A lot of guys entered the portal late in the window this offseason just in case the House vs. NCAA case goes their way. If it doesn't, no harm. They just won't play. But entering the portal at least gives them the shot in case they are granted that extra year of eligibility. Here's a bit more on it...

St. John's is 10th on that list and just got a $32.5 million donation to upgrade facilities.

good call Stu.
I happen to like the new logo quite a bit
accomplishes what the idea was behind it in a clean and simple way

Speedy still has the Estrada path to sell. He can recruit, that doesn't change just because Sanders didn't work out. Doesn't matter how well he can recruit if there's no money behind it for the players. NIL existed last year too, they got guys who could play. other than some rich alumni swooping in...

Possibly the more accurate reference is that the CAA and similar mid majors are now the minor leagues for the p5 schools. Maybe the NIT will end up like the FCS championship in football. It's pretty unlikely that a mid major team will ever make a deep NCAA tourney run again, it may not make sense to...

Score one for the good guys

Khalil Farmer to UMass

Looks like Aranguren to Utah State

Word on the street is this may be happening soon.

compensation is not going to happen. do not competes are generally unenforceable in court. and the ftc tried to ban them completely last year. pretty easy argument that restricting transfer would cause an undue hardship on the athlete. no standing power for the smaller schools here. https://www.esp...

Agreed Stu - those last two spots go to high level high school kids rather than walk-ons now.

I don't think even the school would have answers to these. It's definitely a free for all, and if you heard the recent interview with Hurley he essentially said schools are recruiting his players all season long and half of them already know where they're going next year during the season. Schools a...

They hired Pitino the younger over him

There will be opportunities to bring in high school kids, a number of the big schools are portal only now. With the long term result of being a farm system for the major programs.

I don't agree it's too early to tell. There's 3 conferences and Duke in the sweet 16. The SEC is ridiculous. Cinderella runs to the final four are a thing of the past. There's just no way to build a program to do it anymore.

After watching Walter Clayton Jr take out Uconn just now, felt compelled to take a look back at our box score from Iona game in 22-23 season. Just wild all the talent that was on those 2 rosters: Iona: Clayton (1st team all america), Nelly Jr Jospeh (playing in 2nd rd tonight averaging double doubl...
