Well since we probably don't get anything today (according to Jerry) my question is how many of our players announce today their intention of entering the transfer portal. 

my guess is the AD is going to let the guys enter / announce they are going into the portal with the idea they will have a coach in place and able to meet with them and discuss possibility of withdraw (If the coach / player wants that) before they would be able to commit.

Though I think a vast majority of guys on the roster are gone and probably already know where they are going.

Portal opens 1 week from today. Can they even enter until then?

True.  There's no one I can't see looking to leave for one reson or another.  The combination of building a mercenary roster and having a lousy coach doesn't promte roster stability.

They can announce their intentions on entering . Many have already done so, also this is the wild west now-a-days many of them have agents that can talk with other schools before they get busy with the tournament so they can hit the ground running when that team is eliminated / the portal officially opens.

But also not sure of Woodson's Official last day on the job and if that applies to the "fired/resigned coaching rule" That allows players of that school to enter the portal early. like UVA and Miami players did

There is no real equivalent to Shams in college basketball so it’s hard to understand his role unless you follow the NBA. He (and before him, a guy named Woj) broke every major NBA story. Like, every single one. NBA fans don’t believe something is true until Shams says it. He’s not like a Goodman type—if Shams says it’s someone, it’s a done deal. 
 

If it’s going to be an NBA guy, Shams will be the source. When people wonder why stuff hasn’t leaked from the Celtics side, they’re talking about Shams. 
 

(Side note: Woj retired to become the GM at St. Bonaventure, where he’s an alum.)

Agree....to me you need those high school kids who WANTED to come to your program from day one to be your anchors....anchor the team to the university, to the community, etc...to be bridges to those portal players (MERCS) who come in just for the dough. Just my opinion

@SlammySammy you got to change your avatar! That is @jepwatso and I just can’t have 2 of the same in here! That will completely screw my system up! Lol

Now I'm imagining Dr. Brule pronouncing some of the candidate's names (Brawn ole-what’s-eez-name).  Otzelberger would be a disaster.

Guys I hate to break it to you, but Scott hasn’t done chit yet.  Maybe he and the firm made a list or something, but nothing specific has been done.  Nobody has been directly talked to.  No contracts drafted. Nothing.   While other schools have announced hires, IU is behind.   No way Scott keeps it this quiet.  He doesn’t have that power vs a big money booster or agent.  If it was anyone of any note It would have been announced or at least leaked already. Face it, the new guy has to get started.  Today, the entire team will enter the portal.   And while it’s not “officially” open, they will be contacted.  Renue, Tucker, and the two guards will be gone.  The new guy will have a team of zero.  Waiting because Mediocre Mike’s feelings will be hurt is a mistake.  Waiting to tell the Celtics or whomever is a mistake.   We had an opportunity to get a head start and it’s blown.  It’s a typical IU cluster farque.
