Huh? I disagree with this entire post.We need Storr badly. But even with him, this transfer portal puts us in position to recognize honestly that we are rebuilding, not reloading.

We have a short list of names at the 5? Doesn’t seem to be much movement there which is surprising to me.Lot of conflicting stuff on Maddox right now. We will see
Already have a good idea of where we would pivot for the combo guard spot if he goes elsewhere
I mostly agree with this. Recruiting and transfer rankings are largely put together by a bunch of glorified bloggers whose careers are not on the line if they underrate or overrate a recruit. The coaches whose careers ride on evaluating talent are likely to have a better idea of the actual value a player brings.You gotta ignore the rankings and look at the programs recruiting him. He's clearly going up a level and people are selling him on a big role.
does that random twitter guy who said he's going to Xavier an hour ago actually have a source or am I gullibleLot of conflicting stuff on Maddox right now. We will see

I mean sure. There are also black swans. It's disingenuous to say there is no correlation between swans and the color white.When I say proven results, that's after adjusting for level of competition.
Go look at Cam Spencer's stats prior to transferring, and his transfer rankings. He excelled against B1G opponents and was ranked pretty low. I'd much rather have someone like that than some highly ranked guy with lots of potential who hasn't proven anything yet.
I mean, pretty sure we’re the #1 ranked transfer class, so… both? Yeah, both. Feels good, don’t itDepends on what you care about...getting guys with proven results, or bragging about transfer rankings.
I don't expect that to hold once the top ranked guys commitI mean, pretty sure we’re the #1 ranked transfer class, so… both? Yeah, both. Feels good, don’t it
I don't think we need to pursue Storr either way ...
They have our final offer ... Take it or leave it ... Or wait and watch us give it to someone else ...
Say it right, BONNY-villeIf he comes back he can get a new bonneville.

A lot of these rankings tend to factor in a guy's NBA potential, as well as years left to play. Maddox is too small to be a big time NBA prospect and will be a 5th year player.Because there is no correlation between the two, got it.
People that make the rankings throw darts at a dart board.
If proven results was the end all be all we could save a ton of NIL by focusing all our efforts on D3 studs.
I love the portal I hate the portal I love the portal I hate the portal that’s where Im at
Thanks. Yeah, I agree. Conwell is money. He's got a really nice looking shot. Hopefully Jake ends up being our Conwell... perhaps that's where staffs' heads are?No ... But frankly, I am a little disappointed we are not even pursuing Conwell ... I think the kid is an absolute bucket and difference maker ...
Wrong. This is the opposite from what we have been being told and seeing. If we get maddox, solid wing and a 5 we going to be good.We need Storr badly. But even with him, this transfer portal puts us in position to recognize honestly that we are rebuilding, not reloading.
Pretty sure that's because of the volume of transfers versus the PERCEIVED quality. Quality probably isn't the right word, as it makes the players sound like commodities, but you get the drift. When the top names start flying off the board, we'll drop.I mean, pretty sure we’re the #1 ranked transfer class, so… both? Yeah, both. Feels good, don’t it
Not rebuilding. Stop.We need Storr badly. But even with him, this transfer portal puts us in position to recognize honestly that we are rebuilding, not reloading.
Na man. John Groce is coaching Akron, and Bruce works for BTN. We back!We need Storr badly. But even with him, this transfer portal puts us in position to recognize honestly that we are rebuilding, not reloading.

A small part of me is in this camp too. We have a really, really good player with Boswell, but then a lot of role players and/or pieces that still need to be developed. The amount of production out of those guys is always a wait and find out approach. I'd put Maddox in that category as well. We seem to be chasing a guy that we won't really be sure of what we're getting(if gotten)We need Storr badly. But even with him, this transfer portal puts us in position to recognize honestly that we are rebuilding, not reloading.
No ... But frankly, I am a little disappointed we are not even pursuing Conwell ... I think the kid is an absolute bucket and difference maker ...
No more Pontiacs made. Have to go this route….If he comes back he can get a new bonneville.
There is no such thing. Pontiac died in 2009.
