You beat me to it! I was going to come here and offer my capitulation. I still can't believe he's transferring out, though I guess anything goes in the modern Wild West of major college athletics.

Yeah I don't love the way this new Wild West works, but if it starts working out in our favor more often it could be pretty fun.
 

Good news with reaffirmation and a transfer. Two solid momentum building days.

Over on the football side the portal has actually been pretty good to us. But football portal is very different. Lots of player movement but at least in that sport you don't have entire teams being rebuilt on a yearly basis.
 


BJ!!
10 spots left

1-Asuma
2-?
3-BJ
4-Crocker-Johnson
5-?

Bench-Grove
Bench-Shinholster
Bench-?
Bench-?
Bench-?

We got enough to at least play a game now!
 



Now that we finished the tidal wave of one full rotation, now we can begin the Title Wave.
 





Added Camden Heide and Wes Enis to portal chase. Ryan James says there is mutual interest in Heide and that Enis was on campus yesterday.

I wonder if Enis and Evans are a one or the other deal. But Niko likes to play lots of guards so maybe both could work out with Asian a pass first point.

i gotta believe that if both Enis and Evans want to come here Niko would take them....
we still need a minimum of 2 higher end guards plus another mid/lower guy for depth

Why? He’s 6’10” and has skills. I can’t imagine he’s going to be very expensive (how crazy that we have to say that now). We need some big bodies….

Unathletic, didn't improve much from freshman to sophomore season. Shot 40/55/27 this last season. Redundant with Groves and Groves has more upside

It is relavent though. We're not Kentucky. We have essentially a salary cap.

So we let Gophers be infected by Twins financial plan.. can we blame the Cheap Pohlads for not contributing to NIL?

Funny how I and very few others were throwing similar numbers out last year and were laughed at. Life comes at you fast with regards to players we were losing.
 

Dropped Heide from consideration, he was fools gold.

Added Bobby Durkin from Davidson. Sounds like he could sign soon.
 

Durkin is a really nice player. From an advanced stats perspective, he's comparable to (and slightly better than) Jamison Battle at the same stage. Same conference, same year in school.

Durkin: 15.8 PER -- .541 TS% -- 18.9% USG -- 11.2 AST% -- .123 WS/40
Battle: 14.5 PER -- .577 TS% -- 19.6% USG -- 3.9 AST% -- .092 WS/40

Stats are their first two years combined.

That's a great apples-to-apples comparison! I've been meaning to bring up Battle as an example of what you'd want to see in a transfer addition with multiple years of eligibility remaining.
