I don’t understand the Harris situation at all unless the coaches specifically told him he was not a large part of the future of the team. Why not transfer last year? Why redshirt? Did he just horribly miscalculate?

I could see Dain going back home since the Minny guy is in the portal but I see Sincere going back to Akron and playing for Groce.

I like this place, I love this place, I am thankful for this place....uh, I am entering the portal...Wha?
He may have known that Fletch is the best in the business and wanted to get a full year with him before transferring.......????
Dain can easily be a 14 & 8 guy at pretty much any Power 5 school. His #’s per minute played this year easily transfers if you actually played him more than 5 minutes a game. He should have played much more this year in my opinion.

A season of top-tiered development and training?

I would say nothing lost on his part if he decides to leave know. He knew his game still needed work and what better place to do so with great facilities, focus on player development and with, maybe, the best athletic trainer in the country? He will be much better prepared next season whichever way he goes because of it.

I could see that too, but Duquesne's new coach is a teammate of Lebron's from the same high school Sencire attended.

Wow. So we should play someone at the expense of losing more games, just to make one person happy and not leave? Pretty sure Brad is going to fill the center position in the portal with someone who will fit better than Dainja. We will always have the two-year Dainja Zone run, and the great play he gave us to help us get to Elite 8 the last 3 weeks. Sad to see him go, but this is best for both parties.

Key was that Coleman and Terrance staying an additional year
Dain Dainja, one, if not the best name, to come thru the UoI basketball doors.
No surprise, but he can find a program to fit his skills and their needs.
Good luck!

I know the focus is on who is coming here next, but briefly, do the insiders have any insight as to where Dain might be looking to go? Just curious what type of program will be able to let Dain be Dain.

So is Boswell/Storr/Raynaud like, the dream transfer scenario here? A PG, a scoring wing, and a big?
After 2 games against Edey and one against Clingan this year, I would love a 7-1, dunking, rim protecting machine. And Raynaud's got a competent 3 point shot and top-500 FT% to boot.

I will say this:
Staff wants Maddox and Storr for sure. Will want Boswell if he enters, but will also look at a couple of other pgs. They want Raynaud as well, but also looking at a couple other guys as well
I can't like a post suggesting Coleman might need surgery, but getting him back would sure be great!
Hope for the best for him no matter what happens.

These three plus Maddox in the Harmon / Sixth man role would be an incredible haul
