Purdue's Morton to the portal.  Can't say I blame him.

Decent defender, but a liability on offense.  Was a decent 3 point shooter his first two years, but lost his confidence and has barely shot at all this year.

I was shocked he was still there.  The highest rated Western PA recruit since DeJuan Blair, but he never looked the part.  Western PA basketball ain't great, and most of the high recruits go to prep school.  Credit to him, he stayed at his public HS, and had a shot at a state title, before COVID shut it down, but you can also see that maybe he didn't face the best competition in Western PA public school.  The best Western PA public school kid this year is headed to Lehigh, and is considered a reach, but he's a legacy recruit.

His porn star NIL ran out?

Where is that coming from?

Besides, if there is anybody in CBK who is bringing in that sweet sweet XXX NIL, it's this guy:



Grant Nelson, Alabama

His barbed wire tattoos.  I haven't seen that on a dude outside of 1990s porn stars and low card WCW wrestlers

You apparently watched alot more '90's porn than I did.  NTTAWWT.

For the record though, apparently it is making a comeback...

Barbed wire tattoos are back from the 90s - and they're all over Instagram - Daily Star

Morton and Gillis both using Covid years, both great dudes.  Likely headed to Notre Dame is my prediction to be with Shrews.  We are over signed by 1 and had no room for them to stay for their Covid year.  Thought Gillis might call it and get on with his life, but I guess not.

Gillis could absolutely contribute at ND.  Figured Morton would transfer down a level.

I'm not sure he's a Mike Woodson type of player.

Kentucky going from Calipari to Mark Pope. All right

Apparently they never went after Billy Donovan.  I just wanted to see Billy Donovan coach Kentucky against Florida on Billy Donovan Court

Pope did play there, so that's the connection.

In today's landscape, who wants that job?

Quite honestly, who wants any CFB or CBB job? You have to be a little crazy to want to work in that environment.
