Positive vibes only thread; portal recruiting, system, updates, whatever. No kvetching here.

I personally think Lowe is a hell of a pickup. Fast, extremely quick first step, 3rd team all ACC. I think he was the best option on a truly bad team with a mid coach. Better teaching, better system, better pieces around him, he will flourish.

I trust Pope to do what he does. What else do you feel positive vibes about?

The Final 4 game is about to start. We should stop worrying about the portal for a few hours.

Positive vibes. I like both pick ups. Positive vibes, watch the tape on Lowe, plus athlete with good handle and body control. Positive vibes, Lowe has a good stroke and his 3pt percentage is probably more due to Pitt offense sucked . He shot nearly 40 % from 3 his freshman year. Positive vibes, SEC is losing a ton of 23 year old players who have played together multiple seasons.

POSITIVE VIBE, I trust in Pope to find the right guys to play his style and for what’s ON THE FRONT of the jersey instead of the name on the back!! Everyone needs to R E L A X!!

He won 2 games in his first year, more than anyone could have hoped for based on what we had done lately in the tournament. The future is bright.

Love adding Lowe and Williams. Multi year guys who will help us next season, but also should be back for 26-27.

Hoping to add Folgueiras soon. He’s another guy we should have for two years.

And Yates could be a nice pickup. He has multiple years of eligibility.

This is how you build a roster in the portal, not just to win next season, but to build for the next.

I think this strategy is really smart.

Currently we could have 10 players on scholarship. Here are the 10 with their RSCI ranks and class:
Otega- SR 72
Garrison- JR 39
Lowe- JR 97
Chandler- SO 30
Perry- SO 80
Noah- SO 109(247 composite as RSCI only does 100)
Kam Williams- SO 178(same as Noah)
Jasper- FR 18
Malachi- FR 27
Acaden- FR 30

A lot of highly regarded high school prospects on that roster. Notice the lack of experience in comparison to our team and basketball as a whole this season.
