Portal is steaming towards 1000. Currently at 976. That is D1 only. I believe D2 is around 600.

Moffatt has exhausted his eligibility also. Thomson also. That is a lot of front court firepower to replace. I thought they had some decent young wings this year.

Dreams/delusions of bigger things. Probably expecting too much from a teenager, but a Harvard degree is going to open more and better doors than 99 percent of the kids playing major college ball will get to see. I might go out and buy a powerball ticket, but I'm not going to sell my future short counting on it to hit Both Mack and Perkins and their families must have arrived at that conclusion before committing to Harvard and Penn. Obviously something has changed since then.

That is at least two star frosh guards from the Ivies that have entered the portal. If the Ivies start having problems retaining underclassman, that doesn’t bode well for low and mid majors.

JMU coach is headed to Vanderbilt. That didn’t take long after the Dukes final whistle of the season.

I forget what the injury was but he did receive a medical redshirt his first year at Rutgers.

Rutgers Basketball F Antonio Chol set to enter the transfer portal By Richie O'Leary, Publisher via RichieSRivals, 03/15/2024 Late Thursday night, The Knight Report confirmed the report that Rutgers Basketball forward Antonio Chol will enter the transfer portal with the intent to play elsewhere. Chol was originally a late addition to the 2022 recruiting class, committing to the Scarlet Knights in late July just before the team started training, coming over from Minnesota Prep Academy. The 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward chose Rutgers in the end over five other offers from Akron, Buffalo, Loyola-Marymount, New Mexico and St. Bonaventure. He was also drawing some interest from Marquette and Tennessee. Now Chol didn't play much in his two seasons with the...

Brian Earl is the new head coach at William & Mary. I think a lot of people that know hoops will see this as W&M hitting a home run.

I am delighted to see the presumed "top dogs" get their comeuppance. What is so great about the Big Dance is haughty gasbags like Jay Bills and even worse, the late Billy Packer, get their bubbles burst.

At least 2 kids committed to new schools 3-4 days after entering the portal in the last week. Looks a little suspicious as in perhaps a lot was going on behind the scenes before they announced they were going to transfer.

Is this the beginning of the end for those fans that merely buy season tickets and make the most modest of donations to the program? Not being critical of you folks doing all that you can to keep the program competitive; my anger is with the behemoths that created this new world. One of the coolest things for me in being a fan is the connection I've experienced over the years in getting to know the players (and their parents) a little through both events and informal conversations. Not sure I want to sell an organ just to maintain a connection going forward. Again, to you guys putting it together, no offense intended. Just seems like sweat equity isn't going to mean much anymore. On the flip side, (and I am not a fan of NIL), maybe the efforts of the Collective will help keep players and parents, at HC for four years.

In an all too familiar story, Merrimack's Northeast Conference POY plans to enter the portal after his sophomore year.

Siena fires Carm Machiarelo (we should have won that opener) after 4 win season Just checked the Siena board and they have 260 people logged in. They do have a rabid fan base. Seven frosh and sophs from Siena enter the portal.

Name the two people in the photo who went to high school together and name the high school and name that high school's most famous connection to HC. How about Spanarkel and Okoren. I am going to guess it is a Catholic HS in Jersey City and the alum is Tom Heinsohn. HS might be Union Catholic.

SMU and Ron Meyer got the death penalty for its football program 40-50 years ago for some stuff that is now considered acceptable.

Vicens and Potter say "Hello". Not even close in terms of success on the court. And who was Mr. Kaftan's running mate? My post said “frontcourt(4 and 5)” That means power forward and center. Michael was the small forward and various centers played with them, the best being John O’Connor. Marty Halsey was a pretty good center for two years with Chris and Michael.

Bearded Strongman! At least his junior year, he fit that description. That is what I was thinking when I said he reminded me of Gene Doyle. I don’t think he comes anywhere near Doyle in terms of basketball talent.
