So has Braden Smith entered the portal yet. Didn't some guy say he would enter today on X

Looks like Colvin and Heide saw the logjam at the guard and wings spot at PU and decided to leave

Sure it does, this fan base is the most bipolar fan base in the country.

Chaney Johnson played at Alabama Huntsville before going to Auburn. He is averaging 9 ppg this year for Auburn

He is #31 and comes off the bench. I think he is around 6'8. Will have to look up his name

Being negative and pessimistic doesn't either, we have proof of that over the last 20 years

With how Stirtz played this season and Auburn has a D2 player it is becoming more common for D2 players to play well at the D1 level.

The portal commit came with the coach from Xavier. I don't understand why some people have to be so impatient and acting like some drama queens.

There is a chance the coaches have been hired but just not announced yet

Well Ballo and Rice and Goode went to the tournament the year before and how did that turn out.

Can I ask what has he really won in 3 years of college. He has been on one tournament team and they barely made the tournament.

Maybe I look at the portal differently but I don't want all the portal players being seniors. I want most of them having at least two years of eligibility so we might be able to build a foundation for the program. I just don't want to be in this same place next year having to build the whole roster again. Guys like Conwell or Dix would be great but will only be here 1 year. Also I don't want to throw money at players who are good but not great. I like Conwell but he is now on his 4th team in 4 years and only made the tournament once. I would also hope we can at least get two more high school recruits to go along with Sisley because that will help building the foundation. I would really like to see the guard who was committed to WVU to come here.

I hope that is true because we see what happens when you just throw money around to players who don't fit together.

All of these players know each other and talk so maybe some of these players didn't like how the fans treated the players last year. Like it or not this can be a factor in these guys minds.

Why? It is early

Everybody points to Dusty at UM and how he built his roster in one year which is true. The thing is that he didn't get his first commit until mid April and it didn't hurt their season. Also how many of the transfers at IL were considered a 5 star portal player. This fan base can be great but it is also very exhausting.

I didn't realize that the portal is closed and we can't sign anymore players

Who said we aren't going to spend the money but if true 4 mil is to much to spend on Conwell. If that amount is close to being true I am not going to spend 40% of your money on one player.

I don't think these things help in any way

Well UL is only 2 hours from Indy

So you must be pretty young then because the 91-92 team is a lot better than this team

That's ridiculous I heard Dix is asking for 1.5-2 mil which is to much for him but I guess that is a going rate for a good player but not great player

Well if that one guy who tweeted that Braden Smith is going into the portal is true then we should offer him huge money. The only problem I don't think this is true that Smith is going on the portal

Well that sucks

Why would you believe what this guy says about anything. Isn't he the one that keeps deleting his post and then comes back again and again
