I believe there are over 900 in the portal so far. Pretty sure that as of earlier this week there were less than 30 committed

First question to be answered is anyone else leaving?

It is a worry for sure. Doesn't matter who....it would not be a good thing...at least not right now.
Maybe if we added 4 or 5 highly rated guys then we could deal with a fringe departure, but not now. It would create or amplify too many questions.

Kansas State was a trash bag last year. 4 or 5 highly ranked transfers smells like elite 8 to me

Perhaps it would amplify things for you. Imagine if we hired Craig Smith. He had more transfers out. Would that mean anything?

These are kids. Kids are dumb. Always have been, always will be. I don’t want then to leave, I want to watch them grow as players, bith individually and as a team. However, since it cannot be controlled by us, why worry? They’ll do what they do.

That answer only comes when the portal closes. 60 days after opening. I do believe that dare was May 11th, but I am not totally sure.

The only board Ben has left to cling to is Payne / Carrington / JOJ and Christie. Any of them leaving would be the final nail in the coffin.

Well..... they are here and there is no steam that they are leaving- so that's a start.

Not them specifically, but some have said many more are coming.

Some here? If some poster here thinks "many more are coming" then Coyle would have that information as well and if the rumor were true they would fire him now. But they haven't left and no one is talking about Ben being fired. I just don't see how Ben would survive if more than one of the local recruits left at this point or if just Payne left.

Maybe they threw some $$$ around to hold them off
 

I won’t write off a Coyle fire and hire following this April.

Mitchell (commit date) matches the fastest previous one in Battle.
