Class of 2026 2025-26 Portal

I cannot believe he’s leaving ISU. That’s insane. Draft I understand.

I would say the opposite -- it would be insane for a guy like that not to test his value in the portal.

And he surely could be excused for wanting to be…

ANYPLACE ELSE than Ames, Iowa.

Throw in a bigger bag, and it’s honestly a no-brainer.

Looks like he’s staying in the draft.

Really curious to see if he actually stays in or not. This year's draft is just so strong. He's currently #43 on ESPN's top 100 for this year's draft. He would make a lot more money staying in college and despite his age, could move up the draft board with a strong senior year since next year's class is so weak.

2027 considered to be extremely weak. Like worst in the last twenty years bad.

Oh my goodness….

Oh my goodness….

Well holy crap lol

 

[Melancer46]

Oh my goodness….

Yeah this was expected for those of you that read On3's reports.

Great job by Louisville. They are serious about basketball. Syracuse should be trying to compete with Louisville basketball on all fronts including NIL, not throw up hands and be content being a rung or two lower.

Louisville has always spent a lot on athletics even before nil. Not sure if it big donors or mortgaging the farm for immediate success. Both the players I’m sure cost them a lot.

Louisville has crazy money. Shelstad sucks btw. Way overrated

Let’s see how it works out for them. Will be interesting

Oh my goodness….

Man, I wish.

It’s getting Bidunga that’s the wow factor

 

[hoopsupstate]

Oh my goodness….

You can say all you want about getting solid players in the portal, but this is who we are competing against. You won’t beat Louisville with the talent level we’re bringing in.

 

[Orangefizz]

I’m surprised Cruz Davis hasn’t entered the portal yet. There’s no way he’s staying at Hofstra next year

Who will be the center is the main question for Syracuse and it’s ceiling next season

I think he’s getting a bag from Speedy. That little guard that tore us up is in the portal though

 

[OrangeXtreme]

You won't beat Louisville unless you outspend them.

Louisville won't be outspent.

 

[sufan59]

Louisville won't be outspent.

ESPN Syracuse will be back in 5

 

[23Zone]

His plan apparently doesn’t include shooters.

I prefer well rounded players that can do everything without a glaring weakness...like several of our recent "shooters"...excluding Kingz

 

[BEGood]

Let the meltdown begin

Possibly but look at Kentucky and byu this year.

Agreed. Bidunga is good, but Shelstad is classic people falling in love with big name.
