re: Will Wade sounds off on potential return, transfer portal, current state of college basket

This is spot on and why it will be really hard to be a top MBB program in the country. Why is Mulkey getting the players? Because she's a fricking legend and a proven coach and winner, portal and HS players want to play for her. People need to temper their expectations.
You're absolutely right, baseball is one of the top programs, as is football. Football, baseball and WBB can lure top players and coaches from the portal and HS a lot easier than MBB.
