It was this afternoon.

Man the portal is a fucked up system.

Let's just stand on the sidelines at the HPER and see who we can get for next.

[Barton Fink]

It's done us well.

[Lurk]

It's done us well.

No kidding.

I am liking the guys coming more than the guys leaving to this point.

Surely somebody coming will be able to shoot better.

We are getting some certified buckets and a couple of those guys are supposedly excellent defenders. Battle is not a great defender but considered the best shooter we've pulled in thus far. I think we are going hard after the Syracuse big man that stat wise was very productive. So looks like a bit smaller team with better ball handling, good shot making and getting to the line ability. What I see on paper is a team that's going to move and pass a lot better on the court. Obviously with these guards they are bringing in...a guy like Ford isn't in any immediate plans to compete for a rotation spot in case anyone is curious. That's not to say that Ford, Pinion, and Dunning aren't going to improve by leaps and bounds...they very likely will but as it stands now it does appear this staff is getting players that fill starter roles. Battle may be our first off the bench guy...as Muss likes having a guy like that on the team.

Have to wonder what guys like Derrian Ford are thinking.  I know we are losing 3 guards, most likely, if you count Devo.  But this is the third guard from the transfer portal if I am not mistaken.  Have to wonder if he is beginning to doubt his decision to return.

add Blocker to that list and from what I understand he should be good enough to be getting a decent amount of minutes. The other freshman guy is a highly rated player but probably won't play a ton as a freshman barring injuries.

Not done yet...

Just got Georgia's best player Kario Oquendo, 6'4" guard that averaged 15.3 and 18+ in SEC play.

[Pig Benis]

is that confirmed? I saw that McPherson tweeted it but then deleted it.

[animal]

Tweet misfire by McPherson. Apparently there is no smoke here at all. Nothing to see here move along.

[Pig Benis]

I wonder what happened there. He wouldn't have that Tweet drafted and ready to fire off unless he was expected to commit.

Maybe somebody outbid us.

He might have been a backup plan for Battle.

Ford could be the Cory Beck style point guard this team will need.  Tough, can score occasionally, and can play D. 

[Barton Fink]

Really like all 3 of the guys we got in the portal. Intrigued by Menifield. Kid was the leading scorer in EYBL and has a 44" vert. I think he's got a chance to be really good.

Very weird.  Sully and a bunch of Ark media piled on.

McPherson does this stupid bullshit all the time. Every offseason he also has articles prepared on all of our players in case they leave. Accidentally posted them all at once last year.

Mark, Battle, Davenport: Hard to deny Muss has done amazing work getting transfers in here this year. We've traded a bunch of young talent (that was never going to reach their potential here before jetting to the NBA) for more experienced transfers who can bring instant size and skill.
