Hines enters portal

Time to give up on watching college sports. This is ridiculous. Let me know if things get better
Great. Will Budd stay or are we building an entire team from scratch again?
Big men are going to command more money regardless. Wasn’t Payne our most expensive player this year?
With the stupidity of the rules, there is no good reason to not enter the portal. You can do your own market research and still come back to the same school if you want if they are willing to take you back. And I have to believe most coaches want guys that have been in their system before, so it's not a tough sell for the coach to take you back. The sad part is these young people will never experience the community that so many college players had been a part of in the past and you'll have few names synonymous with a school. It makes a player like Karaban easy to root for.
Can't blame him. I wonder what Sha offered? Hines is going to get $3M+ and it's just too much for us.
We have a weak budget and Sha doesn't like spending big on individual players. I can't see Sha offering a player more than he makes.

Exactly. If I’m Hines, and can make $12-15 million in four years by “portaling” every year vs staying “loyal” for $6-8 million, I know what I’m doing. That’s FU money IF he is smart.
Given how he was used this year, I thought there was almost 0% chance of him returning. Now, someone else is getting an absolute superstar in the making. Shame.
This is all on the coach. He had him riding pine all year for a bum like Payne. He’s not leaving bc of the money, he’s leaving bc the way he was used, which was terribly. Coach needs to wake up fast this is ridiculous
Good thing we rested him so much. He’ll be nice and healthy for Pitino or Cooley. When are we going to learn. Run these dudes into the ground. 1 year of service calls for maximum usage.
Sha thought Payne was better lmao. Tells you all you need to know about his talent evaluation. Coach is beyond clueless and just got a big raise and extended. The misery never ends
High rated college players have always wanted to showcase their skills to be drafted in the NBA. Throw in that they are now showcasing their skills to earn my money each season while still playing in college, I don’t see how this is a surprise to anyone.
These types of players will never stay to play for a coach that has players use all their energy on defense leaving them no legs for offense. This hurts future earning potential.
Throw in the awful SHU offensive sets and I don’t see any true offensively skilled player wanted to come regardless of money.

6 points 5 rebounds per game I think we will be ok.
yes I would love for him to stay and develop into a monster but it’s just not reality in our world.
Take a deep breath everyone.

Honestly, is anyone genuinely surprised? It's the way things are now.
Has any better than average player entered portal and returned to Seton Hall? Probably only a handful if that. Say goodbye.
I loved hines and but le
Was just gonna say same thing...yes he has potential but outside of 5 feet from the basket cant score or defend on the perimeter....
Go ahead. Go into the ham, take the carving knife, and stab me here. Right here!
Frankly, I’m depressed and ashamed.

Got a better option hiding out in the A-Sun or Patriot league? Because that’s where we shop. Oh that’s right, our GM knows every hidden gem in America. We’re saved!
Hines was really out of shape, slow on D and couldnt go out to the perimeter
He’s hitting the portal because of the $, but Sha didn’t do himself any favors having him come off the bench every single game.
We watched different games. I didn’t see “really out of shape”, or slow on d. I saw a freshman big who was our best player at times, scored easily, shot decent from the ft line, and blocked shots at a high clip.
I guess his aunt and uncle telling us hines planned to stay all 4 years than off to the NBA were all bull and I fell for it..
Surprised? No.
Disappointed? Absolutely.
For a quaint fanbase like Seton Hall, losing your best player every year really hurts. They needed to maintain momentum going into next season and give the fanbase reasons for excitement / to stay engaged. Keeping Hines and Clark would do that.
But there's not much they can do if Hines gets a big pay increase and the opportunity to potentially compete for a natty.
It will be a massive groin kick if he ends up at St. Johns though. Total embarrassment if so.

Also feels like the cord is cut because he didn't even thank the school or say he's open to a return but maybe I'm reading into that too much.
Time to stop watching college basketball en mass. We stop watching, maybe the powers at be will actually do something about this mess.
Could you imagine? To be one of the very few teams that used to be behind us in NIL and then outpay us.
it’s been obvious for a quite a long time he wasn’t coming back.
