I was shocked when he wasn't in the portal yesterday. He just didn't seem to fit with the scheme. Need to roll more on screens instead of stepping out.

I am seeing a comment saying "1/2 way there." Then I see a comment saying 4 is the target.
Is Petrakis the only one to enter the Portal from ISU?

Here’s hoping Petrakis finds a place that fits him. He didn’t gravitate to the post, even when he was our biggest/tallest guy on the floor. Sometimes you bring in a guy because you have open rides and don’t want to commit one longer than a year. He gets a chance to find A better fit and we get a key scholarship to fill.

Is it just me or does seeing "Ever Loyal" in the top corner of a transfer portal kid's commitment post seem disingenuous?
In most cases I’d agree. This kid went from starting on pretty good Loyola teams to not playing in bad. I don’t blame him. He wasn’t the problem with Loyola this year.

As of now, most out considering Sissoko and Kotovs scholarships as open. So right now we have 3 to fill with those two and Petrakis. I see at least one more entering the portal and no more than two.

I'll reiterate that I believe Pedon thinks the freshmen will be ready to contribute earlier than a lot of folks expect.

I think Pence will be more ready to play than the other two. JK will be a great addition but believe will take him a bit more time to become comfortable at this level
I think JK has all the tools to be ready day one, but will have to adjust to the speed. He’s got great vision and is a + passer so he could prove us wrong, but it’s hard to assume the change in speed won’t slow him a bit at first.
