The G5 kids are rolling in. I guess that is the only play if you have very limited NiL money.

No.

I thought the same thing. Hope we can get some power four studs to fill out the roster.

In 2025, Michigan signed a half-decent player out of G6 UAB.

Dana had success at a mid-major program. Perhaps he wants guys who appreciate a shot to play in the Power 4 and will play well together?

What did Kentucky get for $22M?

Every concern outlined is certainly justified and may come to fruition, but IMO, a guy with one losing season deserves the chance to do it his way.

As Dana noted, based on their failure to perform up to expectations in 2025, many of the players who portaled out were going to be offered less money in 2026.

Dusty May brought in team-oriented guys and coached them up. I'm hoping Dana can do the same. Although I don't think we'll see what Michigan accomplished in 2025.

Yes, hoops a different animal than football…in theory should be a way higher volume (relative to roster size) of very good to great non-P4 players to pick off.

Great to see new PAC members getting some immediate indicators on where they still stand 😂

I am okay sticking with Altman. He deserves another year IMO.

My concern is that for every guy you get that makes the jump from G6 to Power 5 like Simpkins did, there is a whole list that do not. Recently for Oregon that list includes RaHeim Moss, Jesse Zarzuela, Amauri Hardy, Aaron Estrada, etc.

There are some big time players in the portal, but Oregon is not in the discussion for them right now. I guess that is disappointing.

To date:

• possible good news is Oregon is sitting with the current #7 portal in class

• possible bad news is it lost the portal's #18 and #41 rated players and has replaced them with the #74 and #164 rated players
