Over 1000 D1 players in portal today.


Only the first day too, but probably the biggest day. Google says there are 5,600 total players in D1 basketball. You got to think about 1/5 are graduating too. So only 60% of players are staying where they are. Maybe around 50% when portal is over?

Haha all good
How mad is this board gonna be when we hang the 2026 Men’s national champs banner?
Weird to count some interims and not others.

Lea (Vandy): 5 seasons


For some reason that one jumps out. I would have guessed less years.

They are playing for $500,000 in NIL money to the winner.


Looks like 300K to winner, $100K to runner-up, 50K to 3rd and 4th place. No money to the first round losers.

Is it just a donation to the NIL fund from the tournament?

Will Wade has been to the Sweet 16 once in his career


Will Wade's team went to the Sweet 16, but he was not on the court for the tournament. So * on that.

15. Steven Pearl


He's still got his team playing in the post-season!!
I don't get the hype. He's only won 4 NCAA Tournament Games in 10 seasons as a HC and wasn't even on the court for 2 of them.
Looks like Kirby Smart.
That guy gets so much hype. He and the team look pretty good though.

Should be really nice weather all around the SEC for the weekend.

Will Wade went 1-5 following this post. :lol: Bounced out of the tourney before the round of 64. SP may not be the answer, but no thanks on Will Wade.

Auburn plays G. Tech tomorrow, and Texas this weekend, all in Auburn.

Maybe the players and coaches have bonuses for post-season appearances?


Steven Pearl would get a bonus for making the NCAA tournament, but not the NIT. I don’t think players can have bonuses like that with NIL, but I’m not sure.

With Auburn hosting, maybe that brings in extra $$ for the city and school? I doubt many fans travel for the game, so maybe not a ton.

Flipped the channel to the Big 12 tournament game going on at the same time, and the arena was packed.


Kansas packed out for a game in Kansas City. Who woulda thunk?

Could be worse. Like Tennessee. No Football National Champs or SEC Champs in the 21st century. No Final Fours ever. Yikes!!
