Here's a possibilty that could happen! If I'm wanna UC's Prized incoming recruits! Wouldn't you start to question who you'll be playing with next year?

5) Shon Abaev, G/F, Fr
6) Keyshuan Tillery, G, Fr

It's a possibilty one or both could de-commit ?

Highly unlikely. Both are being paid handsomely and UC probably would insist that they remain (or return the money). Don't count on it.

I’d think just the opposite, lots of playing time available.

[BearKatz]

Your probably right, but? Both of these players considering who they are, would probably be guranteed a starting spot on most Big 12, Big 10, ACC, SEC, Big East etc,.... Teams.

Not likely. You're practically guaranteed a starting spot on a BigXII roster where you can display your game to other high profile programs for the following year.

Has Page announced his entry to the portal? I haven’t seen that yet, although we can pretty much assume it will happen.

Yes, news dropped in last 10-15 mins ... I listed him in the portal thread, but not in a separate post because so much was happening at once

It’s such a bad situation in Clifton
We have players on the team that are only motivated by money. They don’t really care about the school or much less getting a degree. Plus you have a coach that blames everyone but himself, It doesn’t matter who the portal produces for 2025-26 team, the status quo will continue. I watch UC- Indiana from Jan 1992 on YouTube last night. I had so much pride the way they played, defended, rebound, offense etc
Its hard to get excited about our program with this coach and his philosophy!!

So, are we sure Day Day qualifies for an extra year? Is Hickman still seeking a redshirt? Who will be first out the door?

These are great questions for the Portal thread. Let's keep this thread focused on the 25/26 roster additions/deletions. This old guy gets cornfused easily

Day Day said he got the extra year. What does Hickman has to lose by not trying.
