As teams are eliminated, the list will grow exponentially.

I mean its absolutely horrible what they did to both football and basketball. Is there no possible way for the window to open upon the conclusion of the season? Maybe I'm overlooking something but having the portal open during postseason play seems like an obvious mistake.

I remember in the MLB once where a player was traded during a doubleheader and played for other team in the second game. This all completely crazy. College athletics?

The NCAA? The final four is in early April. That means 3 to 6 weeks to be in or out depending on how your season turns out. Two less weeks than before, but 6 weeks is plenty time.

Is that the only option for dropping a tip to the staff if you get some advance inside info that seems reliable on a player intending to go portal?

Between this player and Ayden Evans, at least one needs to be rotation-ready in November. 2) A rotation-ready point guard Back to Top GraffZ06 General User Member Since: 1/5/2005 Location: Dayton, OH Post Count: 1,913 Status: Offline     RE: Portal starts up again March 18th    Posted: 3/15/2024 11:01:18 PM  shabamon wrote: Assuming we have only two scholarships remaining (IJ and the unfilled one) and everyone returns, I think we need 1) Another front court player.

Not that I understand us bringing in a 6'5 post player that nobody else recruited, but I guess it's the cost of doing business to get his brother here. If someone hears otherwise that Alex is going to be our 493rd walk-on, then I stand corrected and we'd have 2 ships available.

I really hope Alex is a walk-on. Adding a 6’5 dude to current roster returning makes zero sense. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top FJC31 General User Member Since: 3/31/2022 Post Count: 1,209 Status: Offline     RE: Portal starts up again March 18th    Posted: 3/16/2024 8:39:41 AM  GraffZ06 wrote: shabamon wrote: Assuming we have only two scholarships remaining (IJ and the unfilled one) and everyone returns, I think we need 1) Another front court player.

Which makes the JUCO outreach to both a PG and Nixon (6’7) check out; filling the needs you listed.

Are we all just assuming that? Out: Jaylin Hunter Miles Brown (open scholly) IJ Ezuma (presumably) In: Ayden Evans Jesse Burris Alex Evans (unless walk-on) Chase Boals (walk-on) I ask again, if Evans is indeed a walk-on, and we have 2 open schollies, then how many walk-ons are we keeping since we already have Corna and Estis? Might this be the last we see of the great Quinn Corna? Can't fathom having more than 3 walk-ons.

The Alex Evans thing is a mystery. It’s still possible he’s getting a football scholarship. Also possible he’s coming as a walk on that the NIL is paying for (Long shot. But bigger schools are doing this).

He's in the portal looking for a grad transfer season (?) Averaged around 15 & 8. Had 23 against Jason Terry's kid. Went to St. Charles in Columbus.

It looks like verbal commits is starting to charge for portal info if I looked at it correctly. That sucks if true. Anyone have other sites for up to the minute portal news? #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top greencat General User Member Since: 3/12/2005 Post Count: 2,055 Status: Offline     RE: Portal starts up again March 18th    Posted: 3/17/2024 7:46:39 PM  FearLeon wrote: Thinking MODS should pin this thread moving forward with the portal opening on the 18th.

On3 and 247 have free portal things. Sometimes the players don't show up instantly and there is no category for the ones who say "but I reserve the right to go back to my current school if needed" And there is no category for the ones in the portal looking at NBA options.

A silver lining to the MAC being so terrible this year is that I'm not sure a 3 seed that lost in the semis of the conference tournament is going to have to fight off majors for a ton of our roster. These are just wild guesses, but here's who I think are risks: -- Shareef Mitchell: he ended up here because he's close with Hunter, and wouldn't surprise me if he looks for a situation where he has a higher liklihood of a tourney berth. -- Elmore James: Hope it's not the case, but his role changed a lot post injury. Not sure how much of that was playing hurt, how much was Brown's return, but in the first 10 games he seemed like one of our best players. He kind of disappeared down the stretch. The team's needs are very, very clear. We need a lead ball handler and we need a big. But that lead ball handler's key. When I look at the roster for next year, hard to see where the offense is going to come from reliably.

When I look at the roster for next year, hard to see where the offense is going to come from reliably. Gillespie at Belmont would be that type of ball handler. He's in the portal. So is their leading scorer, Malik Dia but he's either going to a powerhouse program or turning pro. At least that's what people are saying.
