Is it just me and my impatience but shouldn’t we have at least 1 commitment from the transfer portal 

To date it's been reported we've had some kind of contact with 30 players.  6 of the 30 have made decisions.  Several jumped into the portal virtually on day 1 and they still haven't announced a home.  Portals only officially been open since March 18.  Yeah, I agree it would be nice for optics to have already locked one up but there's still more players that will hit the portal early next week.   I won't get nervous for another 10-14 days.

Would think that Leland Walker will be our first.

And I’m good with that.

Wow. Not surprised he’s staying but really surprised he’s not going through the pre-draft process. Great news. The kid can get to work now.

Best news yet this offseason IMO. One and done was the goal... but "two and through" will do 

This is huge for next year's team. Let's get some studs in the backcourt + a rim protector, and roll.

Trilly also saying that he’s hearing more IU for Perkins. But lots of Michigan for Essegian

With all of the smoke regarding Perkins to IU why the hell is he on an OV to Mizzou today and not to IU? Are we waiting in hopes that Thornton enters? Scratching my head.

Because there is smoke, not fire.

There is always a lot of smoke surrounding the IU program. Some true some false. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out by September 2024.

Man, if he’s visiting Missouri he really doesn’t care about being on a winning program

When you were his age, would you have taken a free, all expense paid for and fully catered visit somewhere if they call and asked you, or would you just decline.

Or at my age, it would be like having my vacation spot picked out and booked. Then another resort calling and say “hey we will pay for everything, but come check out our resort”.

But we got a jump on many schools because we denied the NIT we probably wasn’t going to anyway, I’m only talking about 1.  There were players that committed to schools that still in the tournament 

Tucker committed.  Personally, I don't care in March/April whether a player was in the portal or was a high school player, spring signings are spring signings.

[RaceToTheTop 24,161]

LOL.  Tyme (cough Ngw) just deleted all of his tweets except for the one saying he 'called' Mgbako coming back and that so called 'insiders' have a goal of hurting the program and getting Woody fired.

Sad, bitter little man.

Joe Tipton -

South Dakota State transfer guard Zeke Mayo tells @On3sports he's currently focusing on four schools: Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and Creighton

I would at least like to see at least 1 commit soon.  You think with that amount of money, at least 1 would have committed or will soon
