We got 6 ppg from our PG and we will get double that from boswell at the very least. 9 PPG from Gurriere at the 4... Which I think Booth can top (or should). And our 6th man Harmon averaged a whopping 5 points. Tre White/DGL/morez/Goode are all going to score more than that this year. It will most likely be more spread out than last year but if we don't get Storr we should be alright.
Looking at average ranking score still leaves you with Kansas State, Villanova, Arkansas, Ole Miss, some teams that were already good and didn't have many holes to fill, and the teams I already mentioned.If you sort that by average ranking score it tells a different story. West Virginia had 9 kids in the transfer portal but they were pretty lowly ranked kids so they didnt move the needle last year.
I'm not saying it's the end all be all but I'm saying that there is a strong correlation while you feel the correlation is rather weak.
Let's just agree to disagree how meaningful rankings are.
Make no mistake this is a reload.
If a rebuild means top 10 ranking in the country...sure. Wow, some will never be happy.
I prefer a Bitchin' Camaro.Found one ---> Bitchin' Bonneville
Does anyone know from past commitment tweets whether the players’ numbers are the ones they chose or are those random jerseys just for pics?
me too.A small part of me is in this camp too. We have a really, really good player with Boswell, but then a lot of role players and/or pieces that still need to be developed. The amount of production out of those guys is always a wait and find out approach. I'd put Maddox in that category as well. We seem to be chasing a guy that we won't really be sure of what we're getting(if gotten)
If we don't get at least two PROVEN scorers at the high D1 level....this sure feels like a low floor/solid ceiling group.
Keeping my fingers crossed that we're going to see some high profile guys coming our way.
I sincerely hope you are right, but I still have serious doubts.Na man. John Groce is coaching Akron, and Bruce works for BTN. We back!

Man, those late 1990s and early 2000s Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles had absolutely ruthless engines. I've owned two other V6s since then (I've got a turbo Outback Wilderness that can hold its own) and while my Nissan Maxima probably had the best horsepower and drive of anything I've had the pleasure of...steering...my Oldsmobile Intrigue could RUMBLE, man.I heard the Bonneville crapped out and Domask has a newer whip. At one point I was an owner of a Pontiac Grand Prix of the same era, I feel the pain.
So...you're suggesting that portal recruiting is at a...crossroad?Kris Parker, Crossroad Academy , Small Forward

It’s a little known fact that Pontiac actually died in 1766. He was known as Chief Obwaandi’eyaag by the Odawa People. He was reportedly clubbed to death on a St.Louis street by the Nephew of Blackdog for a pint of whiskey.There is no such thing. Pontiac died in 2009.
Maddox just committed to Xavier, who is next?So...you're suggesting that portal recruiting is at a...crossroad?
I am not a mechanic (IANAM), but it sounds like you had a hole in your muffler.Man, those late 1990s and early 2000s Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles had absolutely ruthless engines.

Storr himself wasn't that kind of player last year. He is being a bit overrated by this process, he's really good, but his skills are all the flashy and obvious ones, he's not a complete two-way player.I think getting Storr is critical, or at least someone else with that scoring talent. To be an elite again we need someone who can turn around a game by themselves like TSJ, Ayo, and Kofi could.
+1 for understanding the reference!I prefer a Bitchin' Camaro.

That's an unfortunate story and sad ending for Pontiac. But my question is -It’s a little known fact that Pontiac actually died in 1766. He was known as Chief Obwaandi’eyaag by the Odawa People. He was reportedly clubbed to death on a St.Louis street by the Nephew of Blackdog for a pint of whiskey.

The primary reason people are saying "he's not an EDG" is because he wants to get paid. Is there really something wrong with getting paid your market value?I understand the view that Storr is a tough wing to defend but I just don't see him as an EDG or someone giving 125%. Am I wrong thinking that? Surely Wisconsin would have wanted to keep him and up his NIL money to do so. I may be wrong but I think there is more behind the scenes and hopefully Brad would set that expectation early in the discussions. I don't want Mayer 2.0 or someone bad for the locker room. From behind the TV, the team attitude seemed top notch last year.

Donuts on my lawn!I prefer a Bitchin' Camaro.
I don't disagree in full, which is why I pointed out that I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a substantial addition to be implemented into the roster.We only had one "PROVEN scorer at the high D1 level" heading into last year and we were just fine.
All this hand wringing before the portal even closes is wild, to me.
I'm not directing at this at any individual poster, but man, I feel bad for these types of people. Life seems like it would be much more stressful when it's lived this way.
Buck’s practice highlights were pretty similar. How is this guy’s defense?Some practice highlights for your viewing pleasure - because that's what the portal recruiting has become - watching practice highlights for kids who redshirted last year - in all seriousness, this kid obviously has a lot of talent
