Marcus Domask was the 82nd ranked player available in the portal last offseason.
They are going to get more. Patience and trust the process.
Domask alone makes this yearās transfer group āsuper incredibleā. There are only five spots for all big ten first teamā¦ to get one with a low-NIL transfer is insane. With TSJ and Hawkins returning, itās not like we were offering āalphaā spots.
We just wont shoot the ball at all?
I am curious to see how the conference recruits the transfer portal going in alphabet order
Indiana have a good high school recruiting class coming in but probably loses their bigs to the draft
Iowa Perkins leaving has to hurt. Freeman and Sandfort are a good base. Not a great recruiting class
Maryland Losing Scott and Young will be hard to replace. Already got 2 transfers and have a 5 star big
MSU loses a lot will watch the portal
SCUM who knows yet
Minnesota could return their team and be solid donāt have much of a class
Nebraska return Mast but loses a lot
Northwestern lose Boo and Berry. Not much of a recruiting class
O$U lose Battle and Key. Will be Thornton team
PSU have a lot of seniors not sure if any have eligibility. Decent incoming class
PU Edey, Gillis and Jones. Will still have good guard. Have decent recruiting class 6 players probably wonāt gain to many transfers
RU lots of players saying they are leaving but loaded recruiting class
Wisky loses Storr and Wahl
For the new teams Oregon was the best of the four but had a lot of seniors
Sorry for the long post but if BU finds a couple good transfers like MD we should be competing for another conference championship. I donāt think there is a clear favorite like PU was this year

He certainly outperformed expectations. But he also had size and strength that translated to the B1G. I just donāt see it with Hill. Maddox would be a stud off the bench in my opinion. But weāve got a lot of holes to fill.
Morez is going to be tough to deal with.
Even if his draft status isn't what he'd like it to be, why would coming back even be a thought? Not sure of his NIL situation, but he can open a pretty big bank account overseas, right?

And bring consistency in scoring. He can't disappear for games. A ton of this is in who we bring in so he can play at the 4 and not at the 5. A larger question is, do we have the NIL to bring back CH and bring in the other we want?
We're going to be at or close to the top of the conference for a while.
Thatās why you go after Storr and Boswell. Both have size and can thrive under BUās system. Then you find a stud big man next. Maddox is a 6th man and thatās it. Hill is a role player but you also need depth on the bench and both Maddox and Hill would be good in that role.

By a team some say could beat one of the worst NBA teams on a good night? and about the same as they've been beating teams all tourney and the last one? No, it just shows the next level that Brad will be trying to reach next year and beyond
Who doesn't?

Kofi's tweet from the other day referencing how he wished he had stayed home...I Hope CH gets an incredible review in the combine that shows he should go, but I'm not convinced he will. If he doesn't, I hope he comes back.
They couldn't. Some of those people need to stop saying this.
Another good thing for recruiting.
A year ago, Brad was the frustrated coach screamed on the bench, lost in the first round. was basically questioned by a player publicly, and had IMO at least one embarrassing press conference (his response when asked about TSJs leadership) Oh and there was the rumor that he was trying to get the Texas job.
I am extremely impressed with the changes he made this year. I canāt recall one time all year I thought he looked out of control on the court. He was all class in his communications win or lose, and now his players are talking positively about the culture and his leadership. And the rumors this year are that heās here for good. Oh and we won the B1G tourney and went to the Elite 8.
I know we have more NIL than most, but we arenāt the only ones with NIL resources. So regardless of the NIL, I think we will be much more attractive to recruits than we were a year ago.
Curious, how serious is his knee issue?
They would get killed by the worst NBA team. Not even close.

If Coleman Hawkins comes back next year....he can be whatever the f#@k he wants!! ILLegend
And he'll probably tell us that on social media!
I feel like the only way he would come back would be an unfinished business situation.
Like Domask gets a waiver(insiders basically saying that it's not happening), get Storr and Kalkbrenner in the portal plus a guard
Would be looking at a lineup of Domask, Storr, Ty, Coleman, and Kalkbrenner with a bench mob of transfer guard, DGL, Goode, Hansberry, and Morez.
Seems like a pipedream but feel like that's the type of championship or bust situation for Coleman to return. Honestly don't even know if our nil could support that.
Lol the worst NBA team is full of 15 guys that were not just the best players on their college team but just the best players in their conference and are now better, older, and stronger.
They would absolutely beat UCONN by 100 pts if they were going full intensity and would have multiple bigs better or just as good as Clingan.
What makes you say that?
