***Official portal tracker thread***

Except Babb played the point guard and Haliburton the off guard. Genius on Prohm's part.
Haliburton still handled the ball a lot that season. I would consider them more co-PGs. Weiler-Babb averaged 4 assists per game and Tyrese averaged 3.6. You can see all the stats here.

Anyway, back to transfer portal news...
 
Interesting, oh they play for ISU, they are barely a 3 star.

Oooh Now they are at Pedo St, they clearly are a 4 star.

Can the system be any more BS.
This is exactly why those Blue Chip stats are a load of bull. They only get reevaluated when a player leaves. That's why guys like Will McDonald, Hakeem Butler, Breece Hall would never get a 5 star rating at ISU but if they leave then all of the sudden they are
 
I don't know what you want, the Auburn guy looks like a good get, but he's young and hasn't played much college offense from the sound of it.
And I dont know what you want?

People on here were panicking, begging for some bigger name recruits because they dont thing who we have gotten so far is good enough.

We go out and land some big time transfers, and you say, meh looks good, but we have to wait and see if he is good.

What do you want? What will make you say, hey seems like CJFR is on the right track? Hey we are getting some dudes in Portal. Hey we might be ok.

Seriously, there are a ton of people on here panicking because we didnt fill out our roster on day one of the portal, then when we started getting guys, they werent good enough, now its well we still dont know.
At some point you may have to take a breath and say hey things are going to be ok, things are coming together. We may not know how this all works out, but it looks like we are on the right track.

I think we've got some quality guys coming in, but I think Rogers is a great hire so maybe you're just taking your frustrations out on me because I'm here.
 
I am pretty sure most of the ex Iowa State players are not going to Pedo St. to be a depth piece.

Edit: I should have added that I was referring to players that transfer to Pedo St. from Iowa State and started for the Cyclones last season.
I would guess most of them are going to be backups or Penn State is gonna have a rough year next year. They could have gotten better players out of the portal elsewhere than 90% of the guys he took. It shows how loyal Campbell actually is because I might have taken 5 guys from ISU with me to a place like PSU
 
Looking at the roster of returning players prior to the portal opening up, how many have committed to returning without entering the portal at this point? I am curious how many roster spots that CJR has to fill. Here's a thought, when high school players are recruited what per centage stay for their whole career and successfully become contributors on the field? 50% or so? I personally think that players that have some playing time at the next level can be evaluated far better and actually with the amount of availability in the portal, this may work out better than Cyclone fans expect.
