This just sounds like click bait!

It’ll be hilarious to see both sides backtrack if he decommits and goes to IU. Michigan fans will have always knew he was a headcase and IU fans will know that he was always coached wrong and Woody is the key to his success.   

I mean I wanted him anyways... Always felt Woodson could have helped him the most with what he's done for Xavier Johnson.

Both could be true.

From a strictly talent standpoint.....he's a plus defender.  Question is on if offensively he can be under control.  I do think the worst situation he can go to is Michigan where Howard doesn't really have a system that looks for great shots.  My prediction would be for him to shoot about 40% overall and 32% from three this upcoming year under normal conditions.  Those are livable shooting rates if he distributes well and plays the defense that he seems capable of playing.  If he's at Michigan, though?  Think he is given too much wiggle room and he takes too many shots and I'd predict under 40/32.

16 have entered the portal in the last three hours.  Gonna have to sift through to see how good they are.

Jaylin Sellers from Ball State entered.  6’4” shooting guard, three years eligibility left.  13.5 ppg, 37 rpg.  Excellent three point shooter.  Shot 45% over two seasons (78 of 174).

I sort of landed in the opposite spot, but don’t feel real strongly about it. He’s talented. When you take a player like that you’re betting on yourself as a coach to be able correct the bad and highlight the talent. Whom am I to say if Woody, or Howard, can do that here?

I agree with everything above. But I am certain Howard can’t do it.

Just wanted to give you a shout out. You have posted a lot of stats and scouting reports on players entering in the portal. It hasn’t gone unnoticed! Thanks!

Seems extra painful to lose a player to the portal late in the game

For Ball State and Michael Lewis, a loss this late for a player like Jaylin Sellers is tough to deal with.  He'll likely be a role player if he goes to a P5 school, spot shooter getting some minutes.  At Ball State, he's a starter and would likely have been their leading or second leading scorer.

Caleb Love personally shot down the rumors this evening and Rabjohns retweeted his response. So, I guess this rumor can be put to bed.

I think you will see others say IU is the leader soon. Yes, that is a hunch but fair amount of connections for us.

Good find on Tate but he also thinks they lead for every guy they are interested in. Slick Rick is not doing well at landing the better guys.  Will see if he can start to change that. I think he might be regretting clearing house. He also made a comment that this is the hardest he has had to ever work. 
 

I also think you will see knew names tied to us from NBA in a few more days as withdraw dates nears and some of these guys don’t have a home or want to go back. 

I don't know anything about Tate Frazier, but know that if every player that had been a true St. John's lean whenever a media guy said they were, they'd have a hell of a team.  Doesn't seem to be happening right now.

Poor guy.

He may have to drink an extra quart of blood this week.

Rick and St. John's do have a recruiting asset.  The Big East is arguably the best basketball conference in the land.

Very minor news, but Wilhelm Breidenbach will be taking his goggles with him and transferring from Nebraska.

He’s a lefty from Georgia. Woody may be contractually obligated to offer him.

Ismael Massoud (formerly from K State) commits to Georgetown.

Elijah Fusher (Texas Tech) transfers to DePaul

Zuby Ejiofor from Kansas enters the portal.  6'9" power forward.  Played in 25 of the Jayhawks 36 games, averaged 5 minutes per game with 1.2 ppg and 1.7 rpg.  My guess is it's most likely a response to the Hunter Dickinson signing as opposed to any developments with Mgbako.  At best he was set to be Kansas's fourth big in the pecking order behind Dickson, KJ Adams, and Ernest Udeh.
