Utah Valley's coach has moved on to California just two days after they lost in the final four of the NIT.  Already three Utah Valley players in the portal;  only one of mention is La'Tre Darthard, 6'4" guard.  Averaged 13.8 ppg, 3.5 reb, 1.6 assists.  Shot 43/36/89.

A player to keep on eye on to see if they enter the portal from Utah Valley is Trey Woodbury.  Although he's not as tall, I'd compare him to Sam Griesel.

It's not just anyone... It's former 2x First Team Pac10 and 2x NBA CHAMPION... MARK MADSEN.

This.  It’s just like a horoscope so generic that it’s bound to happen. Then if it doesn’t. “Oh well kids change their minds” 

If you don't believe posters, don't believe them. That's totally fine. They're not hurting anyone by posting info they hear whether or not it's correct. It's not as though they're asking for money and it's not behind a paywall. Not sure why you're complaining.

people will always complain about this unfortunately. Kids change their minds it is what it is.

Let’s be honest rumors or possible inside information is what fuels these boards and allow them to exist…let’s all just enjoy it and see where this roster ends up. Go Hoosiers!!!

[IUFAN1976 3,490]

I think we need one more big and another wing type of player.  Just having Reneau and Sparks won’t be enough, IMO.

Yep everyone thought he was going to be Stanford’s next head coach but for some reason they kept their coach so he went to Cal

Not to get off topic, but personally I would have stayed at Utah Valley another year and checked my prospects next year than take the California job.  Mark Fox is a pretty good coach and he found out how hard it was to win there.

When Devin Askew is arguably your best player... You're gonna have issues.

I’m all for people posting info that they hear. But it’s important for people to be honest about whose info should be listened to. 
 

And besides this isn’t info. It’s idle musing for attention. 
 

Info is something like “ Caleb Love is going to commit this week or next”

Thats very different than 

“I’m hearing we should hear big news about a commitment soon”. 
 

Iirc the first time Chris007 made a prediction was Clif Marshall would be coming on board. It was out there and a bit crazy and then it happened. That was a specific verifiable piece of info.
 

He didn’t say “gonna be real interesting hire for strength and conditioning.”  That’s vague and attention seeking. 
 

If you can’t think of one thing that a person has been right about that’s fine but don’t call what they are peddling info. At best it’s rumors.

Wouldn’t it just be better if people stopped trying to leak “ insider news”? 
95% of the time it’s BS, the other 5% will be known for a fact within 48 hours anyway. It’s such a joke. If you need attention, seek it elsewhere. If you thrive off finding out a day or two before everyone else, get a life. 
I fully enjoy swapping sports opinions and discussing IU athletics but the obsession with recruiting is pathetic and a complete waste of everyone’s time.

Not portal news, but Armaan Franklin his last year and putting his name in the draft.

 I've spent a few hours trying to think of the best way to fix this problem and  think I have come upon a solution. If you don't click on the thread titled, "NCAA MBB Transfer Portal" you easily will avoid a subject you find "pathetic" and beneath you.That way you can save your energy and act superior in infinitely other threads.  If you are really looking to not have your time wasted, I suggest deleting the B'town Banners link and 99% of everything else you look at on the internet.

I read both boards and the crazy thing is he did say it was Love. It was like 3/4 posts later. He also said some crazy stuff is happening the night before all the Love talk started. Said a new name just showed interest.  Next morning was tons of Love talk and mutual interest. 

who know or cares if he is right 

Good post. RTZ has been correct on plenty of recruits/info whatever.. especially football. He certainly doesn't post info for attention.

Sorry. Hunter is definitely moving back East. I won't be surprised to see him at Maryland. But I do believe Love is coming to Bloomington.
