Is Tre Norman In The Portal?

[Scoop Snoop]

This is a very good point. But the question is whether this works and, within this system, how close can we get to a Natty?

I truly hope Coach Shaka is pursuing the right approach but only time will tell.

I'm not convinced that is a "right approach". Even if Shaka eventually decides to abandon his system (doubtful, I think), is there enough money to pay the costs to compete with schools like Duke and others? At least you wrote "close.... to a natty". Even when not specifically stated (and it sometimes is), quite a few scoopers seem to insist that not getting a natty = failure of Shaka's system. The fact that he may not do any better-or even worse-with the portal conveniently gets ignored.  This is patently unfair.

With the chaos and bag drops in the portal right now, I am not sure he has a choice.  How big of a bag would Parham get?  Or Gold?  Or Owens?  How much would it cost to get the equivalent from a mid major? 

For these kids at MU, you have to believe MU is paying a lot for them to stay, and they are!

Dingdingding.  The portal doesn't guarantee anything.
