Is he expected to stay in it?

Read last night they haven't moved on anyone in the Portal when I saw the 'way too early top 25 rankings'

Didn't one of their yokels post repeatedly the last week they expected him back?
If it's the one I am thinking of he thought Adou and Fland were the only losses they would have and everyone else would return along with their incoming freshmen. I can tell them if they do some aren't playing because Cal will never platoon again.

I think Thiero was projected around 26th pick so I can see him being ready to move on. Yaxel was like 28th I think on nbadraftroom
I saw 39th on the one I looked at that would be solid 2nd round.
If he gets a agent it's a done deal if not he might come back.

If you believe in yourself you get to work on that second contract as soon as possible. That’s the one that’s life changing
That is life changing money for sure.
Even the kids that can't make the NBA if their good enough to get 500K or so for 4 years in a roll in collage that is also life changing money if you manage it right to a lower extent.

Makes room for Ament plus have the incoming swing from overseas coming in.
With Thomas and Acuff coming in could be a interesting year.
Could use on true big man with some meat on the bones because it's looking like rugby under the goal now.

It will be worse for the Hogs when Cal gets his sea legs. He will still bring in 5 star freshmen only to watch them leave early. His misses though have a chance of hanging around now due to NIL. A "one and done" like Wagner has the possibility of a senior night now with the the new NIL landscape. I still think they experience lots of turnover in year 2 and beyond because if Cal can really get rolling recruiting he will just push these fringe guys out for his freshmen.

But the Arkansas fans insisted their entire team was coming back next season! Surely they couldn't have been wrong about that?

Always loved Thiero’s hustle and physical style of play. I wish he would have stayed with us last year. Wasn’t a great shooter but he had a level of physicality and athleticism that we were missing a bit of. Shouldn’t be a problem this next year for us, though.

I wish him the best and he’ll always be a Cat in my eyes. He will have a tough path to making an NBA roster long term but he has potential.

I am wondering if Cal has woke up and decided to keep some guys around. NIL money can change things. The day he said having a bunch of guys drafted was the greatest day in UK history Mitch should have called him up on the carpet!!

He has the body the drive and the talent. Gut feeling is he will work himself into a role somewhere and he started college as almost an afterthought. Hard working dude!
