It has been a fascinating, entertaining day.

Friday: Christ has died.
Yesterday: Christ is risen.
Tonight at midnight: Christ has entered the portal.

South Carolina big man Christ Essandoko will enter the transfer portal, a source tells @247Sports.

Purdue with this year's Gold/Hamilton/Clark instead of that year's Edey/TKR are a first weekend exit. Purdue with this year's James/Stevens instead of Smith/Loyer is still playing in a National Title game.

Fine.  How much do you think is available after paying the returnees and freshmen? 

Allocate the funds appropriately.

Do you think MU can be competitive in the current environment if their largest spends are on players off a 12-win team? How much better can Nigel James play?

[tower912]

We will find out. 10 players returning. 

And,  hehehehehehe, NJ could possibly be a lot better with quality guard depth behind him allowing him to get some rest.

He'll be much better with reinforcements ahd better players around him.

Yes, Marquette can be competitive next year.

Hamilton should be paying us to be on the team....

Scoop?

Is there a time the portal opens tomorrow or do I need to start refreshing at midnight?

If those players are good (which they are), can still get better (which they can), and will have more talent around them (they should), then absolutely.

[Zog from Margo]

We'll see. If the highest spends have already occurred, I don't see much help coming from the portal on the front line where MU has a glaring problem unless Pearson is much better than expected   

[drbob]

We don't have 10 players who are worth paying to return. Lose Hamilton and Clark and use the money in the portal

I'm pretty sure the President said that Tuesday, 8pm EST was the start of Hiroshima II, so start checking then.

My math tells me about 7mil to spend on 3 or 4 transfers.  Thats enough to get some very nice players.

lol. Supertramp had a great song, Dreamer.

The gap is wide. Trust Shaka to narrow it with his recruiting prowess. The evidence is there: Hamilton, Clark,Tre, Zaide, Jones, Gold, etc.

15 mil budget
- 6 mil (Nigel, Parham, Stevens)
- 2 mil (every other returner plus recruit)
= 7 mil remaining

[Shooter McGavin]

Nope.  None of them won championships without someone getting them the ball.

MU history, what worked better,  the midgets or Derrick Wilson intitiating offense to feed Gardner in the post?

Would this past season have gone better with better guards behind Chase, Adrien, and NJ?

So to be absolutely clear, yes, I fear going into the season with inadequate guard depth and subsequent injuries and fatigue more than I fear going into the season with Caedin, Josh, and Sheek.

This hill has a nice Swiss chalet on it with a great view of the valley.   I am comfortable here.

I think you have said it before that your point is likely moot because they will do both anyway.  I can't see a world where Shaka won't address both positions if he wants to win next year.  And with the money they have already spent losing is not an option.

I said this last year, but Shaka recruited him his first summer here. But, not only did he get hurt, but rumor was he pretty much checked out after getting his big check.

Maybe he can get a lower level P5 program to bite, but this might be more of an MVC move.

Just had Taco John's $1.39 crispy beef tacos. Holy crap. Zero taste garbage. Flooded with hot sauce, but ... oofta, just awful.
