2024-25 Portal

[Scooch]

Cuffe and Taylor are mid major players

I didn't say they were starters. Both of them could be credible 8th/9th guys on a good team.

Not sure what winning has to do with it. If that were the case, most players should pass us by.

It means the guy piled up counting stats on a bad team. Like JJ Starling just did. That doesn't mean he's capable of starting and performing well at a P5 level.

Unless there is some incontrovertible, fundamental data that these guys can compete at a P5 level, I'd pass.

I think the portal will be full of players with warts. That is why it is difficult to predict how any team is doing to do with it. If they did not have warts, they would be going pro. And then you are going to need depth pieces also.

Of our guys people presume will portal, what are the likely destinations?

Moore go to Siena?

Moore is a high major player for sure. He's just a freshman who got inconsistent minutes on a bad team. He'll have options and he'll land well.

Literally every player has weaknesses, but there will be plenty of quality, starter-level players available. We've lost 3 of them in the past 2 seasons.

Edwards, Girard, Brown.

Other teams have poached our quality starters. We need to turn the tables.

100%. But it is my feeling it’s Avery difficult get. Not sure $$$$ will be available to due escalation in values. We’ll see if GM can identify best available player and then land them. If it’s a bidding war, I’m not comfortable with our chances. Last year portal not all on coaching staff. They identified who the wanted but didn’t have the cash to get them. That’s on not raising enough NIL. SU clearly has more funding however so does everyone else. Not unlike a cost of living increase. By the time you get it you are already behind. Going to need much due diligence and maybe more luck. Long, long, long time fan.

Has Moore announced anything?

I feel we probably should wait for guys to enter the portal before we start speaking of them in the past tense.

Him and Donnie are the only ones from this roster I actually want to stay.

If you pair him with a solid point guard(with a competent coach), he could do well.

 

[Orangefizz]

Cadeau stinks. Red will be fired guaranteed if he’s the PG. The stats do not lie.

Cadeau stinks as an outside shooter but as a true point guard he’s better than anything we’ve had in quite awhile. He’s been the starting point guard for Carolina all year

I'll stick my flag in the ground again this offseason.

If a player has negative defensive metrics at a low/mid major, they won't be able to defend in the ACC. Period.

If someone can show me the outliers, that would be fantastic.

The players that have succeeded in the ACC or above from low/mid majors were All-Conference 1st team level guys

His PER for 2 years is 11 and 13. His defense is terrible too and and they have been a bubble team with him as a starter. I repeat Red will be fired if he’s the point guard here next year. Rich mans Carlos.
