Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
Victory for U-N-I!
Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

Michigan reached out early to Devries. He's been in the mix there for awhile. I think them and West Virginia are the most likely. Niko's wife being from the WVU area may be a bit of a boost to him. Ok St. is a weird one and could go after Will Wade if they really want to go for it.Comment

Heise in the portal makes sense, he has upward mobility elsewhere.
Peksari and Cole make sense given one isn't from this country and isn't getting a lot of playing time and the other is kind of being pushed out/seeing the writing on the wall.
Born/Tytan/Hutson with one year left staying makes sense given they have a significant role on this team that they likely would struggle to find elsewhere at this level.
Duax and Wolf make no sense esp given Heise leaving opens up time and it's honestly coming off like they are a bit bitter. I obviously don't know the full context to the situation so I could be made to like an a** but I don't really see what opportunity they're gonna have elsewhere. Entering the portal doesn't necessarily mean they can't return to UNI if we don't fill, right? I'm certainly not saying we should hold out and not aggressively pursue other better players, but if we're struggling to find that and they're struggling to find a better place a return shouldn't be ruled out.
Campbell is definitely the biggest of concerns left given I feel he has at least some upward potential.Comment

How is it coming off like they’re bitter? Have there been comments by either on social media? If not, it’s not fair to make assumptions like that.Originally posted by Username View Post
I agree with others hoping Campbell stays. I also hope he’s living in the weight room all off season.Comment

Ummmm…. InSU players are potentially benefitting from not getting selected for the NCAA. Good for them, if it actually happens.

I tend to be on the pessimistic side but I cannot see this portal situation as anything but an opportunity to right the ship. Outside of Heise, we are not losing guys who are going to go on to make an impact at better programs. Heise has had one footb out the door for a while. It's early, though, we'll see how it goes.Comment

You’re right. It’s not a fair assumption. I’m probably the one who’s bitter.Originally posted by SteinPizza View Post
on the outside looking in it makes no sense, but I could clearly be missing something from the inside that led to this.
Still, they were good sized athletic wings who I’m pessimistic we’ll find better alternatives to. Hopefully I’m proven wrongComment

I've said it outside this board but I think UNI fans are in for a rude awakening for where our talent level really was when you see where Duax and Wolf end up. I think there's a very real chance Duax goes and plays with his brother at Upper Iowa and Wolf is only getting an expanded role in The Summit League.
Jake is, by far, the best Xs and Os guy in the Valley but he needs to increase the talent level so that there's some margin for error.

UNI has a decent chance of finding better alternatives if the staff revises its approach to recruiting and adapts to the current environment. Guys (transfers) like Atin Wright at Drake, Duke Deen at Bradley, Conwell and Swope at Indiana State…those types of players are out there. Guys who can be key pieces at the MVC level. It’s up to the staff to get more aggressive in finding and signing them. They’re all not necessarily going to be wings, but players who raise the overall level of athleticism.Originally posted by Username View Post

Drew Daniel in the portal.Comment

Why is Chase Courbat not in the portal?Comment

I'm not panicking by any means by all of these transfer announcements, but it is a little strange how many are coming through. I feel like this amount is typically when there is coaching turnover. I'm not saying or thinking there is. Just weird.Comment
