"Portal Kombat" is funny. 

Looks like the B1G should be down this year, but the 4 new teams are a whole new dynamic, so who knows. 

MSU, OSU, Purdue, Minnesota, Wisconsin all should drop off. 

 

 

[Stuhoo 78,426]

247 portal top 150

Indiana pulls numbers 2, 17, 26, and 135.

Super impressive.

Toibu Lawal (VCU) commits to Virginia Tech.  Really like his game.

[RaceToTheTop 24,660]

Not really a portal entry, but if IU interest.  Top 125 incoming 6’5” guard Jonathon Powell requests a release from his NLI to Xavier.  Had an IU offer.  Believe he played with Cupps in high school.

Sean Stewart to Ohio State.  
 

they lost a fair amount but gained high ceiling front court.  Nice looking roster on paper.  

[RaceToTheTop 24,660]

Interesting case -- Bewley twins are in the portal.  They signed with Chicago State last year (I am sure they ended up there largely because their eligibility was in question and Chicago State could afford to have the open spots if they didn't become eligible).

NCAA is still ruling them ineligible as the case makes it through the courts.  Their crime?  Making money off of their name, image, and likeness while playing for Overtime Elite -- about $31,000 more than the expenses to cover beyond their education, room, board, and travel expenses.  Seems very strange because they basically are saying that players can't profit from their name, image, and likeness UNLESS it is done when they are in college.

Don’t know if the price tag is true….if so, he is nowhere near being worth that.

Would be the dumbest decision ever.  Ballo only got 1.2 million and he is way better.

VERY incomplete list of centers still in the portal and the 247 center ranking.  Some may have signed and 247 hasn't posted yet.

Don't see NK and Hatton on the list but there are lots of oversights -- particularly if a player didn't have a recruit ranking coming out of high school.  FWIW, Hatton is listed as the #28 overall center in that entered the portal by On3.  Will be creating a separate list for power forwards as some guys that play the 4 or 5 get listed as 4's.

On three point shooting, I only gave totals if there was a significant number of threes taken.

Thanks for the info.  How many years of eligibility do each of them have.  I think we should look at 3 things:

1) Are they already used to playing less than 20 minutes per game.

2) Do they have 2-3 years of eligibility left

3) Do they have the potential to improve.

[RaceToTheTop 24,660]

Added in years of elibility left and minutes played each season.  Also added Hatton and NK since we've contacted.

Baylor adds Norchad Omeir and Drake releases the worst diss track of all time within the same hour. These are mutually exclusive but noteworthy nonetheless.

It appears quite likely that the final frontcourt piece is going to be Langdon Hatton from Bellarmine (and North Harrison High School). I have never seen him play but he's 6'10" and understands the role he is going to have (backup 4 occasionally, backup 5 occasionally) and is at least a minor threat to knock down a three every now and then. 

That would leave the last scholarship for Alex Hemenway, if he wants it. 

Terrific job by all involved (NIL, Mike Woodson, coaching staff, support staff, returning players as recruiters) this spring to build a roster that is way better on paper than I thought it would be.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,164]

Purely FYI from Inside The Hall - 

78 men's basketball scholarship players from Big Ten schools entered the transfer portal this spring. Of those 78, only 20 still remain in the portal.

I'm not sure I'd use the word "only" in that context. That's over 25%. Players from the B1G shouldn't have trouble finding new places to play but it looks like a quarter of them are. Some of them might just being selective and taking their time to decide but I doubt all of that 25% are. Some of them probably aren't getting traction from schools that they think they should be able to play for. This goes in line with the B1G not being very good last year.

[Napleshoosier 10,069]

It’s all a mix of starters, bench, ego’s and money!  Go figure.  Stir in the fact that these are kids with no or very little experience in life.  Interesting mess for sure.  What about the ones who entered the portal and don’t find a place to land?  No more scolly?  Greed can cause all kinds of problems………..

Players are sometimes pushed into the portal, they don't always go in because of greed. I'd say any players who can't find a new team because no one thinks they're good enough would likely fall into that group.

I believe over 50% of those who entered the portal haven’t committed anywhere so the Big Ten’s 25% is good…especially when it goes down further for guys like Coleman Hawkins are technically in but are almost surely staying in the draft.
