UK's dorms must be amazing. I can't imagine being a 5th year senior and living in a freaking dorm. 

The basketball "dorm" is amazing.  It's called Coal Lodge.  Every room is a single, rooms are huge, have large flat screen tvs, and the lodge has a private chef.  They built it back in 2012 and it skirts by NCAA scrutiny because the rule is that a dorm has to contain at least 50% non-athletic students.  Basically put a dozen regular students in and it's NCAA compliant.

I'm guessing those dozen regular students are NOT unattractive females.

Trilly Donovan indicates that Xavier is now in the mix for Paul Mulcahy.  Previously indicated that Gonzaga, Kentucky, Notre Dame, and Washington were under consideration.

Apparently very high odds it’s Kentucky

He will have played for four schools in his five years of eligibility (COVID year upcoming). He will finish his collegiate career with an impressive collection of swag! 

2019-21: UMass
2021-22: Texas
2022-23: West Virginia 
2023-24: Destination unknown (probably Kentucky) 

If in a few years, a 6-9 fellow is seen at the neighborhood Kroger with UMass shoes, Texas sweatpants, a Kentucky T-shirt and a West Virginia cap, you'll know who it is.

He's talented, don't know what happened to him. He's done okay, but far from what I would have expected.

I laugh. UK fans went from wanting Cal gone with this "CBI roster". Now with Reeves coming back and Tre Mitchell they are about to win their 9th National Title. Comical fan base.

Joe Toussaint also entered the transfer portal, per John Rothstein.  Spent three years at Iowa before playing last year at West Virginia.  6'1" guard, plus defender but not great offensively.  Over four years averaged 17 mpg, 6 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 2.8 apg.  Shot 39/30/78.

Ya beat me to the Toussaint one.  Kriisa is the better get, though.   However don't think he had much interest in coming to IU when he was in the portal.

So in your world Johnson is a captain, but not a starter?

Johnson probably starts but I'll wait to see if he is fully recovered.  I see the point you are making but I don't count him as a starter at the end of the last year, and therefore not a returning starter.  I know.  Splitting hairs.

Jeremiah Williams transferred to Illinois about a month ago;  he has now decommited and is back in the portal.  Williams played 20-21 and 21-22 at Temple, playing in 38 games (starting 37), averaging 31.8 minutes, 9.5 points, 2.8 reb, 3.5 ast, shooting 42/2764.  He transferred for the 22-23 season to Iowa State but suffered an ACL injury before the year started.  After the season, he re-entered the portal.

FWIW, Williams is allegedly tied up in the  Iowa and Iowa State gambling probe.  There was a warrant for a search of his residence prior to his commitment to Illinois. Sounds like either Illinois didn’t do their homework or more info is coming out.
