I’m old enough to remember when people freaked out because we were signing Adam Olsen and it was proof that our staff were morons and they were gonna fill our team with mid major players again.
Speculation is indeed fun but not worth getting worked up over. Choose optimism with the portal!

Here’s our boy diving for a 50/50 ball during a travel ball game in April. Follows that up with chasing down a loose ball and just casually burying a corner 3. If that doesn’t do a little something for you not sure what will. 

I got duped by a fake account. Dagnabbit!

There’s a fake job rothstein account, they’re just rage baiting 

Not sure where you are seeing that.  They are #38 on his list. 
But John Rothstein isnt any smarter than anybody else.  I can respect that he actually likes the sport he covers, a lot of people just pretend to.  But he's still an idiot most of the time. 

Rothstein is the worst. Is he trolling with his updated top 45, or did Kentucky get some commitments today that warrant them being in the top 10? I thought things were looking bleak for them. What changed?

If we are a no-brainer, not play-in tournament team?
Sign me up. That’s now a major improvement.

If Milan is the 3rd surprise… we’re talking an instant top 10 roster on paper, maybe even top 5.
Even if he doesn’t, it’s clear we are paying these guys enough to make them ok with the possibility of coming off the bench. It’s so nice to see our roster right now and see 6-7 starters. I’m already over the moon. Milan would have me on my way to Jupiter.

I’m not putting any weight into this account, but could you imagine? 

Unless he is getting like $8 million a year, he should go to the NBA.  He's a 6'8 sharpshooter that will help a pro team right away.

I wonder if the sharpshooter's name rhymes with 
Ophelian Momishomeabunch

Sounds like we’re looking to add a backup big man and a sharp shooter.

I fully expect him to go elsewhere, but I’d be lying if I said a commitment from him wouldn’t have me over the moon.

If, IF this happens the board may crash again 

Pretty sure he is largely thought to be Florida bound.

I’m not putting any weight into this account, but could you imagine? 

We got grandfathered into "Archie Miller: more locked in than a CPA on April 15th"
 
Related; I loathe Jon Rothstein.

There’s a guy on Twitter who, a couple days ago, said there would be 3 surprises. Paraphrasing, he said 2/3 complete. One more in store? I don’t know if we can handle it this point, and by “we” I mean us fans! 

Based on this chart it wouldn’t hurt to get a few guys who only have one more year. Some savvy vets to come off the bench 

I’m with you completely. Get some high upside, low cost European players like Illinois has or use the last two spots on late portal entries like you said. At this point, it’s going to be hard to get a starting-level player. This is where the scout becomes extremely important. No deadweight! 

Would hold a spot or 2 until portal closes just to see which agents purposely have their clients enter later.    Unless you want it done and over with i would at least hold a spot until it’s officially closed  

Goodness gracious am I one happy Hoosier today. Now I’ve got to spend 30 minutes to catch up and also enjoy the BBN meltdown.
Tip of the cap to DeVries, Carr and the staff. This is how you make waves. 

I cannot overstate how excited I am to see what our coach can do with these kids. While I think we have the roster talent to make a deep run, I would call this upcoming season a success if he can get them to the second weekend of the dance.
