Juke expected to be 32nd pick in the draft. Henri expected to go 36th. Both in the 2nd round, but high in the 2nd round. Will our NIL offerings be enough to sway them come to UNC (Juke) - and stay at UNC (Henri)? Or will the siren call of the NBA lure them?

Must remember Michigan just won it all with a complete roster re-do with 5 portal players. All is not lost just yet. And agree, the guys we had last season - who are now in the portal weren't all that anyway. Were they? Dixon was serviceable but... Of course that's easy to say now... somebody...

Thus far we know: Bogavac to Oklahoma State, Dixon to Arizona and Powell to Pitt and we've added G/F Neoklis Avdalas. Can a player re-enter the portal after successfully transferring from one school to the next - as long as he does it before April 21st? Why or why not? We know Trimble entered...

Ant no news on portal front, so we’re just tilting at windmills until something falls. But you’re right- these discussions could take place elsewhere.

Exactly. “Should be” being the operative words in my comment. The other important words in the statement include “totally out of whack.”

Should be club ball like in Europe and the rest of the free, developed world. Let colleges and Universities be academics, with their sports teams being intramural or recreational only. Let Club teams handle the “pro” sports teams. Ex.: Cambridge and Oxford have university football (soccer)...

Trump couldn't flip a booger from the end of his fingertips

7 more days for players to "enter" the portal. Do you think there are some players out there who are contemplating the portal who've yet to enter? I guess there will be a handful who enter late because their coach just "recruited over them" by signing some new dude. Is that what Luca did? Didn't...

There's no "might" to it. He's 100% right and you know it.

Totally optimistic on the roster in October.

One would hope the Orbán result in Hungary would serve as a bellwether. Thoughts from the "normal" leaders of the free world: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, a frequent target of Orbán's pronouncements, said, ‘’Europe is Hungarian today.'' British Prime Minister Keir Starmer...

Exactly. And one would think the side which contains all of the evangelical "Christians" - and a shit-pot load of most other "Christians" - would take these allegations seriously, and denounce their candidate. Wasn't it that exact lot of folk who wanted to castrate Bill Clinton? Yes, it was. And...

Perhaps Biden should have given him a pardon in advance a couple of years ago. That’s how this game is played, correct?

I'll admit, I didn't really get a "handle" on these things until around 1998 or so
