Steer clear... head case...

Would be my inclination as well. But my view of roster building is set in stone. If a coach wants a player I want them to have the player, no exceptions, and then judge the results. If DeVries wants to bring the kid in, and that’s tough to see since it would fly pretty hard in the face of everything he’s said so far, ok then.

I agree with this... I have not seen where DeVries is interested... but it's his choice to get the kids that the wants.

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

Arizona’s KJ Lewis in the portal. Texas kid and TTU was supposedly his other finalist. Can’t imagine 1 of the deep pockets schools down there won’t step up.

North Dakota in January and February vs South Carolina in January and February?   Yeah, that's a tough decision for me.

KU’s Rakease Passmore in the portal. Had an IU offer. Had a tough year there and never seemed to settle in. But the kid is an absolutely elite athlete and has the tools to be a defensive menace. He’ll land just fine.

Yes he’s someone I’d love to have off the bench as a 3 year guy

Sounds like it’s Purdue vs Iowa State. Jacobsen looked good to me before the injury. Curious how he comes back from that.

Uhhhh he doesn't fit there. Not as a sub 7' Center. 6'11" is way too small.

Trilly Donovan -

Respectfully some of these dudes should be entering the workforce instead of the transfer portal.

Yea.  For almost all of these guys, this is the last chance they will get to play a serious team sport, and now they can do it for a living with NIL and rev share.  Even if they don't play much, it can be an amazing experience.  They should go for it.  They have the rest of their lives to be in the normal workforce.
