Why would any portal player commit to a school that didn't make the tournament before waiting to see who else is interested after the tournament is over?I'm all about the portal, but pretty crazy that the portal is open before the tournament even begins. Schools like Louisville get a huge advantage to host portal targets while schools in the postseason have to simultaneously prepare for games.
Hopefully the IU staff is working hard on this because you would assume we have at least 3 openings with the impending departures of TJD and JHS, and likely 4 if Logan is gone as everyone predicts. IMHO, we need at least 2 impact transfers, if not three. We need 2 guys who can score, at least one person who can play the 4/5, and at least one deadly shooter (regardless of position).
I'll keep a running list of the targets, and where they ended up. If someone else has already created such a thread, let me know and I'll delete this.

Or is this like the last place team getting first pick in next year's draft?
