In today’s free agency, Farr and O’Mara would not have stayed to develop at X.Quote:

Coaches are responsible as well for pushing players to the portal in order to open roster spots for other players in the portal who can contribute more quickly.
What does that mean, exactly? The portal closes and I have not submitted my name........can I no longer transfer or does it simply mean that I don't have the benefit of this "clearinghouse" to assist in marketing my name/availability?Quote:

Guards:
Ryan Conwell (ISU)---would be an outstanding get. Basically Olivari. 40% 3pt shooter, 6'4 etc. Supposedly Ohio State though is competition.
Dante Maddox (Toledo)---6'2 can shoot but also a slasher. Lots of comp for him. Illini, Louisville etc
Forwards:
Michael Nwoko---meh. could develop for sure but freshman year looks like a lot of our guys this past year: 6'10 245 out of Miami.
John Hugley--Oklahoma...Big boy...some questions from a mental and physical standpoint. Big boy...great sophomore year out of Pitt, pretty disappointing year last year.
Garrison---would be a huge get...out of Oklahoma State. Good Freshman year in a big boy conference. Visited Oklahoma, but didn't commit and has now gone quiet. Maybe a return to Ok St?
Anwyays, that's who is really on the radar for now....as the world turns.
