There are over 2600 players from D1 in the portal
I think we will find enough to fill a roster

Players go back to the school they are currently at all the time. Caden Durham just did it with LSU.

That’s false, Florida had zero on their national title team last year,
That's not totally true. Clayton, Handlogten, Richard, were all top 100 transfers (in their respective classes). But to the bigger point, No, you don't have to have a team of nothing but top 50 transfers/HS recruits to win a championship....but you also can't have a bunch of guys outside of the top 150 (generally speaking) either.
Wade is in a little bit of a different spot than Golden was last season in that Wade is having to turn over the entire roster. Florida had some returning players last year. Then again, no one is expecting a Final Four appearance next season.
Regardless, the extreme positions are ridiculous. No, Wade is not going into next season with one 4 star transfer, 7 guys from BRCC, and 5 empty seats on the bench. But, as of now, it remains curious why there has been virtually zero information of the roster building when there is info for every other school

I don’t want to get into the difference in the separate rankings or what goes into them but there’s no through line between them as far as talent eval goes. The point is you don’t need highly ranked guys to find what you’re looking for. Outside of the McDonald’s and Nike kids a lot of the rankings are lazy and unreliable. You throw in the Bediako rule, the 5 for 5 situation, the Draft withdrawals deadline still a month away plus the almost 3k kids still in the portal and there’s no reason for this panic.

I’d worry in August. That’s when players have to be in class.

The why is simple, changes in college athletics combined with the normal NBA draft eval process. All of this takes time and it's still up in the air.
Yesterday we got confirmation that the 5-for-5 rule is most likely going to pass but current student athletes (Any Athlete who was enrolled and elgible in the 25-26 Academic Year) will remain in the current 4 & 5 Model. That's one of a number of dominoes to fall for many of the xfer portal players remaining.

No one has done this. This is one more shite post referencing a coach who has been gone for a month. Wade is judged by his own stand alone success or failure and any questioon about him should have no connection to the previous coaach.
By the way its now almost a week and you sttill have not produced one post where I was critical of Will Wade. Not one. Zilch. Nada. You are still the bloviated empty suit that you always are.

False on both counts, you are not Matt McMahon, the mcmen are something of their own. Your “challenge” has already been exposed for what it really was so you can continue with the theatrics as long as you like but it’s been debunked.
