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.

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?

Excited to see the commitment, but the young man is on the small side - seeing 5'7", 5'8" or so...scares me with some some of the bigger B1G receivers.

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.

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.

You got it, as the saying goes... 'Always bet on Mike Woodson' - Mike Woodson

Quick update on outgoing transfers: Philip Blidi has visits lined up to Washington (April 5-7th), LSU (April 10-12th), Oklahoma (April 19-20th) 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?

I love that Carlyle's #3 KenPom comp is Matt Carlino...

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)

Does it require a monthly discord investment?

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

Starting a topic to capture updates on this weekend's, December 8th-10th, visitors. Feel free to pepper in additions and I will update accordingly. HS Visits DL Mario Landino (JMU decommit) QB Alberto Mendoza (JMU decommit) RB Khobie Martin (IU commit) S Jah Jah Boyd (JMU decommit) WR Charlie Becker (IU commit) RB Justus Savage (IU commit) Edge Daniel Ndukwe (JMU decommit) Portal Visits QB Jordan McCloud (JMU transfer) Planned Future Visits HS Visits Edge William Depaepe (Georgia Tech decommit) - Dec 15th-17th Portal Visits TE Justin Joly (UConn transfer) - Dec 15th-17th WR O'Mega Blake (South Carolina transfer) - TBD

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

That's a strong a$$ answer...

Chicago DB/WR Garrett Reese commits to Indiana on 2/16, other reported offers include Cincy, Cal, and an assortment of MAC'tion. https://247sports.com/Player/garrett-reese-46139781/

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.

That's where I am as well -> poor relationship (?) + transparency that he is entering the portal = no run in games

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.

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?
