Any new rumors out there re: the portal? We need to find a quality good man; Dain will be gone, I'm sad to say, which leaves us only Hansberry and Morez. They are talented guys, but not much (if any) experience. That's a gaping hole in the roster, since Jackstys has already indicated he needs a redshirt year. Will be very interested to see how Underwood addresses this challenge. sounds like rebuild to me.

I'm not getting the response to my post. If it's hilarious, how so? I don't think there are any errors of fact.

Yeah, and who might they be? For a quality big man, we'll have loads of blueblood competition.

Ron Burgundy What GIF

Losing a backup big means we are rebuilding? Come on now, we all know Brad is reloading.

I would describe the project as a 'rebuild' because there will need to be a LOT of role-definition work to do. Meaning a LOT of time will need to be expended between today and next November (and really, on through December) in building a team in which ~8 or more guy (the rotation) develop into an effective team.

Adding the talent is step one.

In your experience, when there's this much in flux regarding possible coaching changes, is that generally something recruits are in tune with and take more of a wait and see what happens approach and become more tentative in their recruitment process until everything stabilizes, or is it more noise to them and business as usual and they just react to whatever happens when it happens? Seems like a lot to deal with if they're very aware of it.
