Previous link Transfer Portal
I thought it was May 1st.Just getting in under the wire lol.
Deadline to declare your intention was May 1st but compliance departments had 48 hours after to officially enter the name in the portal. So not sure if he just missed the deadline, or nobody really cared about Illinois State basketball so the news just trickled out slowerI thought it was May 1st.
They will have a really solid squad next year. Should open the season as a top 10 or even top 5 team.Creighton lands Baylor Scheierman
One of my favorite high-major players. Thick, physical wing who can play anywhere between 1-4. A relentless, hard working guy who's a pain to play against.
Ohio State has done very nicely in the portal this offseason:
- Tanner Holden 6’6 185 SR from Wright State. 20.1p, 7.1r, 2.6a, 49.7 fg%.
- Isaac Likekele 6’5 215 GR from Oklahoma State, 7.1p, 5.5r, 3.4a, 1.2s, 43.7 fg% in 30.9 mpg
- Sean McNeil 6’3 205 GR from West Virginia, 12.2p, 36.8 3p% in 33.6 mpg
All three will likely be starters in 21-22.
Agreed.Dude. Do you have a YouTube show, podcast or blog about college basketball? If not, you should. You’re more knowledgeable about the NCAA than 99.9% of the commentators for ESPN.
You and @Hans Sprungfeld are very kind. Thanks guys.Dude. Do you have a YouTube show, podcast or blog about college basketball? If not, you should. You’re more knowledgeable about the NCAA than 99.9% of the commentators for ESPN.
Basketball EphemeralI also like the kinda impermanence of posting here: it’s a community of knowledgeable and passionate college basketball fans. When I post, it’s a time to slow down, be mindful and share something I’m excited about.
Any blog title pitches?

I get that, and everyone has a life, job and all that. But I still recall Dan Orlovsky, after being cut from the Lions the final time. He went on Twitter and posted breakdowns of plays, especially QB play with his analysis. He was just obviously really good at it and his following grew from the handful of UConn or Lions fans that followed him like me. Wasn't long before ESPN came calling for him. He's tall and relatively handsome so, yeah, that helps.You and @Hans Sprungfeld are very kind. Thanks guys.
My short answer is, no. I don’t have interest in an video/audio stuff at the moment, but a blog could be a fun hobby.

I think what’s fun is that you give tons of exposure and share tons of knowledge about mid majors / lesser known programs and players.You and @Hans Sprungfeld are very kind. Thanks guys.

I'm in awe of Matt McMahon's roster building in what, six weeks?
He entered his job with (I think) no committed players and now has an 11 man roster:
LSU was one of my top-five least favorite teams, but with McMahon in the mix, I'm excited to see what they do in 22-23. From what I read about him, he seems like a great guy.
