So Who Is The First Portaler?

[Biaxtar]

Ok who’s our big man?

I'm going to guess with J.P. Estrella.

 

[Trueblue25]

I doubt that’s a requirement. Maybe out of respect but you can’t force someone to sit down with you.

A strong request by Red then.

I should’ve said a team requirement, which obviously anyone with a smidgeon of respect would follow.

Do you think Chance will stay? I know he’s a risk with his injury, but I’d love to see what he could do next season if he can get healthy.

Chance going nowhere. He was so close to playing this year. He was coming back mid December. Had unfortunate setback that detailed that. He’s a great kid and a leader. Big things for him next year

At this Pont who will be our last portaler.

 

[Trueblue25]

Chance is staying

Why risk it on someone who’s played very little college games, has barely played for 2 years due to injuries? If he wants to come back as a possible 10th guy but with every player being up for grabs it seems foolish to count on someone you don’t need to.

This is going to suck isn’t it

So far these announcements have been expected. How many times did jazz hustler have to tell us that Q was gone?

 

[JeremyCuse]

Good guess. he will nto be on the team next year.

Ya Himas time on the roster has come to an end.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Chance is staying

Totally good with it. 4th guard, 10-15 per game depending on foul trouble or matchup.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Okay Bell stays or goes. Get on the record Marsh

Yes.

 

[grepal]

This is a long thread. No time to read it all. Read maybe 20 out of 40 pages.

Let em all go. Unless Red wants them to stay. By and large an unwatchable bunch.

If the H0T Takes on here are true, I am disappointed that some played as much as they did.

Hope we find some experienced leaders in the portal. And some hungry team focused kids.

A great coach can turn around a problem and make him much better than letting a kid quit on himself. I gave seen it with many kids I have helped, many kids coming from broken homes and living day to day, meal to meal.

Gotta wait for Danny Wolf and Yale to lose?

We wont be the only team that reaches/reached out to Danny Wolf

 

[Trueblue25]

Guess Cuffe is staying

 

[Orangefan1]

Judahs insta says your time to shine for Qadir. Makes it pretty clear that Red didn’t want him running the point. Hence leaving to take a starting spot somewhere.

Good luck at Tulane

 

[two3zone]

I know nothing (as many here will tell you), but it would be hard for me to envision a school taking a chance (no pun intended) on him with his injury history. I would think his best shot would be staying.

I hope he does.

Yeah, probably should head back to the OT board.

 

[Trueblue25]

come on Judah

Do it

 

[UpstateSM]

Guess Cuffe is staying

Good. He was learning how to play high level basketball again this season. There is potential.

 

[UpstateSM]

A very good player. has it all for us. & footer. Big on rebounds and a good shooter. Ivy scares me a bit though.

Offense would translate. Would be important to have a backup that can protect the rim. Hopefully Patterson is ready if McLeod bolts.

Portal PG/Cuffe/Westry
JJ/Moore/Westry
Bell/Westry
Freeman(Brown)/Brown(Freeman)
Portal C/Brown/Patterson

Is that what we are looking at?

 

[Account Deleted at User's Request]

Portal PG/Cuffe/Westry
JJ/Moore/Westry
Bell/Westry
Freeman(Brown)/Brown(Freeman)
Portal C/Brown/Patterson

Is that what we are looking at?

Brown and Freeman will be starting even if it’s the token fab melo freshman minutes. Brown isn’t coming back here to come off the bench. And he shouldn’t.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Guess Cuffe is staying

Hopefully he can build off his great play against North Carolina... oh wait NM.

Why risk it on someone who’s played very little college games, has barely played for 2 years due to injuries? If he wants to come back as a possible 10th guy but with every player being up for grabs it seems foolish to count on someone you don’t need to.

But if we portal for a really strong lead guard, we have Chance, Moore, Starling (and Cuffe) to round out the backcourt.

If a problem is one of the "leaders" of the team, it will grow into other problems down the line. Red couldn't rip the bandaid without coaching a single game this year, so he had to try and "turn around a problem".

Didn't work with Benny or Judah. Didn't seem to be getting through to Q.

Now the bandaid is getting ripped off.

Brown and Freeman will be starting even if it’s the token fab melo freshman minutes. Brown isn’t coming back here to come off the bench. And he shouldn’t.

So you think we are going to be able to get a high-profile center recruit from the portal to come here and not start?
