How crazy will Tuesday be?

[#UnleashThePortal]

Tuesday is the 7th, not Monday.

Woooooooosh? Am I being woooooshed by a meta wooooosh?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

You've got bigger plans?

Just keeping an open mind, that's all.

I just don't understand how his response wasn't "Yeah, AI sucks"  after his highlight, and then comment.

6-7, meh.

Why be redundant.

[The Sultan]

Three spots to fill.  I am working under the assumption of low major guard, mid major guard, mid major big.  Hopefully all seniors, so that recruiting and retention can get back on schedule.

I think it is extremely doubtful that Shaka eschews the portal again.

[Galway Eagle]

I turn 35 on Tuesday, so I certainly hope for some good news. If Shaka cares he'll deliver.

[SchnitzelBoy]

I think we'll announce at least one signing this week, with (potentially) one more departure announcement tomorrow when the portal opens. I'd love it if we get our business done quickly and know who is on the roster this time next week. I know for a fact that a significant portion of players enter the portal already knowing their destination.

So... this fact... what % is this "significant portion"?

[SchnitzelBoy]

I don't have an official source but I saw something like 30% of dudes enter the portal with a "do not contact" tag.

How does that get you to, "I know for a fact that a significant portion of players enter the portal already knowing their destination."???

First, I don't think the 30% is anywhere near correct in men's cbb. Further, having a do not contact tag doesn't necessarily mean the SA knows where they are heading.

[muwarrior69]

Well it's Tuesday! Let the fireworks begin.

[tower912]

I doubt anyone else leaves MU. 

[muwarrior69]

I doubt anyone else leaves MU. 

Me too. Now let's see who we sign.

[Shooter McGavin]

I doubt anyone else leaves MU. 

Agreed.  We would know already.  Those conversations have already taken place. 

[Jay Bee]

Agreed.  We would know already.  Those conversations have already taken place. 

I'm not so sure on this... I generally agree that it feels like there are no more, but there are countless scenarios I can see where another could go. And we may not know for more than 2 weeks (administrators have 48 bidnezz hours to enter the player into the portal after notification).

With our big #RGV stuff... could it be that a center is making a sacrificial offer.. 'hey, if you guys find another big(s) in the next couple of weeks and it looks like my chances of any minutes next year are gone, I may transfer to give you room and find myself playing time.. let's see what happens..."???  Maybe sounds crazy to some, but I could see it being a thing.

So.. my thought now is, 'we're likely done with transfers out... but we won't know for a couple weeks+ for sure and it could change.... in addition, it could be some guys just don't want to announce publicly until after the banquet... they love the community and culture and want to enjoy that night with their guys before letting the masses know'

Or, a guy has to talk with certain MU fans at the banquet, gets disgruntled and decides to leave the next day.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

If 3 spots it is, that's enough.  Just need to hit on the transfers.

Buy them dinner first.

Yes. Not uncommon at all in CFB for guys to transfer out when they see who is coming in. I'd guess this happens in CBB also.

Zero signings by Shaka so far. Must not have the relationships part down either.

He's got the growth part down pat though. So he's a little behind on R and V. Patience!
