Dorn might end up being a piece we wish we kept when all said and done. His ability to stretch the floor in a 2 big lineup may be missed.

I don’t like quiet time lol

There haven’t been major signings in the whole nation for the past three or four days. It seems to be a quiet time with most of the major players committed. We are in a much better position than expected based on who we have. Now it’s time to scheme them up and coach them up.

Hard to believe there’s no rumblings of something..

Sanon to West Virginia.

Inject the Masshole tears straight into my veins. Couldn't happen to a more deserving group.

Interesting to note that although we've heard that Junjie Wang was a heavy U Mass lean, he has not committed anywhere yet. Could be he is looking for the right $ and playing time combination still. I do think we are getting close to the point where those still in the portal are going to have to reevaluate their price tag/playing time 'promises'.

Wow, when you put it in summary form that really is pretty hideous. And yet, inexplicably, I feel in no way bad for them. Weird.

Fun couple weeks in Boston Bill's world. Warriors Celtics blew a 3-1 lead Bruins losing a series to the NHL's version of Rutger BoSox firing a good manager cuz the front office nerds built an awful roster. All whilst waking up every morning hoping that the Vrabel/Russini saga doesn't take another turn and Josh McDaniels gets to fail upwards a third time.

The Shamrock Slurper's podcast is gonna be must listen after blowing a 3-1 lead to Philly. Love to see it.

If they visited Lincoln it was to see his casket- it was in August four months after he died.

We could do worse. I’ve heard him interviewed and he seems like a solid kid.

Bradshaw is the perfect 17-18 mpg big this team needs off the bench. He’s a quality depth piece and good enough to the point where you won’t fall off a cliff if Samet or Sherrell get hurt. His lack of development over the course of his career is concerning, but at this stage he is what he is and that’s more than competent for the role we need to fill the most.

Kinda nice, ESPN’s final 2026 recruiting rankings has IU at 25th. So 3rd top portal class, 25th 2026 class rank

Harris has me curious as hell. Such a great shooting stroke and was young and buried behind bigger names at Duke. He is a season changer if he becomes Lamar Wilkerson-lite.

Imagine going ‘65…1865. Talk about a politically charged environment. lol. Did they visit Lincoln or Johnson?

As others have theorized, it’s likely a money thing. It’d be nice if we had an ace left up our sleeve, though. I think the Burton/Sherrell combo has enough potential synergy to be season defining on its own. But yea…odds are your assessment is correct.

This roster is so different from last year or anything Devries has had before it is either a generational overcorrection, or Carr has a little more runway than it appears from the outside and this is what he prefers. I kind of like it as a high floor/low ceiling roster that can be built on next year

My fear is that they are putting a feather in their cap for this portal haul and pretty much calling it good. Close to Non playable depth pieces will be the death of next season. Imo Dusty..Michigan figured it out pretty quickly and there is no reason we can’t do the same. It would be nice to go into one season with confidence instead of a bunch of ??? I would really like to see the staff pull in someone like Devin Williams at this late date and I would think we are starting to give ourselves a competitive edge.

Lindsay is pretty much a known quantity too. Sisley, Harris and Mustaf are the keys to the season surpassing expectations.

Last weekend, several EYBL team did not make the trip to Atlanta as there was some kind of an event in the DMV area. Those teams got together this weekend. In today's second game, Lyons and Veney faced each other.

I haven’t pulled up much video but he’s supposedly a slasher who is pretty mediocre efficiency wise inside the arc (lots of long 2’s?) but shoots the 3 ball well but on less than 2 attempts per game. We’ll see what this new staff is made of with his and Harris’s scouts. Two gambles whom we apparently loved. Sherrel and Burton aren’t without their warts either but I think you probably get enough of both that even their potential downside is worth it. If Carrs scout is right on those 4 and CDD can coach em up, there’s a lot of potential there.

lol

I think if we had last years team with Sherrell, Yigitoglu and Burton minus Bailey, Acamovic and Conerway, we'd be pretty jacked about it. The only difference maker that somewhat fits in the portal is Momcilovic. My concern is that we flipped our previous weaknesses and strengths. I guess the difference is, this year we have guys that have shot well in the past but are unproven and you cant teach size. Did we push it too far one way? Remains to be seen. Odds are we're looking for emergency players, but it would be cool if we got Momcilovic.
