No insight here. If I were going into the portal, I wouldn't wait until after the CBI. I know it's free trip, but portal players are already visiting prospective schools.

As I recall, there is a process involved with the portal that includes the player requesting it first by discussing it with his coach. I don't think they can just up-and-Twitter that they plan to transfer. I mean, they ***could*** do that but it's not all that cut and dried since their scholarships are connected to the basketball program and -- hence -- the season until it's complete. We seem to have concocted a scenario where a player just makes it public that he's transferring. As a couple of others have said, there's not a setting for a mass exodus like they have at SIU or UIC. The turnover is actually more about replacing graduating players. A couple of those slots are already filled with announced recruits. I think we might see a surprise or two this spring. Then we'll be all giddy again.

Then we'll be all giddy again. There are players on NCAA tournament teams that entered the portal immediately when it opened, before their teams had played in the tournament. None of them were starters or impact guys as far as I could tell, but it has happened. Our guys could be in the portal already if they wanted, but I’m sure they wouldn’t be welcome on the trip to Daytona if they did. We will probably see some announcements next week, but it shouldn’t be a mass exodus. Chuck has been reposting his Carol McClintock add last week. I’m assuming that video post comes with some sort of paycheck. Hopefully that is enough to keep him happy and in Evansville for next season, and he develops into the guy we all know he can be.

I can see some guys who are going on somewhere to grad school being in the Portal, but that's really not the same thing. I know zilch about McClintock but her agency has been advertising on Aces radio for a lot of years. Maybe she found Chuck a nice little bungalow not far from the ritzy part of town. All in all, I'd like to see Chuck come back and become a really important player in the Valley. It seems he could have stepped into that role toward the end and didn't -- but the difference between being a frosh and a seasoned veteran is this summer.

Well, yeah he is still on the team until he announces that he isn't. If he's not traveling with the team, it's because he isn't going to play. If he's injured and can't play, that would be why he isn't going to play. If he's not traveling, he's probably injured. He can still enter the portal. There isn't a 12-hour window on it. Then again, maybe Michael Day outplayed him in practice and Ben is sulking on back to Tipton.

Players are being recruited before they enter the portal.I have heard numerous coaches say during interviews that they started recruited a player as the season is being played.
