[pumpfake]

We're on the eve of chaos and I'm relying on all of you to tell me if we do well or poorly with portal shopping. I am serious.

It won’t be OSU. Feels click bait-y

Have always really liked Haralson’s talent but he’s basically a Point Forward with sketchy shooting who needs the ball. That’ll fit some teams for sure, not sure it would fit this one.

Kansas Power Forward Bryson Tiller to the portal. Started 31 games for the Jayhawks averaged 8ppg and 6rebs as a freshman could be primed for a big jump in year 2 will be in HIGH demand though. 

*IU was in the final four of his recruitment*

Keep in mind that for anyone we get, we either overpaid or no one else wanted them, or both.

LOL...we got Coach Cig.  And his team.  And his players.  And a National Championship.  Probably overpaid?  

Seriously, in any big transaction, the seller probably thinks they did not get enough.  And the buyer thinks that one paid too much.  

Just get whomever coach wants...within the budget.  It's all speculative for us fans.  That is all.

....maybe,.... but respectfully, I actually disagree. jmo 

Like someone posted on here a few days ago, if we have to overpay a player to come her, so be it......, as long is it's an investment in a starting, impact player that is BIG TEN ready. Bring em on!

And realistically let’s say they are right at budget but then someone that they REALLY want is available and they have one spot remaining I guarantee they can always get more if they wanted

Estrella officially in the portal.

IU connected to UK center Brandon Garrison. Hopefully just as a potential cheap depth piece had 20 vs OU and 17 vs LSU in the SEC but other than that? Woof not much there for a guy whose gonna be a senior. Season avg was 4.7ppg and 4.1rebs

Huge upside - excellent athlete. The kind of interior athleticism we desperately need.

If he's a quality locker room guy I'm 100% a yes.

That having been said, SMU has recently departed UK Assistant Hart who is close with Garrison. So SMU is the overwhelming favorite here.

Plan is to start only three guys and bring 12 off the bench.

This guy is a former top 40 recruit who has gotten progressively worse each year.

I realllllly want Burton and Estrella 

[JimmerNoe]

Is Estrella a four or a five? Would he need a big bodied presence to play alongside or would he essentially function as a primary big?
