At least that's what Cal might tell us. Not that we care what he thinks, but he does make some sense.

"You may think I'm crazy, but I told my staff I only want to have eight or nine guys," Calipari told Robinson, who is now executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. "They're leaving anyway, and why would I develop a kid for someone else? Why would I do that?"

Calipari said he wants to use the other roster spots for walk-ons and rely on those non-scholarship players and graduate assistants to help the team prepare for its opponents next season.

"I want those [graduate assistants] to have played in Europe or just got done playing and can still play," he said. "We can use them in practice. The women's programs have five guys that they call 'managers,' but that's who they scrimmage against. Maybe I do it that way. We have some walk-ons, we have some [graduate assistants], we have eight or nine guys and that's it. And if there is a 10th guy, he knows he's the 10th guy."

I don't know that it is just because we are nearing the end of the processes, but man it seems like coach Davis has created a very thin margin of error on our three main recruitment needs from the portal.

We need a three-point shooter and the only name on our board is Cade Tyson. While it sounds like he could announce as early as today, we've also heard that for a week now. I do believe we get Tyson but we don't have anyone else in the hopper that I have even heard of.

We need a four to replace Ingram. We have gone all in on Theiro, who is visiting Pitt this weekend and I know the Intel says the staff feels good about Theiro, but I also remember them feeling good about Bradshaw. Again, don't know who is in the queue should we whiff on Theiro.

We need a quality five in a big way. This might be our best chance in that we have two potential players to fill the void. Omoruyi has a visit scheduled, Aidoo claims he will visit after he is done in Fayetteville. Again though, if we miss on both, and even if not for the lack of trying, where do we go?

None of this is a criticism on Coach Davis or the staff and maybe it's just because, as I said earlier, we are just nearing the end of the processes, but a miss on any of our three positions and we will have some serious hills to climb next season.

Trust in Hubert. As gross and dirty as portal season feels, it's still pretty exciting to sit and watch our team form.

As always, it's a GDTBATH!!!

Let's go!

I saw Sean Pedulla from Virginia Tech has...

I didn’t see anywhere discussing this so I started a thread.

Our NIL really sucks. But it was good in previous years. What has changed?

I've been assured by a source he is coming...

There is roughly 700-800 in the portal already and seems to be getting updated by the minute. Anyone see any good fits so far? Admin let me know if this link is a competitors link and I will remove it.
