I was at the ISU Auburn game at Hinkle.. he looked like the only player on ISU that belonged athletically on the court with Auburn.add another.....from ISU
Illinois State's Freshman Ty'Reek Coleman enters the portal.
He started more than half their games, was 3rd leading scorer at 10 ppg, 42% 3-pt shooter
so ISU loses 4 of their top 6 players and 7 of their top 10.
And there's still almost 2 weeks left for Kinzinger or Chase Walker to enter the portal
Last sentence: True dat.I would expect Walker to leave just because he will be looking at his final season and can get more money and a better chance at playing in the NCAA Tour. Kinsinger did not have a great season so his options more then likely went down. His size does not help him either as far as getting on a bigger team.
Again money has ruined college sports period.

Rioux is asking $3 millionOlivier would be an absolute sensation at the mid-major level, just based on the novelty that he represents, let alone his likely increased ability to be effective at the mid-major level.
Rioux is asking $3 million
averages 0.6 ppg
what a bargain!
Shane Tuttle is a satire account. There are no other reports of Olivier Rioux's asking price, but I'm certain it will be not be within $2.9M of the $3M mentioned.Rioux is asking $3 million

In defense of the Bradley fanbase they have received nothing but negative news in the last couple weeks. Natural to be down. Once they receive some positive good news the mood will change. That shows a passion for the program. Which I would want to have rather than a fanbase that didnt careHey guys,
I put together a two parter in terms of where the teams in the Valley are right now - sort of the pulse of it all.
For better or worse, I think that the BU fanbase, at least on this board, is probably one of the most negative right now. I can understand it because it's similar to what happened at SIU of the combination of key players leaving and graduations, there's not a ton to be optimistic about other than growth from the young guys and some potentially really good three new guys.
I do wonder if people would be less mad in general if we were Valpo/UIC who retained a ton of key guys or even like Indiana State, who after a really frustrating season, fans there seem excited to clean house and start from scratch with a new roster. Bradley's caught in the middle a bit.
I do also wonder if we do land someone really good in the portal if the outlook gets a little rosier.
Anyway, I do think that recapping where teams are right now is important and really difficult to follow unless you're on it constantly. Enjoy!

Agreed. It also doesn't help that BU was essentially "middle of the pack" this year. Not bad, but not great either. If we had been bad, yes, it would be more positive because a new roster can only be the same or better etc. But being below the top but still relatively good and seeing good players leave is a bit demoralizing, at least until new players are added to the roster.In defense of the Bradley fanbase they have received nothing but negative news in the last couple weeks.
