Rylen Griffen, Kansas. 6'6" guard. Spent first two years at Alabama -- averaged 11.2 points his sophomore year at Alabama. Over three seasons has averaged 21 mpg, 7.8 ppg, 2.7 rebounds and shot 37/34/68. Bulk three point shooter. KJ Lewis, Arizona. 6'4" wing. Bad three point shooter but good athlete and defender. 10.8 pts, 4.6 reb, 2.9 ast in 26 mpg last season.

Kerr Kriisa in the portal....yes, that Kerr Kriisa. Three years at Arizona (one redshirted), one year at West Virginia, than last year at Kentucky....fractured his foot and redshirted again. Pass first point guard who mainly shoots just from three. Career numbers: 37% shooting (36% from three with 80% of his shots coming from three), 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists. Good distributor. 24 years old.

Bryce Hopkins (Providence) to St. John's. He's a good one.

****, if he can kick 34% of open 3s in he shouldn't have redshirted just for the entertainment value.

This is the thing about Colvin: he only shot 31% from three but I swear the only games I watched Purdue play this year he was lights out from three. Wherever he goes, he needs to make sure it's somewhere that I watch him play a lot.

Have to remember that AH doesn't want a player who 'wants bags' yet wanted Will Wade as a coach....the ultimate throw bags coach who did it illegally.

Shouldn't you be on the NC State board cheering on your new head coach?

No, I said he wasn't ONLY chasing a bag. Also trying to find the issue with chasing a bag if you are also producing, which he has.

Cool, so he chose starting, playing for a really good team, and getting paid over starting and playing for a really good team? Seriously, what is the issue there?

FWIW, the rumor on Pack wasn't just that he was coming home. Trilly had hinted very strongly about a player that wanted to come to Indiana this year regardless if Woodson was the coach or not and it seemed obvious he was referring to Pack.

1. He strongly considered Purdue before choosing Miami.....you don't even put Purdue in the conversation if it's about chasing the bag. 2. Nothing wrong with chasing the bag as long as you play on court. Kid was an integral part of a final four team already.

The next positive thing you say will be your first. Ought to try it sometime.

Very good shot blocker. Don't know about pick and roll. The biggest problem at Kansas was getting him and Dickinson on the court together because both are fives defensively.

Pretty stupid to delete a tweet and then basically say why you deleted it. Makes deleting it moot.

Yes, he can. 3/4.

Iowa State just signed a big from Virginia so I think cluff is s lean Purdue.

Need to temper expectations IMO — visit doesn’t mean signing. I like our chances with Conwell more than Dix but my god if we get both? That would be sweet.

Mike Woodson is available if Maryland doesn't have their guy.

LOL. 'Barely averaged a FT attempt per game......let's see, 66 divided by 37 = 1.8 free throws per game. 1.8 = 'barely one'.

Team/coach out/coach in Colorado State: Nico Medved OUT Ali Farokmanesh (Colorado St ast) IN Drake: Ben McCollum OUT Eric Henderson (South Dakota St) IN Florida State: Leonard Hamilton OUT, Luke Loucks (Sacremento Kings ast) IN Indiana: Mike Woodson OUT, Darian DeVries (West Virginia) IN Iowa: Fran McCaffrey OUT Ben McCollum (Drake) IN Maryland Kevin Willard OUT Miami: Jim Larranga OUT, Jai Lucas (Duke ast) IN Minnesota: Ben Johnson OUT Nico Medved (Colorado St) IN New Mexico: Richard Pitino Jr OUT Eric Olen (UC San Diego) IN NC State: Kevin Keatts OUT, Will Wade (McNeese St) IN Texas: Rodney Terry OUT Sean Miller (Xavier) IN UNLV: Kevin Kruger OUT Josh Pastner IN Utah: Craig Smith OUT, Alex Jensen (Dallas Mavericks ast) IN VCU: Ryan Odom OUT Phil Martelli Jr (Bryant) IN Villanova: Kyle Neptune OUT Kevin Willard (Maryland) IN Virginia: Ron Sanchez OUT Ryan Odom (VCU) IN West Virginia: Darian DeVries OUT Ross Hodges (North Texas) IN Xavier: Sean Miller OUT Richard Pitino Jr (New Mexico) IN

32% free throw shooting is trivial? Really?

Just like the start of the transfer portal, what incredibly stupid timing.

So Conwell and Dix on Monday, Enright on Tuesday/Wednesday. One thing I will say -- and this is true for all teams IMO -- there is less infor put out to the public early than in past cycles. Previously we would have probably heard about the visit dates much earlier. That's fine with me, just an observation.

Keanu Dawes, Utah. 6’9” forward. In 18 minutes per games averaged 8 pts and 6.3 rebounds. 60/32/74

Tucker DeVries was at Drake as well. He isn’t an 8 or 9.
