Portal is wild.   Texas got 3 kids committed from it yesterday and then today lost Mitchell and Hunter 

Mitchell’s the quintessential YouTube all-American. Remember listening to Biancardi gushing over him at Montverde and thinking, “You do know the kid can’t play, right?”

Horrible look for Pope because Z had said he was going to sit down with pope before deciding if he would withdraw from the portal and come back to Kentucky — and Z would have fit in Pope’s system.

He sat down with Pope today and told him he was going to Hogville with Cal.

I’m sure he did but he was already in the portal and then said he wanted to hear Pope’s pitch.

Connor McCaffrey to Butlef makes sense now….since his girlfriend will be playing with the Fever.

Wrong McCaffrey, her boyfriend works for the Pacers

Patrick went to Butler, not Connor.

Tyrese Hunter and Dillion Mitchell from Texas have hit the portal?

[Demo 17,624]

Barely played as a freshman and then redshirted last year. Had brief cursory IU interest ages ago. From the Chicago area, I believe. Maybe Northwestern?

Solid thought process.

This is a fun one. Had an IU offer under Archie. It appears IU is the only offer he’s never gonna accept.

In theory that's your stretch 4 off the bench

Interesting tweet from Kopp on the portal... 

A few things from the picture that stand out:

• He had 2 bigs as a question mark for IU, same with team chemistry and the B10
• He had "good PG" as a positive for IU (lol) 
• Also listed the "NBA offense" and "values shooting" as positives for IU. 
• In that first picture, Utah actually ranks more highly on the criteria he was considering but the appeal of the "stage" at IU was too much for him to pass up, keeping in mind that he ultimately was responsible for his own individual success

$$ is a primary motivator in this market, as it should be, I suppose... But I look forward to a more sustainable environment some day.
