re: MBB Portal Targets List

I’m talking about transfer portal players. They have an abbreviated shelf life. You can win year to year with them but they are not guys you build a program around. Without a roster base already in place, you are just treading water year to year.

We are in the tread water portion of this rebuild. We have a solid core of program built guys in Ward, Reed, and Williams. We have a solid recruiting class coming in with Givens, Miller, and Miller. We also have Chest eligible to play. So the base to build around is on the roster an developing. In year 3, the portal is the duct tape that needs to hold this thing together until the HS recruiting and development is further along. Its not like we need 5+ great portal additions to compete next year. 2-3 good portal grabs takes us a step forward. There is zero reason we shouldn't expect our coach to be able to deliver on that.

Based on what we did this past season and what we have coming back, there is no reason why we shouldn't expect another step forward next season.
