Meechie Johnson, DeVries and Storr have already committed. But yeah, there's a lot in the portal. https://247sports.com/season/2024-basketball/transferportaltop/

Edey will have a harder time moving Burns. I'll be an NC State fan, that's for sure.

I was so against the Barnes hire in the beginning. I'll happily eat crow on that one. He's very underappreciated for what he's done here.

Of course every coach needs that guy, but that guy without the rest isn't going to get you the kinds of seasons Barnes has had. If you want to look at your example about Edey, Purdue had early exits from the tourney the last two years. What they have this year that makes a difference is guards...

Creighton doesn't foul. Their defensive style is why. Edey just never gets called for fouls.

He completely disappeared against Creighton too. Not getting good minutes from him today was a killer.

But even then, the player has to actually attempt to shoot according to the rule. Passing it back out after that results in a violation.

Let me clarify, because I know it seems like I'm stating the obvious. Knecht changed everything because he was a guy you could give the ball to, clear out and let him go get you buckets. He's the first guy Barnes has had here like that, and let's face it, you need that guy come tournament...

This is what the NCAA 2023-2024 rule book says.

Nah. Counzo floundered, but he was a play away from an elite 8. Tyndall was worse than Bruce as far as cheating goes, but his brand was exciting. And Tennessee's marketing department has been incredible the last decade.

True, and we should all be furious by the inconsistency of NCAA punishments. Bruce deserved to be punished, but man, the stuff some schools and coaches have gotten away with is ridiculous.

I don't like Bruce, but I'd have run through a wall for him when he was coach here. You can't downplay the importance of marketing and branding. That affects how much screentime the networks give you, the overall attitude recruits have for you, how much energy the fans bring. Bruce let the...

I called him a scumbag. I don't hate him.

Lying about the barbecue isn't the only dumb thing he's done.

Bruce is a scumbag. What Candace said is also 100% accurate and I'll forever be grateful for what he started here. Hell of a coach. All of this can be true at the same time.
