Is there anyone in the portal who hasn't heard from us?
I really hope we have a couple more of our guys in the portal. We need a major infusion of talent and athleticism. I'd like to have as many opportunities" as possible to find guys with more of each.

Graduate Assistant
thank goodness they tagged the agency representing him to make it easier for all the cash offers to roll in
I thought you were making a joke with the names. All Wright and Always Wright is some pretty crazy work from the parents.
At least they’re better off than their cousins Never and Sometimes.
Right or wrong (pun intended), I think there's often something about the order of lists when they aren't alphabetical.
We seem to be listed 1st on a lot of them this year.
And with our name on so many lists already, I'm thinking the coaches expect a lot of holes to fill.

Buchanan headed to the portal. He also portaled last year before opting to return.
I wanted him a couple years ago. probably not a great fit for the Mooney offense though as a non-shooter.
“53% from field (practice)” is an interesting stat.
I’m 85% from field (practice in my driveway on an 8’ rim)
Three more UR contacts: Bryce Lindsay from JMU, Erik Taylor from Sam Houston, and David Simon from San Diego.
His agent is probably just throwing out names to artificially increase his value.
NIL has created a ridiculous mess.
How many of these kids are going to go to a school for the right
reasons, like academics , social fit, etc., and how many are selling
their souls as teenagers and young adults in hopes of a professional career?
I see schools on these lists that are only going to buy one player and
others that will be buying a lot, and shoving last year’s reject/s out of the
door.

I am starting to get in the old man, get off my lawn, NIL killed mid major basketball camp.
But if I were getting paid 1.5 million and trying not to pile up 20 loss seasons, I would be all in on trying to build a roster this off season.
So the question is, are we going to sign players on hope (guys like gw3 and AP) that have not produced at D1 level, are not plus athletes that can at least provide defense and physicality, or are we going to try to get dudes in the portal this off season. Or are we just paying lip service on contacting every portal entry (playing long game, "see we tried" and depending on freshman). Will say, looking at SDSU, they actually have been building well on HS recruits, BUT getting raided badly (Magoon Gwath this year). If the long game starts paying off in two years, you definitely will get raided.
So, really need to sign some dudes in this portal.

1) a very high percentage of kids playing college ball hope to play professionally. the rational ones realize it would be in Europe, but still.
2) you get "academics" wherever you go. there are some who have it as a priority ... just like regular students.
3) social fit when you're on a D1 basketball team is mostly your teammates. they spend so much time together they're like family.
As we've talked about with what VCU is doing and we'd like to see UR do, Dellenger outlines how the power leagues may actually be at a disadvantage with basketball in the NIL era because they have to throw so much money at football.
Power schools with football might have $2m–$4m to spend on basketball NIL, while Big East schools could spend $6m or more. In order to keep up, football schools might need to find ways to circumvent the revenue sharing cap.

Could impending rev-share changes help Cinderellas in the future? 'Everybody will be in the game'
As the college sports industry sits on the brink of historic change, an unexpected spending disparity looms — and some mid-majors will be able to take advantage of it in basketball.

"In this era of frequent player movement and rapidly expanding transfer portal numbers, it's a testament to the culture and sense of family that Coach Mooney has built at Richmond that none of our players have entered the portal, despite the likelihood that many of them would be highly desirable to other programs coming off a successful 10-22 season during which they all competed hard and never failed to show up for games or got lost on the way to the various arenas."

I was going to spell his name wrong, but I figured just being wrong might be more on point.
