Pay him enough and he’d probably be willing to wear your clothes. :winking_face_with_tongue:

When dos the portal close? Working out a theory in my head (which probably doesn’t make sense) that a tighter window might just move more of the action until after the window closes (schools have more leverage after the window closes)

You may be right, but from a market stand point, if the supply suddenly becomes finite, the price and demand become the variables. Elite prospects could be telling suitors, if not me, who else ya got. Pay me. That said, the European (and South American, Asian, and Mid-East) markets are still there, if not somewhat unknown to us. Go ‘Hoos!!!

Was thinking it might prevent Duke Miles type movement, and the preemptive version of that. But I forget the rules to be honest. I can’t remember if guys can keep switching if they’ve already been in the portal.

Jamie Shaw appears to have made his prediction on Cloer’s HS recruiting profile. It’s insider locked so I cant see it, but was changed this morning.

Once they enter - guys can move around indefinitely until they enroll

His FG and 3pt% are terrible. He does shoot 71% from the FT line so he will likely improve on those especially on a good team where he doesnt have to be one of the main players on a scout.

Hmm

What does Tiger Woods know about college basketball anyway?

Withholding judgement at this point on our portal season. Just hope we don’t out-think ourselves for the sake of analytics/ cost per player. Like nobody cares if you win the “Most Financially Efficient Team in the Country” award. Pay the guys we really want- even if we don’t get everything we need. The “perfect” is the enemy of the “really good” in this case- I think.

We have time. But not forever. Go ‘Hoos!

White has been out of high school more than five years. It’s five years of eligibility or five years from the athlete’s 19th birthday (with some notable exceptions) — whichever comes first.
