00:00A couple of transfer notes for you, as we've had some transfer situations here throughout

00:07the country, two big ones, New Mexico's Donovan Dent, who I think before Lewis went in was

00:14the number one guy in the portal.

00:17He goes to Mick Cronin and UCLA.

00:20So that's a huge get for Mick Cronin.

00:22That dent was tremendous for New Mexico this year.

00:26And R.J. Lewis from St. John's, he enters the transfer portal as well.

00:30I guess he wasn't too thrilled about his three for 75.

00:36I was just having this conversation with the young gun earlier, and I said to him, I don't

00:43plan on, this will be the last time, in my view, that it's worth mentioning the thousand

00:50players that have entered the transfer portal.

00:54I prefer to tell the story of where they end up, as opposed to giving them attention

01:00for just entering the vacuum.

01:03I don't care where Lewis goes with his broke-ass J. And really, announcing all these kids that

01:11are leaving their schools and screwing everyone that they've played with to find greener pastures,

01:17to me, is not a story.

01:19I think it's a story when we find out where they go, fair enough.

01:25But not when they're leaving.

01:26I don't think it's a story.

01:27In fact, I don't like the lay of the land at all in college basketball.

01:32This portal being opened up during the NCAA tournament was the dumbest thing I ever saw.

01:37And paying them.

01:38I know a lot of people will argue that they deserve to be paid, and I'm fine with that.

01:44I've never had a problem with paying them.

01:46I've had a problem with paying them millions, and then none of them go to class, and none

01:51of them get an education.

01:53And then when the money dries up, we've got a bunch of stupid people walking around without

01:56jobs.

01:57Because I can tell you, the reality is, 95% of them aren't going to the NBA.

02:02Now, I know a lot of kids that play in Europe and overseas.

02:08I do know a lot of them, personally.

02:11And they're all miserable.

02:13And homesick.

02:14And lonely.

02:15And they hate it.
