    If I’m not mistaken, you have to be in the portal by 1 May so we have 7 days which includes grad transfers. Not saying magic won’t happen but I’d imagine we’ll start getting the tempering of expectations posts soon.

    I found its pretty interesting how FL came in and none of the insiders try to contradict what he says, and he implied that all the information we were getting was what the staff wanted to be put out. OA comes onboard and it falls silent almost immediately :ROFLMAO:

    Ten days till the portal closes, seems like it should be a busy week. If we don’t see anything soon I’d imagine we will see a moving of the goal posts on expectations.

    the most PPG returning from last years team is Ty with 6. Going into last season we had TSJ and CH returning. I know we are expecting more players but I don’t see anyone who replaces any of our top 4 in scoring yet

    put it in the recruiting thread, but might be wrong place. Are we looking at bringing anyone in to help with the defense?

    Outside of recruiting players, is BU looking at bringing anyone on staff to help with the defense?

    Kalkbrenner would be a massive get. The silence from those in the know keeps me intrigued or maybe I missed it. There are insiders on the Creighton board who says he is going to test the NBA waters, and if he isnt a go, wants to transfer somewhere he can make big $$$. Wonder what University...

    Thinking this could be a big QG game. They are going to trap, and you know they are going to focus on TSJ/MD/CH, he should have some open lanes and open shots, not too mention some put back dunk opportunities.

    Or Maybe your D was getting absolutely crushed, and he didnt need to score that much? See below if you need a refresher on how good the D was, gave up 91 then 81. Second game TSJ had 12 and four other guys on TT scored in double figures.
