Portal update. 1871 names in the portal. Most are DI but a few DII players have snuck in. Roughly 700 have found new homes or gone back to their original teams, so over 1100 still to pick from.

We beat St. Joes 8-5 this afternoon.

Great article. I bumped into Ed and Ann Marie this morning at The Chancellor's Inauguration. What he did for Lorenzo Sutton is beyond description, but that's really who he is. Congrats on your Sign Man retirement! I'm pretty sure that Ed and Ann Marie will be at the Spring Football Game tomorrow so ...

From what I saw, I don't think he would have made any meaningful contribution this year. Good kid, but needs to get much stronger and also needs to ramp up his BB instincts a lot to play in the A10. Height alone might get him by in a lower conference, but he still would have to work on things. I hop...

In case anyone cares: Kaily “KG” Godek@kgumass23 · 9h BREAKING: @UMassWBB lands two transfers from the portal this afternoon/evening. Villanova transfer Megan Olbyrs committed to UMass this afternoon via her Instagram. Lipscomb transfer Aleah Sorrentino committed to UMass this evening via X. @Jschre...

It's up near North Adams, in the middle of nowhere.

^ It was an injury redshirt so he will have 4 years to play. He was a highly sought after recruit with several high major offers. We also offered him. He went to IMG Academy, so he did play some tough competition prior to Texas A&M. When it comes to a center, I want an experienced transfer. I co...

^ Have you heard of Florida, MA? Yes, it exists. I'd consider moving there just so I could tell people I live in Florida and go to every UMass BB game.

In the podcast, Frank did make reference to paperwork having to be completed (whatever that means). But it does infer that he has players committed but can't announce anything yet. He also said he had a visitor this week and another one is coming with his family this weekend.

^ If you see Kyle Wilson, tell him we hope he's a better poker player than a basketball player.

I didn't hear the podcast, but maybe we have some news coming.

Podcast is out, and it sounds like Frank has reeled in a few players (just can’t announce them yet) and a player is visiting UMass this weekend.

Several A10 teams have done a great job in the portal. Not sure why nothing has been made public for us, but we will need 3 studs to be in the hunt for top 4 next year. As Mike said, it would have been nice to see some news prior to UMass Gives. As of now, BB has received just 7 gifts.

^ Agreed. But he'll probably be a starter there and probably not here. So as much as I hate to lose him, he did the right thing for his career.

Got home late last night from a few days in Maine, without internet access. Wanted to see if I missed anything. I did not! Oh well, maybe this is the week. On the topic of freshmen, I agree 100% with DoctorJ. Unless you get a legit 5*, 4* or get really lucky, most freshmen take a year. They need to ...

Just so we know what is happening at some P5 schools. Congrats to Cal - it looks like he'll be able to pay whatever he wants to attract/keep players. From ESPN.com: At Arkansas, Calipari will reportedly have the NIL assistance of deep-pocketed boosters, such as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Tyso...
