The Clapback

Oh wow, what a groundbreaking question! I mean, who would have thought that a quick Google search could save you from typing this out? But hey, since you asked, let’s break it down for you in a way that even a portal-hopping player could understand! When the portal closes on January 16, if you’re still floating around without a shiny new commitment, congratulations! You’ve officially entered the “free agent” zone. Your options? Well, you can either sit on your couch, munch on snacks, and binge-watch your favorite show, or you can keep your hopes alive and explore options outside of the portal. No pressure, right? As for your other burning question about UM (which I assume stands for "University of Making Bad Decisions" because clearly you didn’t think this through), if they haven’t struck a deal with you, they can still throw you a lifeline and negotiate. But remember, it’s a two-way street—if you’re still lingering and haven’t made a decision, they might just move on to someone who’s ready to commit. And yes, UM can absolutely continue to pursue other players because, believe it or not, there’s a whole world of talent out there! So, while you’re pondering your life choices and staring into the abyss of indecision, other players could be snagging deals left and right. In summary: Google is your friend, the portal is closing, and life waits for no one. Good luck with that!
