By end of April, the Portal Kombat topic may well have the most posts of all topics on the site.

There's really no current IU player who's a "must stay." Dorn is the closest thing, and he's not all that. It's actually a good thing for IU that these guys are bolting.

Wow, move out day for IUBB.  Nothing that makes me say "oh no, not him".

Looks like Bidunga is going to Texas Tech. Must be nice to have unlimited funds. Those high oil prices are filling their coffers.

Hope we find some undervalued talent. Four or five Wilkerson level at various positions, plus tough depth.

The portal has been open for more than nine hours...not much going on just yet (at least publicly). The names for IU that are getting the most "buzz" of mutual interest: Markus Burton (would be IU's best point guard since Yogi and should have two years left), Rowan Brumbaugh (profiles as a good secondary ball handler next to Burton) and Adam Olsen (sharpshooter that doesn't do much else but does have size and would hopefully be a good bench piece). J.P. Estrella continues to be linked with IU as well.

Two portal additions today that might get IU interest: Owen Freeman (formerly of Iowa and Creighton) and Troy Henderson (a freshman point guard for Tennessee originally from Richmond, VA).

But I thought we were told  DD needed to build a culture with returning players instead it will be just like last year whole new roster once again.

They're paying him 5 million. He's way too expensive for basically every school out there except TT. That's an absurd price to pay for his production. IU dropping 6 million to land him, accomplishes what exactly?

That is my point why anyone ever thought we had a chance is beyond me we do not have the money. It was not even a pipe dream it was never going to happen
