While it seemed like a daily dose of "portal" gloom for a week plus, the portal gods (aka the coaching staff) delivered Newton and Alleyne. Two senior guards bring height and scoring prowess. The question remains how do you they fit from a culture standpoint. We all know that Captain Intensity (Could that be softening?) is all in on culture. The question remains how do they fit in? Newton is a volume scorer, albeit playing for a dumpster fire of a squad from the bad old AAC days. What happens when he doesn't get "his" game in and game out? There are a lot of options to score with only one basketball to go around. Alleyne played a lot of minutes at VT. He won't play that many with us. Many teams struggled with acclimating portal guys this past season. It's like bringing in "one and done's" for a year. Rent a players. Do they buy into the established Conn hoops culture with the likes of Adama (Hall fans still mad about him), Jax and Hawk? Will they want to stay another year? It is a fascinating story to play out. What say you?
