I'll bet you a years MUScoop subscription Sean, Tre, Caedin, Josh and Damarius will be back for next season.

Serious question: Can we really expect any portal additions next year to be *that* much better than Ross and Gold?  If we found out we were adding a 6'4 slasher who averaged 14.5ppg and a 6'11 big who averaged 8 and 6 and could step out and hit the occasional three pointer, we'd probably be ecstatic.  I'm not saying it's impossible, but without dropping a bag, I'm not sure how much of an upgrade we can expect from those two.

Maybe I am too simplistic in my thinking - if most all the players are on one year NIL deals why not just reduce the offer to a Tre or Caedin to nothing or just enough to pay their own tuition if they stay and push them down the bench? In essence take the spot of a walk on or two allowing the team to honor the commitment to the kid they recruited but then just not play them like they do the walk ons. In other words, if you've got to make roster space for portal transfers in, why not push off the walk ons. Couldn't have happened prior to NIL but couldn't the team just pay two or three guys enough that they could pay their own tuition bill?

Shaka thinks he's that guy

Quote from: The Sultan on March 01, 2026, 08:14:21 PMWe will likely have the worst winning percentage since Al's first season. 61 years ago.

I was fortunate enough to matriculate the year before ('63-'64). Ed Hickey's last year. We were 5-21 and we weren't in the Big East.
