2024 Edition-Bilas “Let them transfer at Halftime to the opposing team” Portal Update

Likewise. He had AC and Cliff in front of him, so X had to wait his turn, even though he supposedly told them at one of the first practices, "hey, which one of you boys is going to be sitting?" I probably screwed up the quote, but you get the idea. I've seen them all and X-Man marked the spot. Arguably, the greatest to ever wear the black and gold.

My memory must be doing a Biden. I could of sworn that X came in the year after CL left for the NBA????? Just checked, you were correct, he was a freshman while cliff was here.

X came in 1981, Cliff was drafted in 1982

No he just played behind Cliff and Antoine that first year. He still averaged 5 points or so because he played some in the first half, and more at the end of games when we had teams beat. He also was a good depth piece, when either one got in foul trouble.

The following year, Antoine was a Senior, and X a Sophomore. Both were great, and we were a Top 10 team, only losing 3 games the entire year.

In today's game, he would transfer out after his one year.

Can you imagine having a freshman X Man sitting on the bench? Holy cow! We were stacked!!!!

As much as I loved the Final Four run in 2013 and the great 14 year ride with Coach Marshall, there will never be any sports team I loved more than the early 80s Shocker Basketball teams. My 13 year old brain thought they were the greatest thing ever assembled.

I have always thought that team would have won the National Championship if not for the probation.

Had we not been put on probation losing our seven footer to KU and Cliff we would have gone undefeated with a national title - no one would have beat us

That's why we were on probation. It was a joke.

Losing KP and IA doesn't hurt a bit if we replace them with somebody better. On the other hand.............

There are lots of guys like IB.
Easily replaced? Probably, yet although IB had his faults, as look at my front window, I don't see any athletic 6'8" guys hanging around.
Will be interesting to see what HCPM and staff reel in to replace him.

Now Pohto?
He could drive you crazy at times with his mental approach to certain games. I immediately think of the Charlotte game and how it was obvious he didn't want to be there.
Then again, he made a commitment to stay after HCPM met with him and pulled his name out of the portal.
Say what you will, he was depth behind QB and much needed - especially after they realized Germany wasn't going to fill the bill.
However, he is not AAC level and needs a better situation to enjoy his last year. No explosion off the floor and has minimal lateral quickness.
The Fever mentioned Murray State and that may end up being an accurate assessment for his ability.

The replacements?
That's on HCPM and his Lieutenants to find and sign players who not only are better players, but fit the style he wants to play.

This will be one of the most interesting off seasons I can remember in a long time.

That is all.

Watching ISUb. Hoping we can pick up a goofy big white kid who wears his grandmother’s glasses.

That kid has some of the best nicknames I have seen in a while. Some include: Cream Abdul Jabbar, Milk Chamberlain, Larry Nerd, College Jokic, Larry Blurred to name a few.

I would love to add this kid!

Yes it was. Worse was having to sit in AFH while students waved fake money at WSU players, all while Ku players were systematically collecting cash on a weekly basis from bars owned in whole or in part by Doug Compton, a business man reputed to have ties to the Kansas City mob, known bookie and all around bad guy.

Oh yeah, he's Dollar Bill's neighbor nowadays.
