzang's agent, much less considering drafting him.) So developing under CJS's tutelage and making a run at SEC POY would be a lot more likely to get him drafted than dominating the much tougher Adriatic League, like Sengun has been doing.
Obviously, though, these are Scottie's dreams we're talking about, so I hope he does well no matter which path he chooses. ( )

You know how everybody on here is anti-N.I.L. $$ for college athletes?
Is there some talk around town that it might be the key to getting Pippen back for another season? Or did I simply imagine I heard something like that when a little bird flew by the window? Ya know, like rumors.

Re: Transfer Portal Closed as of July 1? - Pippen, Jr implications
Fair enough, and you may be correct. However, it seems odd that he would post that statement on his Instagram unless he was currently leaning towards staying in the NCAA. He wouldn’t have to worry about potential “local” endorsements/promo deals in Euro or G Leagues, because he wouldn’t be likely to get them. You are obviously right that we shouldn’t count our chicks yet, but all of this has me reasonably optimistic.

I was on the fence before yesterday. Maybe 50-50 on this at best.UltimateVUFan wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 6:06 amFair enough, and you may be correct.

With the new developments, I'm going 80-20 that he's back. Not 100% but certainly looks better now.

How about this...
The all-new Scotty Pippen by VandyMania(TM)
Then Don has to send every poster a poster of Pippen and pay him for the N-I-L rights. I think it's a great idea. As long as I can get extra posters for my nieces and nephews.

Imagine how much money Scotty will lose if he turns pro.
But seriously, when you offer these deals make it contingent upon Scotty still being a Vanderbilt Men’s Basketball player.
Surely, his NIL is worth more than that of UK reserve Dontaie Allen.

I clicked on the link you provided. The merchandise? OK. But $80 for a zoom call? Opens a new dimension on the term "whoring".

But ... it's a TEN- to FIFTEEN-MINUTE Zoom call. You could get 15 of your Wildcats fan friends together and each chip in five bucks.geeznotagain wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 5:44 pm

OR ... for only $40 you could go to a UK game, get there early, and say "Hello" to Dontaie as he runs onto the court. If you want an autograph after the game, however, it's gonna cost you.
