    Did I dream that AJ Storr had committed to Illini? Thought that was done...but it looks like he is still open? Anyone know whats going on there?

    Would be awesome but not going to be in the mix for him. Will be going to one of the big boys

    He's been asking for crazy money and other requests. Going to whoever will give him the most. Think illinois and kansas are the leaders, probably a couple others involved still too.

    About two weeks until the portal closes. Any chance we hang on to everyone else?

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

    Heard somewhere that a lot of current NIL money is due to be paid later this month, but that if the player entered the portal, that payment goes away. No clue if that’s true. If it is, there will be a lot of new people jumping into the portal at the last minute.

    And/or the coaches would not have allowed them to stay.

    It's a two way street that I think much of the blame gets placed on the players.

    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?

    My understanding is that if you don’t submit paperwork before and you’re not a graduate transfer, you can’t transfer. Can someone confirm that?

    Just to reset a bit here. Here is who we could be seeing a commitment from over the next week or so..either to X or competition, but high priority guys:

    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.
