Carmel, IN HS graduate.

Belmont forward Sam Orme, a 2nd Team All MVC Selection, intends to enter the transfer portal, a source tells @247Sports. Averaged 12.7 PPG, 5.0 RPG and 1.8 APG this season, shooting 39.7% from three. Repped by CAA Sports.

I'm a fan of this if the stars align. And no, every tall skinny shooter is NOT Reed Bailey. Though some might be.

Orme is a much better shooter than Bailey. If the plan is to actually have Orme play his natural position in a depth or rotational role, then no qualms with this. But have to wonder if Orme is at the expense of Sisley?

I assume that Sisley is bouncier. I also assume that we can have two 6'7-8" shooters on the court at once.

In terms of how many players have entered the portal versus how many will but haven't declared yet -- last year there wear 34 players rated by 247 as a 94 or better;  this year, so far there are 6 rated 94 or better.  Stands to reason that 80 to 85% of the players that are going to enter have not entered yet.

Sisley definitely more athletic but neither can dribble and both pretty much relegated to the 4 spot. They seem redundant on the floor together but who knows.

I suppose but only 16 teams are left playing (ok maybe a few others in the NIT/Crown are left).  Might be some slim pickins in the portal this year.  Hopefully things pick up.

This is where we unofficially land players that will enter with a no contact tag.

How much would Henri Vaseer cost I wonder?

The number of players in the portal has increased every year since NIL.  I don't see any reason that is going to change.

Peegs just put a story up confirming Sisley is staying.

That is fantastic news. Trent Sisley is pretty much a canary in the coalmine as to whether team culture and staff development was up to par or dysfunctional last season.

My other hopeful tell? On senior night, every departing player, even Conerway, gave a hug to and posed for family pictures with Devries. Never saw that with Archie - methinks most players kinda hated lil' Arch.

What is worse is a coach who left the court and not even stayed for the pictures....like Woodson.

I remember in their speeches some players not even mentioning or thanking Miller. That's even more telling than public picture taking.
