Sounds like that from who? Here the dialog is its a two horse race with MSU an umSounds like we are an underrated player for Townsend…
Sorry, but do you think Coach, staff, and boosters are telling recruiters to spend more time in the library or the gym?1. Transfer portal is not preventing any kid from getting a college degree. Just a degree from a different school.
2. Kids that drop out early entirely have career prospects that don’t care for a college degree.
I'm praying on the Braden Smith downfall tour next year. Dump down assist merchant, good 3 point shooter but let's see when he's not wide open multiple times a game because of Edey drawing a double/triple team.Should be very interesting to see how good Purdue is without Edey. He was their scoring, rebounding and defense.

same one that almost beat us this year too... I think he is a huge upgrade from Howard...The same Dusty May that turned around a s***hole of a program and coached a mid-major to the Final Four? Not sure why people are so quick to discount him.
I think we'll be worse this year even if the portalling goes terrific. Just hard to be Elite 8 good losing all the talent we are. That said, it's very possible that in 2 years we may just be better than this past year if everything breaks right. I also have PSU likely being better- they were a young team with some talent, Iowa being the same if not better as they also had some young talent. Maryland almost has to be better, but they're losing a lot, and I still don't know how it's even possible they were so bad this year with all the talent they had, so you're likely right there. Other than that, I agree with your tiersBetter
Michigan
Ohio State
Indiana
Rutgers (massive wildcard - probably worse to start and better at the end)
Same or Portal TBD
Penn State
Maryland (maybe better?)
Michigan State
Illinois
Nebraska
Worse
Minnesota
Iowa
Wisconsin
Purdue
NW
Still Don't Believe in Big Ten
Washington
USC
UCLA
Oregon
Some of this basic regression - Michigan and Ohio State are going to bounce back. Purdue and Illinois are likely to fall back towards the pack. A lot of this shows the trends of NIL and booster funds in action.

To the initial post about worrying about them being great next year, the question is whether they can make it rain in the portal and have everything click immediately.Michigan is replacing an epically bad coach with a guy who had FAU as an 8-seed the year after he took them to a Final Four. All the ‘Dusty-mid’ talk is serious copium.
You spelled "minutes" wrong.Should have a bit of news coming the next couple of days (not referring to Maddox here)
illini0440 said he wasn't seeing the offensive improvement. That said his practice cutting room floor edits were straight fire.In regards to Harris, I seem to remember reports (I believe from at least one insider) that he was making great progress on his offensive skills. Maybe just not enough progress?
OA is coming backBooth?
By gawd, that's Alex Legion's music!That said his practice cutting room floor edits were straight fire.
They'll be better than last year for sure, but that's not saying much.I have a sick feeling Michigan is going to be very good this coming season
