Michael Nwoko officially in the portal.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Why did sellers only play 3 games?

Got injured so we need to do our due diligence on him.

I actually like how he was coming along but this isn't a huge loss, he can be replaced.

We can replace 5-7 minutes at the beginning of the game. We are already on a portal post guy as we have set up a zoom with Gabe Dynes of Youngstown St. 7-3 Center.

The do not contact is hilarious. Dead giveaway of tampering.

Good pick up for lsu. I think he will be a good player. I prefer Murphy though.

Everyone does it. That tag is just for kids who don't want to talk to programs. They want to speak with them through the agents.

Every last one of these kids has a pretty good idea where they're going when they enter. Most have it down to 3 schools by the time they officially enter. Some enjoy the visit portion, generally it's the G5 or lower level guys who didn't get to experience it, but most just prefer to let the agents handle everything and they are just told who will meet the price and that's how the final decision is made

I don't know where but I read he was headed to an SEC school so this could be correct.

Probably earlier in the thread, I mentioned it a day or two ago. Something could change but they?ve offered him a very nice deal and got him in the portal. It?s been in the works for a while now, never say never though if another team tries to come in last minute.

The staff may keep Foumena on now to help provide some depth for down low. I wouldn?t expect his usage to change much though.

Hopefully we can sign Josh Dix and Themus Fulks! That would be fun on TV and for other teams student sections!

So that sparks a thought. We've always heard that roughly 40% of those who enter the portal never land at a new school. But intuitively it's likely a much lower percentage for SEC players? Meaning a much higher percentage are sought after and actually have a pretty good idea where they'll land. Has anybody seen an actual figure for the SEC?

LSU will be a big spender in NIL this year. This is going to be Matt McMahon's prove it year and they are going to spend large to see if he can get it done. I highly doubt it.

Fingers crossed it's our big spending year too!

Well but they have a big 3 of Todd, Gordon McKernan, and Dudley Debosier funding most of their stuff. We don't have a big 3 like that for any sport. Especially Todd.

We're going to spend big, but I don't think it'll be to that level.

[Commercecomet24]

It?s not bad-but we need to evaluate it better.

Yeah this is the 100% correct answer.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Martavious Russell officially in the portal. I would expect we see 1-2 more join before the end of the weekend.

MJ flashed some potential. Interested to see where he ends up.

My guess is mid major. Somewhere like Samford, UNA, or Lipscomb.
