Message: [QUOTE="jdubs30, post: 4467877, member: 1620"] This is the issue. Fran even said we’d have NO problems landing major impact transfers if we wanted. Instead, since Eli Hughes (the only reason we got him is because JB trusted coach K), we have only used the portal to grab guys JB recruited in the past, which severely limits our options. Illinois lost 86% of their scoring and brought in 3 very good transfers from the B12. We lost most of our scoring and have 7 freshman and our only portal was a backup center from Duquesne. JB easily could have portaled this off-season and got a very good player. We had to replace Jimmy, Buddy and Cole - that is A LOT of shots up for grabs. Hell even NC State got a few good ones. I’m almost glad JB is so apathetic, he is leaving no doubt that his time is up. If he had made a splash in the portal this year and we were somehow playing well, that wpild only extend his shelf life here [/QUOTE]
