Sure, there's 6 teams in the NIT right now and the CBI tournament is wrapping up now, so that's 8 total. Probably a few more. My point still stands, and you are still pedantic as hell lol. Surprised people on your ignored users list can still quote you

Yes I had to look up pedantic definition below.  LOL you are so right!!!

Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.

Where the heck did he come from, already down to a top 5. 

A lot going on behind the scenes....I REALLY REALLY REALLY Hope this staff pulls off a haul in the portal...MAKE MARCH FUN AGAIN!

Got to keep in mind some of these kids are going to use other schools to bump up their NIL offers from other schools up.  Not saying this kid is going that but it wouldn’t surprise me

80% chance he ends up in the B1G?

Adou Thiero in the portal......would assume that IU will reach out as he was recruited by IU and it came down to IU and Kentucky and he seemed to have ended up at Kentucky because of his dad.  6'7ish wing who can defend multiple positions.  Was not much of a three point threat under Kentucky (shot 32% last season on just 22 attempts) but in high school he made 134 of 376 from deep (36%).  Made 19 starts at Kentucky last year, averaging 21 minutes and about 7 points and 5 rebounds.  Outstanding athlete.  Again, IU will still need to bring in shooters but as a backup 2/3/4 he's a good d and rebound guy.  Also blocked over a shot per game last year.

Don’t think he plans on being a back up to anybody.

I don’t get this.  Started a bunch at Kentucky, a team that underperformed with an early exit.  Why would he come to a team that struggles to get to the tournament, as a backup?

Imagine he’ll end up back in Philly. Maybe Nova.

Maybe he won't.  But I am sure IU will touch base because he was really close to coming to IU two years ago.  

In terms of performance, they certainly exited early but they didn't underperform in the regular season.  They started the year ranked 16th and ended the year ranked 12th.  The truth is that if he were to return to Kentucky, he would be pretty much guaranteed a starting role again on a team that would be top 25, yet he's leaving.  If it were simply about playing a lot and winning, he'd be staying.  Quite a few guys that enter the portal do so because they simply don't like where they are playing/the coach/etc.

Maybe, although if it goes back to recruiting roots the only Pennsylvania school that was expressing interest before was Pittsburgh.  He did take an official visit to Maryland in high school.

Because Calipari, his coaching staff, and the revolving door locker room at Kentucky are high drama and not much fun to hang out with, and there's now unlimited places to get paid.

Scratch this one off. A shame.

Damn.

Other than West Virginia, a real southern list.  Might like the warm weather.

I will say that the two things that concerned me were his height and that his three point shooting percentages jumped all over the map in his four years -- 40% his freshman year, 21% his sophomore year, 32% his junior year, 43% his senior year.  

Still in need of a point guard and shooters.  Hopefully positive developments with Hickman this weekend.

We did, but Purdue twidiots took to X to say how it wasn't a good pickup.

Sorry, meant Tucker.  Not sure why I typed Young.

Yeah, but IU has toxic fans.   :)

If he wants to leave there are bunches of programs he can play for.
