    You know what.. I don't think I added the Austin Peay, most recent transfer into my thought process. I'm 99% sure you're right, 5 schollies... wouldn't surprise me if 2-3 more leave, though, and we end up with 7-8 to play with. 

    I am with you, I expect CCC to fill at least 7-8 spots in the coming weeks....maybe more.  It was clear to me last night that the talent infusion must continue on this roster (specifically on the defensive side) to reach the staff's expectations.

    We have AT LEAST 6 open spots

    With the portal additions of Larkins, Minor, and Miller I have CCC and staff at 80 scholarships - 5 open- going into the fall with 10 former scholarship athletes in the portal as of today (Lowry, Howland, Perry, Boehler, Miller (TE), Larkins, Blidi, Casey, Jones, and Minor (LB).). Are you tracking another entry @btownqb?

    Listened to the Goodman podcast today. Evidently Drew’s daughter is a sophomore at Baylor and his other kids are younger. I don’t think he leaves Baylor while his daughter is there. 

    I didn't realize Drew had a college-aged kido at Baylor, great insight.  I've also heard anecdotally that Drew is a deeply religious man and the orientation of Baylor and Waco, TX in general suits him and his family well.

    This is where things get interesting.  Galloway is going to play a lot and then we have 3 guards already as backups.  
     

    I feel like we have 2-3 starter spots to sell and then 3-4 bench spots.  
     

    Staff will need to figure out the starter/depth piece part of the puzzle.  
     

    not easy in the portal.  

    Normally I would be right there with you @WayneFleekHoosier, but given the dearth of quality across the roster I think there is a little bit of just 'add dudes and pray the staff can figure it out in the coming months.'  Not the ideal strategy, but when Leal, Anthony Walker and Cupps are your only semi-dependable reserves you know a talent infusion is desperately needed.

    DE Trey Laing entered the portal at the end of March, not a huge loss in terms of production as he didn't see game action in '23.  By my tracker, this puts CCC's roster at 85 grants for the '24 season although further movement post-Spring Ball wouldn't surprise.879272921_ScreenShot2024-04-06at10_21_26AM.thumb.png.67eb4e7b238983d86f2ca83d87edcc34.png

    I’m on board. I’d love to see Dolson’s big board of coaches.

    I think he’s praying Woodson can go 3 more and find some success, but he better have his big board ready in case this season turns cluster.

    I’ve said this before, but in some ways I love Woodys moxy. I mean, that heat was hot. He could of cowered and we all would have rejoiced. But he bet on himself to come back into the blazing kitchen and give it a go. I honestly hope it all ends miraculously. It would be best.

    Anthony Jones is visiting Cal this weekend (April 4-6th)

    Not seeing much on Kam Perry or Jared Casey so we shall see on that front.

    Survivorship bias is a type of sample selection bias that occurs when an individual mistakes a visible successful subgroup as the entire group. In other words, survivorship bias occurs when an individual only considers the surviving observation without considering those data points that didn't “survive” in the event.

    After seeing the Blidi and Perry news I poked around the '24 Spring Football roster and noticed that Max Longman, Matt Hohlt, and Orlando Greenlow are no longer listed on the team.  I haven't come across any portal announcements for the three - has anyone seen anything?

    This is why the money should never get to make the choice. Gatens might be the next Coach K, but the idea of hiring a 35yo Asst with 2 years coaching at the HM level over guys like DeVries and Forbes has insane “smartest guy in the room” energy. 

    Couldn't agree more - DeVries is a winner.  Has consistently won 20+ at Drake, makes the tournament regularly in a 1-bid MVC, and plays a fun brand of basketball (see the Indiana St. MVC Title Game)1313800181_ScreenShot2024-03-17at1_57_30PM.thumb.png.4b5e894c8f5172f1d2f2b01a45194455.png

    No. QB talked them into getting Woody a few years ago because he was an NBA coach. With their limited sports background, they think if you can coach the Knicks than you can coach IU. Then Fred made the switch aroo by hiring Archie with their money so now they're showing us by keeping Mike around for a 4th year and trying to give him everything he needs to be successful. 

    Man Chris, this just hurts my soul...money is a MF'er

    Regardless of how this season ends, and if he's still the coach, Woody has to hit a home run in the portal with probably a minimum of 4 openings and maybe as many as 6 or more depending on what the current roster does and I'm not confident he can do that.

    ...and the track record for programs that bring in 4+ transfers in once cycle is by-and-large not great

    Maybe Incarnate Word players can beat the $hit out of Will Wade in the handshake line today?!

    Was this a test to see how many degenerate posters would bring Tim Priller's recruitment into the conversation?  Because I took the bait - ugh.

    Rabby just said the staff will be looking for a rim protector in the portal next season. That tells me one of two things. We will still play two bigs with Reneau and the transfer or both Ware & Reneau are gone. 

    For what its worth Rabby was fairly direct with the Hysterics last week that he expects a two big lineup in '25 - at the time it was a Queen or Portal conversation.  Now the staff is left with just the latter.

    Love to see the recognition for this group, my 8 y/o wrestles with the Brownsburg Club and ran into Brayton Lee last year and he couldn't have been nicer.  He spoke to the elementary aged kiddos for a good 10 minutes and shared words of encouragement.  Needless to say I was thrilled when he transferred to B'ton and hope he makes a run in the B1G tourney.

    I checked and didn't see anything about him signed, a Twitter post from late December looked like he was still committed.

    That's what I am seeing as well.  In December, Peterson mentioned that he would sign during the Feb period, but to my knowledge - he hasn't.  What I find odd about is that the staff released their '24 signing class visual on 2/7, inclusive of transfers on social media and he wasn't included.  

    I wonder if this is a situation where the staff wants to maintain a solid relationship with the school & community (Carmel) but doesn't see a fit on the roster (which wouldnt be a huge surprise given CCC is at 90-92 scholarship as of today) and is encouraging him to find the right spot behind the scenes?
