My understanding is that today is the last day to enter the portal so I am keeping my fingers crossed that we continue to retain our quality core of players.  It would also be sweet to see us snag a decent big guy to plug and play at the 5.  Stay tuned boys.

I'll second all of the above!! I go to this board every day hoping to see some news of a signing. Seems quiet lately but that could change very soon, hopefully for the better. A 6-10, 230 lb center would be the best get for us at this time.
Let's get it done!!

Thx CLK!

Well with the last day for players to enter the portal being less than a week away (as noted by CLK) I suspect the bigs we are trying to get are already out there, and yet still crickets..........................

So the portal is closed, and we kept a lot of our guys, unless DU is really dragging their feet getting out news.   Dixon, Barre, Hronsky, Rozier, Grant, Clark, Williams, Barba are all back.   Added 4 nice pieces, a couple local walk-ons, and still should add another.   Can we actually have a real shot this year?

Good question Townson.  We kept a solid core and added some depth and strength, but the answer to that question depends on how Dambrot finishes up recruiting.   In my opinion we are still missing some key pieces to have a serious shot.  We need a big skilled center to replace Reece, a big strong SG who can drive the ball and defend to replace McGriff, and a big experience point guard. The other A10 schools particularly the Bonnies and Loyola have been striking gold in the portal.  Other schools like VCU, Dayton and GM have also been rebuilding through the portal.  Right now I don't think we have enough to win it all.  Dambrot needs to finish recruiting strong.  We might have enough at the point, I don't know, but the other two pieces are critical.
