SJU Portal Targets

[paultzman]

Omier and Mitchell are not interchangeable pieces. Not even in the same category. If we don’t land Omier, we’re not the same team next year.

Can’t argue w that, Omier clearly a difference maker

 

[paultzman]

Only scenario where you can swap them and still be a top 15 team is if you somehow land Kadary and Smith.

Seems the map

Jkidd record breaker inbound.

BKing single season rebound

Next?

 

[MugCostanza]

Far from perfect but Bart's rostercast tool has us:

11th with Kadary + Smith + Omier
14th with Kadary + Omier
15th with Kadary + Smith
16th with Smith + Omier

Within the top 15 sounds good to me

What would it be with Mitchell combinations?

What would it be with Mitchell combinations?

14th - Kadary + Smith + Mitchell
15th - Kadary + Mitchell
15th - Smith + Mitchell

Obviously not buying that Omier is only one spot better than Mitchell but clearly we need Mitchell if no Omier.

Thanks for doing that. Interesting how it all lands similarly although I completely agree with you.

Omier most important target IMO, followed by Smith.

I'm curious to know where things would stand with Dingle if we were fortunate enough to land Kadary + Smith. Seems like he'd be the one squeezed out (assuming he won the case, and wanted to come back). Thinking along these lines, same sentiment with Wilcher.

Pitino told Dingle to enter the portal. So it seems transparent who he'd be choosing.

Wilcher should be in line for 15-20 mpg regardless.

But as far as I know, Dingle didn't enter the Portal, only Ledlum did.

Yeah it's very curious.

 

[MugCostanza]

Guessing Dingle is on the fence about returning regardless. 79 did say shortly after the season ended that Dingle was done with college even if he won the appeal. Perhaps that's changed slightly but I'm guessing he's leaving the door open for a return just in case Rick whiffed on all of his top guard targets and desperately needed him back and was willing to pay the number needed to make it worthwhile. If Pitino lands his guards and doesn't need Dingle he'd have no problem going pro.

Could be way wrong but seems plausible that's the situation with him.

 

[Redenbacher]

Well, Repole did say "whatever it takes."

 

[kranmars]

Also Mug, Dave, Mase, dk423, SJ11 too, sorry if I missed someone. Portal is exhausting, but info on the site is great, thx all

The academy…

 

[kranmars]

Not sure what exactly y2 means by 3 for 3 but I’ve heard we can only afford 2 of the 3 fwiw.

But I also have heard Smith’s credits issue is real and may cost him money and leverage in NIL talks.

Still confident we land Kadary as of now and are right there with the others.

Smith must have loved the campus food and is eager to eat it daily.

 

[kranmars]

i am going to blow my load

You just made me wish for the days when everyone argued like maniacs because no top player wanted to come here.

 

[Larry Wright]

People on here really would want Smith and potentially screw Wilcher?
Only saw him a couple times but not nearly as high on Smith as most on here I guess.
If u get Kadary and Smith and they are starting with Luis we going to see all zone all the time.

 

[CBA69]

If we lose Omeir, whom I think is a must get, I would rather have JT Toppin than Dillon Mitchell. I believe I read that Toppin entered the portal.
