It seems SIU hasn't had their end of season meetings yet which could result in some players leaving, I stand by one of my prior comments........... while I have been critical of this staff's ability to recruit (and win to this point), they have been absolutely incredible at keeping players engaged and eager to stick with the program. That is a huge part of sustainability. The next step is to land some impact players who can step in and make a difference right away and then start winning titles and some tournament games !

The portal concept sucks.
The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.

Tevin Brown from Murray State is entering the NBA Draft and signing an agent

WoW! I was hoping he'd transfer here. Really good player, but is he good enough to get drafted? I think he's nuts for signing with an agent. I'd test the waters first, like AJ Greene, in case I wanted to come back for one more year.
On the other hand, I think he's more likely to get drafted than Greene.
KJ Williams next?
Murray won't be picked to win the MVC next year.
Jawaun Newton has entered the transfer portal from Evansville, can’t say I expected him back:

There are rumblings that Bradley may lose Terry Roberts to the transfer portal. Tough loss if true.

This is sad. Mid-majors are in trouble. It's now the developmental league for power conferences. The mvc has lost a great percentage of it's best players the last 3 years. Just watched Laravia play for Wake Forest in the NIT the other night. He was 2nd team all ACC this year. Imagine how good a team like Indiana State would be with Laravia and a healthy Tyreke Key. If Southern is able to keep players like Jones and Domask for their entire college career that will speak volumes about the positive culture Mullins in developing!

As it waters down our conference, which in turn affects SIU, it is indeed not ideal. The good news, as you mention, is that one of the Mullin's strengths is team buy in and cohesiveness. If they are ever able to recruit at a high level this program could get back to the glory days. I remain confident that it may still happen.

Any update on if Mullins has had his meetings with players yet? I'm curious if we may have another miracle where we lose very little/nothing or if we just aren't to that point in our offseason yet?
