Anyone know what other schools showed interest in Dorres. That is always a barometer I like to judge against. If he had some higher level suitors and we nabbed him, than that would be a good sign.

Or give it someone else to proofread?

I like the Euro connection. I think that brand of ball is more similar to Mooneyball than what we play in the U.S. Anyone who averages 16 points as a freshman, no less, playing D1 ball, can play some hoops. Our last big man we took in the portal from a Patriot League school turned out...

Damn!!!

Confirms he is not an A-10 player, which we all knew, but thank goodness, Mooney started him the for 2 full seasons to find that out.

Yeah, agreed. It doesn't make any sense.

On one hand, the way the portal is set up, you would be foolish not to enter your name into it. On the other hand, if I had a kid who was good enough to play D-1 athletics, I would hope that I would have instilled the value a 4 year college experience, commitment to team and a degree in my...

Need a starting center, probably a back up center, and a starting power forward out of the portal. I guess some would see that as 3 bigs. I see it is as 2 centers and forward. Also need a starting 2 guard in the portal. That would be 4 of our 5 portal slots. Last one, goes to best...

As a Penn State fan, I can sh*ttalk Mike Rhoades whenever I want. He has been abject disaster in Happy Valley. He is now trying to Mooney build a program with freshman and that is going predictably horribly in the portal era. They are two peas in a pod. I agree it is not all his fault...

Agree 100%. If we roll out Tanner as our starter, I may have an aneursym. But in Mooneyworld, Tanner is a senior, who started the past 2 years, whereas Harper is a sophomore, who never started, and played some irregular bench minutes last year. Who do you think in Mooney's mind has a...

Seems like a really good hire. We got caught in a really bad situation with Aaron taking the UVA job out of the blue and late in the coaching search cycle. So, while I normally would advocate for a more extensive search for a head coach, she looks like a really solid replacement for Roussell...

Harper hasn't shown me enough to make him the starting SG for us next year. Does he deserve a shot sure, but we've got 5 more slots to fill, I want a proven 2 guard coming out of the portal. If Harper beats out a proven player, than great, but going with him as our starting SG is a huge...

Nice get for sure. We still have 5 rosters spots to fill though, coming off a consecutive 5 win conference seasons, our roster is devoid of talent, except for AA and this kid. SLU and VCU resigned their entire great rosters, VCU just got a big portal get from Creighton, who put up similar...

It was unfortunate the Penn State's inept AD hired Rhoades away from VCU. VCU had finally found their coach who could match Mooney's mediocrity. Had we given them just another year or two, VCU would have found out the hard way. Of course, VCU would have canned Rhoades after a year or two of...

Let us hope. But might Kaiser be our starting SG?
