If only to push angry PC fans over the edge.

I'm telling you, I sat by a few at the BET, and my attempts at camaraderie and levity wasn't flying with a couple of them. They were angry

Spencer was already in the portal this time last year. There are over 400 players already in, there were what, around 1k players in transfer portal last year?
There's over 800 players already in the transfer portal, there was 1,800 last year.

One need I havent seen mentioned is a guy who can break the defense down on his own and get a shot. Our offense mostly doesnt need it but against really good switching defenses we do. And this year we have Castle, Spencer, and Newton who do that well.

Does LeBron have eligibility? He never played in college, so, maybe?
Yes, he does have some experience but perhaps not at the top level? He might be a little old but with many five and six year players that isn't a problem anymore.

I'd take Bronny... Kid will be a good player once people stop expecting him to be his dad. Which, probably, will never happen.

We need a starting center, and a starting guard, and a decent backup forward if we are going to 3peat.

Assuming Karaban comes back we need a ten man rotation that can wear down other teams because we won’t have the likes of Newton, Clingan, Spencer, and Castle.

Diarra / Nowell
Transfer / Ball
Stewart / Freshman -forgot his name
Karaban / transfer
Transfer / Johnson.
We are not playing 10 guys. The marginal minute is better off being the 31st minute for a starter than the 1st minute for your #10 guy.

Your depth chart looks right, but we need the transfers because not all of them pan out, not because we would actually play everybody.

I don't know if he hits the portal but I was impressed with Anchor Anchor of Samford. 6'9", springy and took a big step forward this year. I think he shot over 40% from 3 point range.

So by my math, there are 381 D1 schools and if there are 15 players per team, that's 5,715 D1 players. If there are 800 players in the portal, that equates to 2 players per team. Seems about right.

There are 13 players per team.

There are 362 D1 basketball teams.

800/5715 is closer to 1 player per team if you use elementary school math anyways.

Some of y'all are hopeless.

Maybe I am working on little sleep, but isn’t 800 portal players divided by 362 teams an average of 2.2099 per team?

You are correct. I was using @UCTitleTown 's numbers of 15 players and 380-something teams to show he managed to not use elementary rounding skills.

According to the NCAA web site and wikipedia there are 351 D1 schools and 15 players per team. 800 is a little over 2 per team. So 2 per team is closer. Some of y'all like to argue for no reason.

I'm going to ignore the rest and start with the real basics here.

I don't know what to tell you brother, there are 362 D1 basketball teams. Whatever website you are looking at it wrong. Look here or here or here or here or here or here.

@Kembafan deleted his post. Too bad.

And by the way, the rest of it isn't that hard to figure out either.

There are 15 roster spots, but 13 scholarships. Everyone else is a walk-on unless the school does partial scholarships (no one does this any more). Walk-ons do enter the portal, so technically it should be 15, even if it's weird to think about guys transferring to D3 or JUCO as transfers IMO.

Also, by Titletowns math, there are 1.39 players per team in the portal, because he assumed there were 380-something D1 teams for some reason. I was critiquing his math. Yes, you are correct... sort of. By the ACTUAL math (which you also managed to mess up, Mr. 351 teams), there are around 2 players per team transferring so far.

Who again is arguing for no reason? Try harder, bucko.

Wouldn't it have been easier if you just divided the number of players in the portal by the number of teams?

From watching the Purdue-Utah St game, the transfer I want is the refs that work Purdue games getting transferred to work our games next year.

Whoever we get I would prefer at least a Sophomore or Junior for continuity. Also, the Greek and Stewart are going to play next year and Diarra is probably gonna start based on him being our only experienced PG. He’ll be ready.
