2025 Portal Watch

[bigticket1]

Lots of men's movement today. Isaiah Carr (Denver), Mier Panoam (UND) and Babacar Diallo (KC). Also, DeAndre Craig from Denver announced earlier in the week.

JoJo Moore from ORU has intention to enter portal.

Cluff has entered the portal with a DO NOT CONTACT designation.

The only other possibility would be if Hendo is leaving and he would go with him. But it's not likely that Hendo already has a job lined up this quickly. If Oscar goes to Ames, does JT Rock see the light and realize that he's not going to get an opportunity there ?

I know nothing about JT Rock but other than being 7' what has he proven? Based on how much he played this year at Iowa State I'd have to think he'd be a project.

It's the Summit league, JT would do just fine.

Is that really our goal? To only compete in the Summit League?

Not saying he wouldn't be a good addition but if he wasn't from Sioux Falls would he even be on our radar?

Based on how Cluff performed this year we have a pretty good sales pitch to pitch to any portal big man. I'd much rather have someone like Cluff that is ready to come in and provide big time contributions.

JT Rock would be good in the Summit. But he's an Iowa State player.

I'm worried about Hendo leaving (Drake?), and taking some of the guys with him.

Is Klink given a chance to lead the program if/when Hendo leaves? He's on this 3rd head coach here.

Good question, he's been 'passed over' twice, and stayed and been the good soldier.

Things I have heard through the grapevine... that the players want Coach Pete. (but this was last year.)

Former 17pt/g Fr from STM Andrew Rhode back in portal after 2 years at Virginia. I check on his stats periodically. Last season he averaged 4.3 ppg in 25mins/g but shot just 29%, 25.7% from 3. This year he's averaging 9.3pt/g on 43.2% (41.3% from 3) while averaging 31mpg

Once you start quitting on people ( team) it gets easier to do so

Wondering about this.

I believe Hendo was one of the first, if not the first, D1 school to offer him. (There were a LOT though). So maybe it means nothing, but maybe not.

It was a factor in Oscar coming here, and has been with some others in different sports. We'll see if it comes into play in this case. And the possibility on Hendo leaving could make a difference as well.
