Class of 2026 2025-26 Portal

[it's early but] despite the prevailing sentiment that gmac needs a splash portal haul, seems like he's going with lowkey spread out foundational construction, relying on coaching up and culture building and fans' buy-in/patience. And maybe it's a mis-calculation on that fans piece.

Bold strategy cotton! He needs 2 superstars and 1 very good starter to add to this bunch. The fan are going to quit on him if he assembles a bunch of mediocre talent after we heard the donors stepped on the scale to "force" SU to hire an insider. With that said, I'm being patient and it's early so I'm hoping he just filled the back-half first and will land a few big fish. No mis-steps yet, but he needs some high-end talent soon.

We'll have to wait and see, both about the roster and how they perform. But unless some guys make huge leaps or M3 is a star right away, then it looks like Doty is currently our lead player. I really like that we got him, but if that ends up being true then it looks like a rocky start.

We're mostly targeting centers and point guards, right? The scoring has to come from somewhere. Are PGs leading the team in scoring all that common? Or is our superstar hopes best put on a monster center?
 
Like it’s been said the entire portal is a bit stalled out right now. Agents are flooding social media with info and trying to max out everything and it’s chaos. It’s very quiet on the GMac front with little coming out on our side which is letting rumor and speculation get in front of actual facts.

Asking price and school price way off. Perhaps we're taking baby steps towards market corrections.

I wouldn't really say it's slanted towards any individual position, but for example, among power conferences, some of the top scorers in the country this past season were:
  • Darius Acuff
  • Ebuka Okorie
  • Labaron Philon
  • Nick Boyd
  • Bruce Thornton
  • Terrence Brown
  • Bennett Stirtz
  • Tyler Tanner
A bunch of non-power conference guys up there too. I reckon PG was probably the most prevalent position among the top 50 scorers in the country this year.
