Any idea who Coach Painter is talking about?

That comment is not even relevant, as we had no room to go to the portal.....so CMP is just yapping.

Now if he doesn't go into the portal next year......as both things can be true. CMP frosh (& Furst) are developing, but one can also get an impact guy (with the right attitude) out of the portal.

Jones was a transfer last year, does Painter think he didn't help? I don't think so. If he'd been in the portal would Painter have not taken him? I don't think so.

Like you said, there is was no space so no, no one here was calling for a portal player. People here DO think Painter should not absolutely reject the portal as option.

Who was calling for portal use before the season? I certainly wasn't. For the simple fact that the rules hadn't changed yet and we were full which everyone knew.

The 15 scholarship limit had to apply for this year tho, correct? If I'm adding up rt in my head, we are at 13 and Catchings would've been 14 as was the discussion last spring and summer. Sooo, not sure that we didn't have a spot and certainly did after Catchings took off, albeit very late in the process at that time.

No it’s for this next season (25-26)

Sounds like you took the long way around to say we are 100% in agreement. 😎

So, we still had a problem if Catchings did stay? Somebody would've had to give up their scholarship?

Yep. We were oversigned and needed to do something if Catchings didn't bail.
