Yes, this portal era is treating Mooney very well so far. While I totally get that in the past he had a strong preference for building a team with freshman and developing over the years - transfers were always critical - look at Tarrant's teams (Rodney Rice, Terry Connolly, and many more that contributed to NCAA teams) and Beilein as well. Mooney avoided that, or maybe he got burned pretty bad by our admin and shied away. Forgetting the guys name we hung out to dry and eventually headed to Xavier?
In any case, we are really doing quite well in the first three years of portal kombat. On paper, this haul is really looking outstanding, with two 6'8 + guys with lots of production, and one good sized combo guard probably in top 5 rated prospects we have landed - based on HS ratings.
Also of note, really good job by Moon this past season to put the pieces together and have a true team, and not a collection of guys that are out to get their owns stats etc.
