i can't wait until high school seniors enter the transfer portal.
Why wait?
Why wait?
The staff needs to show they can bring in guys they don’t have prior relationships with. Too many fish to limit yourself to a comfort zone.I do wonder if Estrella is the play. Red was his recruiter. The guys in front of him still have eligibility at Tennessee.
His dad may not be here much longer...Not surprised. He has already been there for 5 years.
The youngest of the 3 brothers is currently a junior in high school. He has already said he wants to play for someone other than his dad and Iowa.
From NC and has 2 years of eligibility left.
Yes please
This has become a board myth. Of course, you start with kids with whom you have an existing relationship if you ID that player as an add. But, my understanding is that the staff is looking "everywhere" to find the right talent.The staff needs to show they can bring in guys they don’t have prior relationships with.

I like that we are not hearing much. Last year we heard about some players and then it didn't happen. I think that in at least one case, it was because his current school heard about the interest and ponied up the dough. It's best to get the job done without causing a bidding war.This has become a board myth. Of course, you start with kids with whom you have an existing relationship if you ID that player as an add.

Yup. ANYTHING we do hear is coming from the players or their agents. It's an interesting leap in "logic" to assume that SU isn't involved because we haven't heard anything or that the staff is only looking at kids we had a relationship with.I like that we are not hearing much.

It looks like he shed some pounds.

I was going to say he doesn't look like the same dude I watched in AAU at all lolIt looks like he shed some pounds.
He got two citations for Marijuana possession according to Winsconsin fans.
Oh god he’s a killer!He got two citations for Marijuana possession according to Winsconsin fans.
Hey I don't mind weed, but we all know how prude Universities can be about that stuff lol.Oh god he’s a killer!
100%.This is why we shouldn't even recruit kids who won't be an immediate impact as a freshman. Let them leave some other program, not the Orange, and if they end up a good player just catch them in the portal.
Maryland is working fast! They have two guys already.Ja’Kobi Gillespie of Belmont committed to Maryland.
That likely reduces the minutes they have available for other portal PGs, say someone like … Malik Mack
This is Dean Francis’s speculation as well.I do wonder if Estrella is the play. Red was his recruiter. The guys in front of him still have eligibility at Tennessee.
Is this the same kid who was looking for 250k per year in NIL money and he never ended up playing?This is Dean Francis’s speculation as well.
Not sure he was "looking" for that, but the Tennessee collective was rumored to have offered him that to get him to commit.Is this the same kid who was looking for 250k per year in NIL money and he never ended up playing?
JP Estrella. He’s stuck behind other, much more experienced guys at Tennessee and he might be next season too. So I could see a transfer. We were pretty much his #2 choice and Red was his recruiter.Is this the same kid who was looking for 250k per year in NIL money and he never ended up playing?
