2 full days into the portal season and I will guess all the Redbird player meetings are complete? And here we are...
I’m not sure about that. I think the Sissoko meeting was a no brainer on not wanting to waste a roster spot on someone who was never going to contribute. Or maybe Sissoko didn’t even need a meeting and saw the writing on the wall.2 full days into the portal season and I will guess all the Redbird player meetings are complete? And here we are...

That’s only one of many reasons though.I mean for the most part, players leaving are schools who are changing coaches, right?
UIC, SIU, MOST will be in a rebuild. It's very likely Drake and INST will be looking for new HCs as well. Valpo is showing some signs of progress with the announcement of their key pieces coming back. I've thought the last few years UNI was immune to the Portal Flu but they've been hit harder than they have, I'm going to say ever. There is ZERO reason the Redbirds shouldn't finish top 4 if there are 5 new HCs in the league.I’m hoping and guessing that no key guys leave program and Pedon’s management style.
I am hoping Coach is very direct bout some leaving - he’s in the role to make that happen for Success and moving us to Top 4 in MVC.
Pedon is in Yr 3 and has no excuses as to what skill is needed to compete. If he doesn’t ACT then I’m Very Concerned about his future with Redbirds. I firmly believe in him but…… this spring is his time to shine and show us what he’s made of in recruiting/building.
I’m not willing to share names but just look at Stats and u know who are the candidates to depart - very straightforward thinking.
What I don’t have is a feel for is the challenge for Coach and staff to bring players in vs the competition- we have a fine University, playing time and young men will b treated fairly and with respect.
Pedon has done fine in HS recruits but previous Portal is a lower success rate and that Must Change. We gotta do better in Spring resources.
Our Redbirds have reached out.
I'm still trying to figure out why the Kinzone isn't on the menu yet. Guessing there would need to be some Wisconsin cheese curds in there...If I recall correctly he has some family here - I forget the exact connection but it’s the family that owns Lucca Grill.
If unlimited a la Baldini isn’t the NIL starting point somebody dropped the ball.
Not catchy enough. If you were taller enough to be a baller we’d have A-Dunkers on the menu yesterday with a nice check headed your way.I'm still trying to figure out why the Kinzone isn't on the menu yet. Guessing there would need to be some Wisconsin cheese curds in there...
Would anybody eat an ISU QuinnDog? Feel like we could make that happen with some $$$ flowing to RBF coffers…I'm still trying to figure out why the Kinzone isn't on the menu yet. Guessing there would need to be some Wisconsin cheese curds in there...
We’d have to leave the Hulka Smash for a themed whiskey drink next door…I'm still trying to figure out why the Kinzone isn't on the menu yet. Guessing there would need to be some Wisconsin cheese curds in there...
