Portal thread. Who’s leaving, who’s coming.

Two of the best posts ever, on the same page.  This should be memorialized somehow.

And, crap.  We're already on another page.

I guess Illinois is not into chemistry experiments. This is rubbing two sticks together.

jayden quaintance to kentucky.

it looks like the staff wants to throw a lot of money at getting guys to return. and apparently we're still in it for nate ament.

I'm a fan of it. Rather go with proven commodity than wait and see mode with new guys. And when we take portal guys, then get ones with experience in power conferences, like Pringle and the dude from FSU we are supposedly getting.

That is more or less what Cal has been talking about since getting hired...you can't build a culture by having to rebuild the roster every season so if we can cut that down to sustainable levels and have guys returning each season it's bound to help. Hopefully the donations to NIL are flowing in but as recent history suggest people get amnesia with alarming ease.

Thiero declares for draft. Hopefully he just wants to go through process but I'm guessing he keeps his name in.

Now comes the decision if do you overpay TB or go after a bigger fish. TB is good and can give you production and maybe they think they have him dialed in but to me he's just always going to be one of those guys that is gonna go thru head up ass stretches.

My best guess is they'll try to land that stud freshman that looks rail thin. I'd rather have some mens personally.

I hope he stays but he'll make a good pro.

We needs some mens, but we need an outside shooter. Preferably more than 1.

TB proved his worth at the end of the year. He can shoot it well fron 3. Pair him with a physical big down low. He can also give you minutes at the 5 if need be.

If he portals, he'll land at a HM school.

He certainly has NBA talent, but he's going to have to prove he's not divisive in the locker room. He'll have to show his talent is so great that it overwhelms the personal baggage.

However one feels about homosexuality, I suspect he will only play overseas after the antics of last year. Might as well come back.

[Barton Fink]

I heard nothing of an issue with him this season.

[Pig Benis]

The whole locker room was a shitshow in Muss's last year. Can't put that on TB. It sounds like the chemistry was really good this season. I wouldn't drastically overpay for him but definitely want him back. I would expect him to land at another SEC school if he hits the portal.

That's my point about proving he won't be a problem. Another year without incident would go a long way towards that. Mainly, he needs to play up to his talent level for a full year.

[Barton Fink]

Agree on the full year part. I don't think he liked playing behind Thiero. I think he could be a 15/7 40% from 3 with 2 blocks kinda guy. Not many of those around.

[vegashog]

they want brazile back whether they get ament or not. they are two completely different players.

and what incident happened two years ago that he was a part of?
