Martavious Russell is in the portal now. That is 3 spots currently available now and maybe more depending on Tolu and a couple other guys decisions.... Russell has alot of upside, very humble kid too he will be really good one day for someone... I hope Jans has is working hard in the portal, I have a gut feeling we may lose another guy or two also, no inside information just a gut feeling
Speaking of transfers, why did Denae Carter leave? Did she just want to be closer to home? See where she signed with Villanova.
That one was unexpected, but she is from Philadelphia so I'm assuming she wanted to be closer to home. Speaking of women's basketball Purcell just got another top 20 portal player in Darionme Roger's, she in another All Big East player who averaged 16.8 ppg last season. Purcell is killing in the portal and high school rankings with a top 20 signing class there tooQuote:

Agreed they were both really good hires. Purcell surprised me with his floor coaching as well because we worried about that. His recruiting is top notch though, he is bringing in major talent. He went and pulled two All Big East girls, they were two of the top players in the Big East... thats tough to do, plus we are in the mix for Arkansas transfer Bynum who is a 6'2 athletic type similar in stature and movement to a Rickea Jackson...Quote:

Im hoping Jans can go get us a proven high major player or 2, if he can do that I can see us making a deep run in the tourney because I'm that confident in his coaching. I'm a little worried about his recruiting though, how is NIL holding him back other than Tolu?
