Some believe it means he’s retiring.

It's his call. But I hope that's not what it means.

I'd love to see him play a year injury free!

 

[BamaHoopsBoi]

Well, no Wooley. He has committed to Louisville.

Wish we could have gotten him, probably too expensive. At least he didn't go to the Barn

Coming back from an achilles is worrisome...

So, you think this is a prank?

Did anyone see Tigers tweet on X that he was going to play the Masters?

He quickly said, "April Fools"

Yeah, I would be leary of any "news" today.

I checked the Tipton Edits page. I don't see anything about Walters

If we’re going to have a boomerang 🪃 I had rather have Rylan Griffin back. But I don’t think I’ll be consulted lol

 

[Bpilktree]

Meechie Johnson left South Carolina for Ohio State and now will head back to South Carolina so not impossible to return back where you started.

Talking to CA. Toying with ideas. But since it was your idea, let me know what you think about your title. . Will update soon.

1] .the portal did not open "today". So, not that for a title.
2] Transfer Portal News is accurate, brief, not time-specific
3] Easy to rename as v.2, v3, v4, etc.

You might be right about that boomerang lol

I tried.

MBB: 2025 Transfer Portal News

Just heard on JOX Treysen Eaglestaff announced he'll be entering the portal. Should CNO go after him?

What's our point guard situation going to be with/without Philon? Will we be looking for another PG? Can any of the guards other than Holloway play point at a high level? We seem to be in pretty good shape with bigs and shooting guards. PG and the 3/4 are still pending decisions, etc..

Until we know what Philon will do, that's the most important question in my mind after the recent portalees.

It would seem PG is the big question right now. IF Philon leaves, Holloway is our only player that could run point.

But, if that were to occur, I'm 100% sure we'd use the portal to find a replacement for Philon.

 

[Bama Shoals]

I'm not sure we have a proven guy right now who you can give the ball to and tell them to get a bucket or make a play offensively when you really need it. And that includes Philon if he were to come back. Maybe one of the guys on the roster currently will develop into that but no one's really shown it. I would feel a whole lot better if they went out in the portal and got a guy like that. I'm not sure how many are left.

Have we really had that guy since Brandon Miller?

Imagine if Miller would have been on this team???

I think that's CNO's next big thing. Have a roster like this years that's solid and deep top to bottom but to find that one special guy like a Miller or Flagg.

We might only wonder if we could have pulled/paid AJ Dybantsa in this class???

I'm not saying it'll take the kind of player to win it all. It didn't work with Duke/Flagg this year, but it should make it easier.

Concerning that kind of player in the portal, I'm with you: "who's out there with that kind of game???"

Is a dominant player that fits our system even in the portal? Don’t know if we have money to get a $5 mil type guy and the 5 star guard we are after and keep Philon. Hate this day and age of sports other than fact that we have CNO.

Does any of our incoming freshman have that capability?

 

[Coach D]

Does any of our incoming freshman have that capability?

At this point no. If Philon leaves and we don’t pick up anyone else we might struggle handling the ball with TOs. Holloway would probably be the best ball handler and relying on freshman is tough. I would bet we add at least one to help either way at this point.
