That’s how that program is going to be it looks like.    They have the NIL money to bring whoever they want basically but underwood isn’t for everyone and by the looks of it they will transfer out just as fast 

Just don’t see that satisfying the locals for very long. The Illinois fanbase has a little IU fanbase to it in the sense of tradition. 

Obviously that all changes if he ever does anything in March, but early returns are not great there.

This one will be interesting: Auburn’s Chance Westry enters the portal. Top 50ish ‘22 wing who hurt a knee in the fall, had a scope, came back for a minute and then shut it down. 6’6” slasher/defender/secondary facilitator. Not a great shooter, but really good getting downhill and finishing.

They had a big man leave as well today

So we'd be getting two 20 year old players for one scholarship, yes?

Get old, stay old. lol

Saw that. Traore is a big-time athlete. Just got stuck behind Broome and when he did play the hands and mental processing were major issues.

I'm a fan.

The guy doesn't need the ball and he can move really well for an oversized guy. 

While I see the attraction for getting more athletic, I hope we move on this one.

Last year, Missouri was the frontrunner when he entered

Portal Kombat is a great phrase for it all.  Credit to Rothstein I guess.  Anyway, the days of collegiate basketball are long over.   This is semi-pro basketball with college logos on the jerseys.

Sounds like a mass exodus from SJUBB

Being the nitpicker that I am, he's really not a portal transfer since he's still a HS senior but all is forgiven.

Couldn’t find the 2023 page lol

Sharp’s HC at John A Logan is an Assitant to Dennis Gates.

Perhaps the best players come from HS but it's looking more and more like the best teams come from the portal.

Absolutely. And the dichotomy is why you need to be able to work in both domains.

If you only play in the portal, you miss on some of the best players, either 1ADs (JHS) or multi-year players who don’t pique NBA interest as highly (TJD).

But the portal gives you a shot at smoothing roster upheaval, weathering an early departure, finding the exact role player that HS Recruit A never developed into, etc.

And as Kopp said in his 100 things list, guys might choose school 2 for a different reason than 1.

Also, consider that the current arrangement is exacerbated by extra COVID years.

So I would assume Missouri is the frontrunner again
