IU Scott Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I will probably watch games this year a little differently. I will probably be looking for guys who I hope enters the portal and who would be a good fit at IU.

To me I feel like every team should keep at least 1 scholarship free headed into March each year. Transfers, decommits, really good players reclassifying,etc.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a tweet over the weekend that the MSU football staff has something like a 3-person scouting team fully dedicated to monitoring and scouting players that enter the portal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Someone mentioned how fast Tucker turned things around just because of the portal....all programs should have at least one person if not more like Sparty doing just that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be absolutely shocked if CMW didn't have someone assigned to monitor the portal. Coming from the NBA the whole free agency thing should be second nature to him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure between Thad and our staff....plenty of contacts out there saying hey take a look at this kid,etc...and while I love the benefit kids get from getting a bigger stage I also feel bad that a couple hundred programs are now feeders for P5. I guess it's just a different form of JUCO. We/Knight benefitted from it....just feel a little bad for some of the smaller college programs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read where Saban has a consultant on staff, usually a former HC somewhere, who has one job and that is to scout guys who they feel might end up in the portal. With the way this thing has been put together, I agree we probably will hand someone with that task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually they kind of are good...sucks is that they make the tournament/win their conference and they are suppose to have their senior come back and give them a shot at a deep run and instead he get's wisked off to Michigan or UK or whatever. I know it's the kids choice to make and I might make the very same one but I do feel bad for the coaches in those programs.....the incentive of sticking around that level to build something special at a mid major program is basically over. Just when they were making major in-roads into having real relevance in college basketball and on the NCAA tournament now NIL and the instant portal comes along to benefit those at the top. (Hopefully we get back to the top though) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePaulieWalnuts Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Florida has a very nice class, wondering if any follow White to Georgia or if they re-open completely.

ThePaulieWalnuts Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 LSU also has a nice class led by 5 star big man Yohan Traore. Another big that might open things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like IU offered in April and he announced a too 10 (without IU) in August. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustout Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Definitely will be interesting now too that these kids can see a Woodson offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a Woodson offense, it is an offense that was adapted based on personal. Watch his Atlanta and NY teams, and other teams he has been part of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier for kids to see it now opposed to this time last year with just nba vids. anyway, I’m just excited TB and JG are staying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
