Two weeeks ago when Indy gave us a Denzel boom, is that for a possible portal transfer? Did we ever find out more?

there isn't a chance in hell that an insider is gonna divulge transfer news before said player enters the portal. but, clearly, back channeling is entering the fast and furious stage now. the portal is like a box of chocolates, but we're dealing from strength. if our insiders toss us a bone, albeit cryptic (understandably), that augers extremely well.

The agents are testing the waters (just like BU's does, lol).

Yeah that's why I think it's important to not talk too much about specific players yet. Trust me, when certain guys enter the portal this offseason, you guys have a good idea of who we have a good shot at

Clearly he's talking about Nikola jokic

I have heard he'll be available ...
Real question- would he consider coming considering how Brad did not seem to want him as a prep recruit? Not sure if there are "disrespected" feelings. However, perhaps for right amount of NIL one can get over past hurt feelings...

Brad wanted him ... We took his commitment ...

I think you may be thinking of Reggie Bass? Brad saw him in person and we told him we were not going to take him ...

Okay golden question from a recruiting idiot?

Lets assume that Mr Boom isn't happy being a Cat and wants to return home to be near grandpa. He commits what then happens with Fears and Nico now that is the next John Paddock. Do we need to figure Fears will not be happy seeing he is being recruited over just like big brother? The whole transfer portal just seems to serve as a !!!!! house filling in gaps for the needy.

I think Fears wants to score 40 points a game. Easier to score 40 points with a strong PG.

There's plenty of opportunity for 2 guards to touch the ball.

As a Tennessee grad, I’m proud of my alma mater for standing up to the NCAA. The NCAA wrote their own demise and has no one to blame but themselves for being tested in court on the legality of their arbitrary rules and loose enforcement of said rules.

How all this ends up impacting recruiting will be very very interesting.

How would he be recruited over. Fears is a 2025 recruit. Boswell would be a senior by then.
