Assuming Lendeborg is filling in the Wolf role this year.  

Exactly.  3 of the top bigs.  Decent odds one of Johnson/Lendeborg doesn’t end up at Michigan.  And if all 3 do.  Incredible job by Dusty!

Imagine what Woodson could have done if he had three bigs.  Wouldn't even need a three point line.

Michigan and Dusty just added Mara from UCLA. lol. I believe that gives him the #1 and #2 C in the portal.  Unreal. 

Where are you seeing Mara as the #2 ranked center in the portal? 

I guess it's splitting hairs, as your point that Dusty is killing it in the portal at least optically still stands, but a quick look at CBS's rankings (probably not the best but it popped up first) has Mara as the 7th ranked Center.

Villanova's Sasha Gavalyugov will enter the transfer portal, a source told ESPN. The 19-year old Bulgarian point guard averaged 19.4 points,6.0rebounds and 8.4 assists at last summers FIBA U18 European Championship Division B.

Mara is ranked the seventh center on 247 and fourth on On3.  I'm a fan of Mara's game but even I think those rankings are too high.  I think against certain teams with fast small personnel he can be neutralized.

And yes, he's definitely NOT the #2 ranked Center in the portal. Not sure where that came from?

He's a solid piece, especially if he's behind Lendebourg, Wolf and Johnson in their front court rotation. Though, I have a hard time believing all four of those guys end up there.

I am pretty sure Johnson is no longer going to UM. I think it was something about credits not transferring

No because most kids haven’t.

Wow, UCF Pg Dior Johnson is back in the portal. Dude is trying to put the record for schools attended completely out of sight. Went to something like 10 high schools and the next college he commits to will make, I believe, 5. Oregon, Pitt, a JC, UCF and whomever’s next.

Mgbako is on NC State campus today.  Sounds like they are confident in getting him and the Hollmann kid from Sparty

That feels like a pretty, uh, interesting fit given how complicated Wade’s defensive schemes are. So much communication needed.

He did a full UK visit and left without committing. So maybe Wade will guarantee him a starting role. Good luck with the locker room.

I think he’ll do okay in the ACC actually

Cade Tyson, 6'7" North Carolina wing.  Ended up being just an of the rotation guy for the Tar Heels (7.9 min, 2.6 pts, 1.1 reb) but was a very highly regarded transfer coming in.  Previous year at Belmont averaged 16.5 pts and 5.2 rebounds, shooting 47% from three (80 of 172).

Dior Johnson, UCF 6'3" freshman guard.  End of the rotation guy, 35 games, 8.5 mpg, 2.9 pts, shot 46/30/90.   Originally in the class of 22, 47th ranked player.  Redshirted in 22-23.  Was arrested and sentenced to probation and removed from the Pitt roster.  Went to a JUCO and was the 2024 #1 ranked JUCO player before enrolling at UCF.
