I was a big fan of his coming out of New Pal - I wouldn't turn down the commit. Unrelated, but I am seeing Holloman is now in the poooorrtal. Leaves CCC with 78 scholarships for next year and nine former scholarship players in the portal.

I am with you on Jones, he didn't do much for me. Candidly, I assumed he would take a step-down and go MWC to build up his value.

Kam Perry to Miami (OH) & Anthony Jones to MSU.

Roach is going to be an All-American under Drew - ugh.

Blidi to Auburn. Leaves 10 in the portal with 79 scholarships spoken for this fall.

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.
