If it ends up being RJ, this is the one transfer I can't put any blame on Underwood. For how bad and for how long RJ played miserably, Underwood did nothing but publicly back the kid. And he continued to show that belief in his playing time as well. If RJ leaves after Underwood bent over backwards to help the kid, it would be mind-blowing to me.

If it is RJ, may be coach and him talked at length about future plans and they both agreed a split up was best for both parties, with no ill will towards each other. If it’s for sure RJ, it at least seems to the outsider, that he went through the process and has given a lot of thought to it instead of just entering the portal as soon as the season ended.

And those 7 are the only guys I even wanted … Hate to be that way but kids have no loyalty anymore so neither do I …

So...Dain, ColeHawk, TSJ, Sencire, Ty, Goode, and Moretti? Is that about right? I think that's still a pretty good core. Add in DGL and Hansberry, plus any portal additions (most needed obviously a PG, a shooter and a couple bigs), and I still think we could compete quite well with that roster.

DGL won’t get on the court if he can’t defend … Kid needs fully Fletched this summer …

Hansberry will play from day 1 … 15-20 minutes a game … Expect a Ty type of season from him next year …

As for portal … PG they want will be in portal “soon” I have heard … Brad wants a shooter … And a big …

Which, if true, would be a ton of returning production.

Alternatively, if TSJ and Hawkins stay in the draft it's our third total roster erasure in six seasons under BU

It's a moment of unsettlement and wobbly tectonic plates at Ubben. It's the hope that kills you.

Is the Buie dream dead since he declared for the draft while maintaining eligibility?

Wild. I feel like the list of potential PG's with some/any portal buzz that are not yet in it who are then *also* hands down, obviously preferable to a guy of Boo's caliber is an extremely short one.

Like, Tyger and I don't even know who else.
