I doubt Porter is there long with his kids off to the NBA. Why would he even want to be there at that point?
Your selective quoting of coaches win totals for their first few seasons reminded me of the times when posters would post Coach K’s win totals for his first few years as concrete evidence that Groce was one more year away from turning this around. Good memories.
Still can't believe Mack is heading for Louisville with all of the bs that is surrounding the bball program
so thats 5 boys and 2 girl Porters. Thats alot of b-ball talent in one family....and it appears they are locked into Mizzou family. Dad Porter's individual development of his kids is pretty impressive.The Porter's have 3 younger sons that will be coming up. Plus Mike and Jontay have two older sisters who play/played on the women's team. Their aunt is the women's head coach. Columbia has always been home for them. Don't see them leaving. They wanted to get back to Columbia while they were in Seattle
How many scholarships do we keep open for the class of 2019??
Good question. I’ll put the over under at 1.5. 4 open now, 5 if Vesel leaves. Def expecting to add PG and wing. Can’t imagine BU would leave 3 open - very short bench. staff casts wide net recruiting and makes a lot of offers, some of which seem to materialize quickly. In addition to bringing in PG and wing for position balance, I’d expect to bring in a JC or fifth year who can contribute immediately and will provide some class balance- so we don’t have 6+ freshmen in the class.

Time for some IllinoisLoyalty after dark. There is some chatter on social media that we may be hearing some positive news about Ramey later today.
Frank Martin jumping in the Ramey sweepstakes rather late with a visit to Ramey yesterday. Maybe Frank is getting guidance from Tugs Bowen on how best to recruit ex-Louisville commits.
Martin isn't just starting the process. He has been to see him before.
Yeah, if I would have checked 247, I would have seen he's been there a couple of times before.
Excellent attempt at starting a rumor, nice work.Time for some IllinoisLoyalty after dark. There is some chatter on social media that we may be hearing some positive news about Ramey later today.

The next couple commits are the reason we pushed a few out the door. Doing work on the recruiting trail... Give it a few more weeks for it to all play out...

Groce did not really walk into McLaurin and Rice, he actually had to recruit both after he came in.
Also, the team had done terribly the previous year and had just lost its most talented player (Leonard) to the draft. Furthermore, the 2011 class ended up being tremendously overrated as far as talent and players like Shaw, Djmide, and Langford clearly did not remotely belong at that level (for different reasons). It was a very dire situation, Groce actually greatly overachieved that season, when no analyst really projected us to.
His fault was that he failed to significantly improve the overall talent level despite early promise, and his inability to fill huge gaps at PG and C remained in multiple years until it was too late (i.e., recruiting both Frazier and Tilmon just before exit).
