    I think there is contact in some cases before the player enters the portal, so some know where they are going before they enter.

     

    Most certainly. Okpara played some of his HS ball in Chattanooga and was recruited by Rick Barnes out of HS

    Career 73% from the field raises eyebrows. However, Wilhelm Breidenbach took his spot in the starting lineup this year. 

     

    He's a more than serviceable traditional post player. Certainly playing the odds we won't recruit him when making that joke.  With Breidenbach it always brings up the question of whether we lack the ability and/or the patience to develop post players.

    You could grow up being a Nebraska fan but if NU only offered you $10,000 but some other school offered you $100,000, what would you do?  The generation of kids growing up fans and wanting to play for a certain school are gone.  Now it all about where can I get the biggest paycheck.

     

    You make it sound like getting paid the most wasn't a factor in the past.  More of what you're seeing here is the ability to transfer....before you had to sit a year or couldn't transfer more than once and that kept the stickiness as much as anything. However, when we're talking about disparate monetary amounts for guys who project to 'decent career in Europe' or 'accountant' can you blame them?

    Is Wake Forest becoming our archrival?  They are like the kid in school that always cheats on a test by looking over your shoulder.  (I would post the picture of Fred on his cell with the Demon Deacon in the background if I had the creativity and knowledge of how to do that)

     

    Has felt like Forbes has been single white femaling us for a while now

  5. We arguably have the best kid out of the state this year with Braden Frager.

     

    The problem with landing the Nebraska kids out of the portal you're talking about is that they are up there in terms of cost to obtain. Chucky has a Badger tattoo and he's on the road to signing with a Louisville team that lost 24 games last year. $$$ and it's tough to blame him.
