But is everyone else's. It's all just how everyone will restock.

Drexel's Justin Moore gone too.

Yup. This is it going forward now. New teams every year. No more seeing players and teams develop anymore. It's like an organized form of pickup basketball at the park now, just throwing new teams together constantly.

Congrats to our former two-time POY

Regarding the discussion about JWF before, no way he stays all 4 years in today's environment, most likely only 2. Part of that discussion was that they still need to find guys like that even if they leave early in this new NIL world. Can't put it ALL on the portal, and since JWF, that's dried up f...

Thought this was a cool pic of Estrada putting in the work before the game that just tipped off. 3-0, Alabama a couple of minutes in on a Sears 3.

Barrouk is in the portal (same guy who was "going to be an integral part of what HU did last year" but who was then chained to the bench and who is now gone).

Barrouk is in the portal.

What Dan Hurley says about how he tries to put his UConn rosters together applies to lower-level teams like Hofstra too: “It’s hard to be an elite team if it’s all portal or all high school. You’ve got to have a core of guys that return to your program every year that you build around.” Going forwar...

It’s been estimated that a high major basketball team will give out at least a million dollars in NIL for a starting five. Mid-majors like Hofstra can’t compete with that. We’re now the farm system for the big programs. It’s disgusting. The whole idea of the ‘student athlete’ is now total garbage. ...

Rocco Muratori, SBU's 7-3 center, is in the portal: https://stonybrookathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/rocco-muratori/8666 7-3 from West Lafayette? How did he not end up at Purdue, even as Edey's backup and eventual replacement? The Boilermakers collect guys like that and he's from their...

Look at this absurd list of schools that have reportedly reached out to Amari Williams. Hard to expect anyone of his, Dubar, Jyare Davis, Estrada, Timberlake, etc caliber to stay when these types of teams come calling https://twitter.com/AdamZagoria/status/1770600956230557959?t=YadGqW8ryfITtiO8HCks...

Pretty cool:

Would be funny if Dubar returned to Iowa State and Marshall returned to Hofstra.

Here's a post from Sidelines Hofstra fromX on some portal players we're recruiting; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YzUM2fEIzXNXgYuIm2JCGUrqW06b4rPiTqbiAbvwyFo/edit?pli=1#gid=0 Hampton's Jerry Deng, with his size, athleticism, and production would be a nice get for HU. He was only a freshma...

With Estrada and now Dubar Hofstra can set a real nice recruiting pitch to kids that we can get you paid by a power 5 school, the same way a Duke or Kentucky can tell an elite high school kid we'll get you straight to the NBA. Hofstra is going to have to fully lean into this approach to stay compet...

Wagner leading Howard 38-27 at halftime but they better be careful in the second half. They only have seven players available and have to start the second half with one player with three fouls and three others with two each. Anyone remember The King & His Court, with pitcher Eddie Feigner and on...

I don't look at these situations the same - Players transfer "down" for more playing time, being closer to home, coach being fired or hired by a "higher" program. Players transferring "up" now are MOSTLY going for the $$$ (although they might want to try their ability ...

This is a huge blow to the team next year no matter how you slice it. Was hoping Speedy could convince him to lead the team next year like he did with Thomas. If Dubar goes to St. John's that will be even worse as it will make us look like little brothers, even though we probably are. Welcome to th...
