We are getting a lot of talk around the Seattle area that Pac 12 Network is in deep trouble

Nothing really other than the fact that he is from wisconsin and there are some pretty tasty openings in the midwest right now.
In this recruiting thread, I think it's about a Tipton Edits post (maybe Twitter?) saying Burnett is likely Alabama-bound. But I can't find it right now, so who knows? Maybe I'm losing my mind.
There are rumblings that Bama leads for Burnett.
Tre Mitchell is in the portal. Thoughts?
He’s had over 70+ teams reach out. Kids a stud, went to UMass because they hired his prep coach.
He will have his pick of where to go, but we’re in on him again. He liked us a lot coming out of HS.

Wonder if the Pac-12 performance in the tournament this year impacted the decision at all. Their product of basketball much closer to an NBA style then the Big10 right now.
It would stand to reason that we on occasion pull the rug out from a competing program and snag a top-50 guy. Am I crazy or does it seem like we are never on the other end of one of these deals?
The whole thing has become the Wild Wild West with some type of self policing. Recruits and their handlers know this and want their share. I'm not sure where this all ends up but for now at least we are joining rather than fighting. This upcoming transfer portal might just be one giant cesspool. #JUSTWIN
Never liked getting rid of the sit out year.. This is turning into a clown show. Enjoy "continuity and chemistry" on teams with 4-5 new players every year.
There are some very good transfers in the portal. Race Thompson, Seth Lundey, John Harrar, Marcus Carr all could fill the junkyard dog role that needs to be filled

Kid goes to lesser basketball school because they hired mentor and finds out he doesn't really like it.
Where have I seen this theme before?

I’ll gladly take Myles Johnson for a year if Kofi leaves.

Why do we need that role to be filled? We have several of those players already. We need the Ayo role to be filled (insofar as that is even possible).

Didn't realize he was an ECE student... impressive
I really feel like Miller held himself back this season. I believe we missed all of the star recruits mentioned in the thread, and picked up a couple of the guys I listed we would be back in the same spot as we are this year.
Obviously we would look different, but if we can bring in some energy, we will be just fine.
Carr was one of the better scorers last year.
Harrar led in offensive rebounds I'm pretty sure.
I posted this morning that there were 839 transfers in the portal, just checked again and it's up to 887. Michigan does not win without transfers Mike Smith and Chaundee Brown. Both were immediately eligible. Same for tOSU with Sueing, Walker and Towns.

Big hit for Rutgers, with Johnson leaving.
I got to photograph the SLU/UMASS game a few weeks ago, and this kid impressed the hell outta me. I remember walking out of the arena thinking, "damn, what a player." (And I hadn't heard of him before the game.)
Burnette mentioned Alabama in an interview when he was in high school. Mentioned someone he was close to, friend or coach.
Tre Mitchell would be awesome as our stretch 4. His asst. coach is marrying his mom and he said Tre will ultimately return to UMass.
Myles Johnson woukd be a great replacement for Kofi. Hope we get an impact transfer or 2.

They mentioned it every game. But yes

Heh. This will be Boayke in 12 months.
I won’t argue that more people will have heard of you if you play in those regions and your at home crowds will be bigger, so if you want a lot of Twitter followers maybe best to stay in those areas. Butthere is more to choosing a school and the college experience than that. And I can guarantee you that others besides Jon Rothstein will see them — NBA execs. Last year Pac 12 had 6 first rounders and 4 second rounders in NBA draft, while B1G had 1 and 3 respectively. In 2019 Pac 12 had 2 and 4 to B1G’s 2 and 5, and in 2018 it was 3 and 4 versus 4 and 4. And in 2017, Pac 12 had 6 first rounders to B1G’s 3, and 8 seconds versus 1 for B1G. So the important people are seeing kids play out west.
