I don't know if the poor portal recruiting has been a result of not being able to offer possessions because Domask and Jones were going to get most of them but I guess we're going to find out this offseason. They have 5 spots to fill and we're going to be losing Domask (27.8% of possessions, 132nd in the country) and Jones (28.2% of possessions, 115th in the country).
Recruiting seems to have gone completely quiet the last few days, some of which might have to do with the possibility of a coach leaving which isn't ideal right now.

Looks like we have 4 open scholarships for next year.

I wouldn’t expect Brown back so it’ll be 5. Also guessing it doesn’t stay at the 5.

If I'm a player in this situation, I see one of two thought processes that lead to a decision:
- Stay and possibly get more playing time and become the star, or
- The roster situation looks bleak, and I prefer to be a part of a winning team, so I'll take my chances elsewhere

Since I don't know anyone on the team i will wait for the facts. I know that is not popular.
everything I have heard is he is not going to be back. He is graduating and starting life

6-4 Forward from Danville, IL that was a 3 star recruit out of high school. Averaged 10.9 PPG in his Sophomore season at Denver
@dr222 And Christmas comes early for Spike.
JD was a better player than Spike gave him credit for - good rebounder and defensive player, played very hard. Injuries really messed with his career.
His Daliesque free throw form was a thing of wonder, and I'll never forget it! 🙂
Good luck to JD in future endeavors.
He was mediocre defensively and as a rebounder. Opposing posts tended to score at will against him because he was slow and had poor positioning. He wasnt very athletic. He didn't alter shots and could have been called for a moving screen every time he attempted one. Probably one of the worst offensive players to ever set foot on an NCAA court.
I didn't hate Muila. By all accounts he seemed like a nice, down to earth kid.
But when he is a big part of your team, your team isn't going to be good.
If he was the 13th scholarship on the end of the bench who only played when the game was in hand or if necessary because of fouls or injury he would have been fine.
But when a player like that gets major minutes it is a big issue for your team and the players who he is stealing minutes from because he added less than nothing offensively and very little defensively.
I wish him luck in life.
He did average 5 rbs per 16mins per game. Not bad.
But what about the artistry of his FTs? And he led all of D1 in LVCs!
("lane violations caused" for the uninformed) 🙂
Seems like another target is gone? Conor Enright is in the replies recruiting him to Drake. He’s an Illinois Wolves product

@salukiworld it’s hilarious that when Mullins was hired everyone talked about the Wolves program being a pipeline. The staff can’t even land those kids besides Ebube and one year of Benson.
