Well, it’s kinda difficult.

We lost Q, Abou, Ciani, Gytis, Lazar, Craft, Ducharme, Nzeh, and Claude. 9 right?

We picked up Foster, Connell, Maddox, Hugley, Traore and Powell. 6 right?
...

I like this pickup.

I think individually, each of the 5 guys we picked up (so far) are solid.

Collectively, Pros: obvious emphasis on outside shooting, rebounding and interior size. Cons: a...

Oh, this is a true statement, 100%.

I'd take a team of XU Transfers and go head -to head with a team of Traditional XU players. Lavender, Crawford, CJ, McLean & Stain. Or maybe swap out for...

Nunge and Kunkel did not transfer to XU under the current set of rules. Kunkel had to get a waiver, and I think Nunge may have been a grad student. And I don't think there was any NIL either. and...

He was awful. I wanted him out well before he was gone. But my comment was really in response to someone that suggested that we've been benefiting from the Portal and NIL. The proof is in the...

shouldnt you be on a picket line somewhere? Fighting for the oppressed?

yeah, we've been killing it the last few years.

And D-West & Po-Z never fails to be looking in the rearview mirror at all times, instead of seeing the signs of what will come.

Blockbuster.......Netflix.

That is nonsense.

ALL of our decisions must only consider if and how the PLAYERS benefit. Havent you figured this out yet. The freaking chaos, and teetering fan interest is simply a small price...

This should be teh time of year when you unplug for a few weeks and reset your mind after a grueling season. And instead they have to work the portal (either to bring guys in, or keep his own guys...

Yeah....but he started off playing 20 minutes a night under Miller and played his way out of that role. in 8 games he was 14-41 shooting (34%) with 24 of those attempts coming from 3 (where he was...

I just looked at his stats from 2 years ago. He did play a role in the first 8 games, averaging around 20 minutes a game, but he was largely ineffective. In the final 4 games of that stretch he...

wow. He couldnt get off the bench at XU. He drops down a level, becomes a volume scorer (lots of point on ALOT of shots) and basically puts up no other stats (29 more TOs than assists on the...

You sound like a Blockbuster investor that wasn’t concerned about Netflix.

We have seen some teams early adopt to the portal and build deep, experienced teams (SDSU) that were successful. They...

I stopped after this doozy. Parity? You are joking or high.

And I love the boogeyman argument about the big programs always paying players. Absolutely ZERO evidence that there was any...

YUP. This was foreseeable before it started happening. just the change in the rules themselves led to the ability to predict these changes in behaviors.

Now, these changes are observable as...

wow. You really don't get it. These leagues are losing their best players by the truckload. I analyzed the portal impact on CUSA last summer in fact. Of the all league teams (including all...

Well if Quincy or Davion were still in the league, they would have both made the first team dont ya think? So 2 of the 5 guys that DID make 1st team All CUSA would have been on the 2nd team. And...

Yeah, one thing is for sure. The portal hasnt resulted in dilution of talent in CUSA.

oh wait, yes it has. just like I said it would.

Dont you have a protest you need to be at?

How does he have eligibility? Did he get a medical redshirt?

KyKy was FIRST TEAM all CUSA this year.

A year ago, McKnight and Olivari were on the 2nd team. Abou was on the 3rd team.
...

I might have to go to rehab when the portal season ends. Or start crack to get my fix.

we averaged 6.8 made threes per game last year. so yeah, adding 3.2 additional 3's per game would probably help! seems logical ;)

(going back 10 years our max 3 pointers made per game was 7.8)

Abou for that backup C job? Kinda a good fit….

I would assume a HS player will go where there is PT. A good, productive Freshman season will lead to the Portal and NIL. You have to play to get paid. Nobody is going to sit on the bench for 2...

This portal season blows me away.

I always knew that we'd see the best players from the mid-majors moving up to the "big leagues." That would result in a slow, multiyear shift in talent of...
