Anyone else a little bit concerned about our portal efforts?

I've just about given up on the Admin/boosters willingness to pony up for basketball.

White will field a team, but I don't see anything, at the moment, that screams NCAA tourney team.

As for WBB, it's been crickets. Not 100% sure what happened with Abe, but my guess is that they told her there is no money for her.

I like our pickups, and love who we kept from last year. Biggest worry for me now is a starting C which we still currently don't have.

I think our additions are okay, but losing Sumto, Wilkins, Ross and Wilkinson hurts a lot.

We also didn’t get a single recruit for basketball this class.

I would say that I’m fairly concerned at this point considering where we are at the moment.

I think that performance really hurt us in the tournament. Looked really bad.

Hopefully CMW can work some magic and get us another bubble team and we keep the easy arse non conference schedule

I’m pretty sure any recruits, or their agents, were certainly watching the schools they might attend in the tournament play. I bet most recruits and certainly agents, were watching many tournament games just like the rest of the sports world.

Imagine thinking hard about going to a school and then not watching them in March Madness….yea, that’s a kid I’d want at my school

Recruits look for opportunity and now $$$. Lot’s of higher ranked teams fell way short in the tournament. It is not like it used to be. We all see you were just trying to take a back handed shot. It is ok.

Sounds like the field is expanding to 70+ can't remember the exact number.

Even given our history, as a Power 4 school, should we be happy making the tournament going forward? And forget the two arse beatings we received, I mean just in general...should making the tournament be viewed as a successful season moving forward?

As a baseline, that's a good starting point. If/when we start making it consistently, the next step is making a deep run.

So looks like we'll go with a main rotation of:

G- Smurf, Cain, Smurf's brother, Penn state guy
Wing- Catchings, St. Louis guy
F/C- Stagg, J Scott, Africa guy

Is that right? Due to the portal I can't keep track of names anymore so this is the best I can do on portal people

Looks like another brand of ball.

More defense/rebounding(hopefully!). Offense won't be leading the nation in scoring with this group. And I'm fine with that if the defense improves.

As usual, will need better 3 point shooting.

I don't see anything that would make us feel better about rebounding sadly. (I haven't looked up stats or measurables for any new players)

With what was lost and now acquired, I think it’s safe to say we didn’t get any better and most likely took a big step back smh. Couldn’t pony up when we had to.
