mjmill All-American

11:54am

Did we get confirmation on fouss? I know he hasn’t said anything, are we just assuming? I might have missed something.

gmoney7

11:58am

I’m basically counting guys right now who are not in the portal

mjmill

11:59am

Does Kozlowski have the lateral quickness to play the 3?

Mostlyaccurate

11:58am

I’m skeptical of that. I think Koz is a 4 in the Dalton Nixon mold, but

mjmill

12:01pm

Is Cream Abdul Jabbar still available?

Huge Manatee

12:03pm

Still in the portal, but is DNC and will likely end up at Saint Louis.

jreid191

Duke has SEVEN players into portal, 2 into NBA and NO coaching change

It was fun for 2 seasons. Now I just want it to go away

DodgerCoug

11:51am

I do like how it is 25% of the teams a season. Not every year like the NBA. They're on an awful losing streak. Cleveland

I haven’t seen a good one.

Fatalplacebo

11:51am

Angels are pretty good. They should just rebrand to their city connect.

My favorite suggestion thus far: Utah 47ers

Chester Copperpot

11:40am

Yeti is the most liked option

Magneto

11:42am

Outlaws is a terrible name. Absolutely garbage.

Icelandic Cougar

11:44am

No, 47ers is garbage. Outlaws is fine.

Chester Copperpot

12:03pm

One idea is the Utah Blizzard with the Yeti as the mascot

WJCougar

DQ upside down milkshake as mascot

Yep. I like this one

I like the burrito

SinkingQuffa

who's the other above the rim 4?

icecougar

I'm saying we should go get some from the Portal or HS ranks.

Stoked about Davis and the all clear that he’s 100% BYU still. Can’t wait to

I'd like to see more verticality there. I'd prefer to see Waterman split minutes as 3.

SinkingQuffa

11:47am

He’s too slow to play 3. More likely to play 5 than 3 and for good reason

Those guys plus retaining Hall and Saunders gives Young enough talent
