Big one, would say maybe he follows Mack to Xavier but he was at Charleston before Mack got there

 

[MugCostanza]

Not sure if he has the lateral quickness needed for Pitino but would be a solid 4 to slot in next to Zuby that can space the floor and rebound on both ends

Not sure if anyone would know. Joson Sanon and Ian Jackson are both Adidas guys. We're becoming an Adidas school. I know this is not 2007. But, I'd imagine companies would boost NIL if they portal to, let's say, a more marketable school with their brand.

Is this a thing?

I was told that by a good source and not buy anymore Nike Merch it makes sense.

So now guys who played D-2 can get eligibility back as well as jucos?

Will D2 kids eventually be playing eight years of college ball?

I think they only get one more year but I can be wrong

I thought I remembered seeing juco will get both years back so I assumed D2 kids could argue for four.

I wonder if we might be in the running for this kid?

I'm too lazy to check Illinois roster to see how many bigs they are losing.

I remember panther posting about him.

I'd love that but our style would have to change completely I guess.

I remember panther posting about him.

He liked him better than Cliff.

Donovan Dent in the portal. I Suspect if Richard gets a new job he follows him

Richard went from hot name, to looking like he may miss out this cycle, and back to hot candidate depending on what Willard's real motives are.

 

[paultzman]

Whoa, Cali kid. Pitino Jr took big portal hits last year, but this one will be hard to compensate for.

 

[pdcjay]

Whoa

I wonder if this is the guy 79 said was someone we were talking to that was eliminated on Sunday who’s name isn’t in the portal yet.

A backcourt of Sanon + Dent would completely change the game for us. Not sure on the defensive side of things but adding two 40%+ 3pt shooters would sure open up the lane for RJ.

 

[paultzman]

A smart hoops guy just voiced his opinion that Dent will follow Pitino Jr. I wonder if he has very good shot at Nova job.

Weird dynamic going on, because you figure Willard and Richard go back decades, so Willard could possibly have told him in confidence that he's not taking Villanova job. But then Richard would still have to wait until Willard finishes his current money and power grab. Meanwhile, portal is open so how long can Nova sit and wait on either?
