I hope we retain Catchings. I’m ok with Smurf all though he was really fricking stupid in the St. Louis game. Cyril can be replaced with a better scorer. Wilkinson was really good at times and like others have said, disappeared at times. Let’s not forget the 3 point foul in the Ole Miss game FFS. He can also be replaced. Blue I’m 50/50 on. A part of me wants to believe he can be a good player but there’s times where he looks disinterested. I don’t think the sky is falling and we hit the portal like everyone else.

A 1-2-3 of Smurf/Blue/Catchings would be a nice solid start. Doesn't really scream final 4 or anything but nothing to sneeze at. I like Stagg's potential but he's gonna need to take a big step and we need to hit a home run in the portal down low.

Look at pretty mucn any team worth a shite in this year's tournament and every one of them has a really, really good big man that can move and score.

Give me Smurf, Catchings, Stagg and Wilkins and then fill the roster with eastern Europeans

I want Slava back damn it! When went back to Europe it was a kick in the nuts. He has mad handles and now can shoot apparently.

What do you think our chances with Sylla are? The center from GT.

White is in contact with a few. I think we land one of the 3 mentioned on the 247 board. White has actually done well in the portal. We’ll see.

Damn even the guys who can’t catch minutes are out. My hopes which were not high are plummeting

Maybe part of the pitch to hold on to Smurf was we had to take his brother?

Seems like White has figured out how to work the portal because it looks like he has to rebuild again next year. He seems to find several guys every season. Still wish we could retain guys and watch them develop like the past. Still I think most mid-tier and even top teams are having to reload every season. Just the reality of college hoops now.

Look at Michigan that just won the National Championship….did it with their 6 main players coming from the portal

It’s a new world. It sucks, but it is what it is now until something happens to stop it.

Allegedly tried to dictate terms and frankly isn’t a good enough player (yet) to do that.

Any other details you share...like what terms?

I honestly thought he looked really good. His on ball defending was good. I think he struggled on playing within the defense as it seemed like white got mad at him a few times over defensive stuff.

Liked his shot from 3 and maybe most importantly to me, he is a legacy. I would be fine overpaying him to an extent. Just sucks to see a legends son leave. College sports has lost a lot it's joy and spirit.
