Keegan Knickoson of BCJ reports that, in DePaul's photos of the team in Vegas, none of the four players in the portal are pictured.

Dan Hoard tweeted a pic from a practice at a local HS gym and it seems everyone is there. Two guys you can't see their faces and may be Rayvon and Halvine (or maybe CJ Anthony). No Connor Hickman or CJ Fredrick pictured but they're hurt.

For those who asked: "Teams such as Ohio State, Iowa and Indiana have opted out of the tournament already after not making the Big Dance."
From a week ago but the best summary I have seen. Cincinnati to play DePaul in first round of College Basketball Crown tournament | Sports | newsrecord.org

DePaul currently has 4 players in the transfer portal:

6'2 guard Jacob Meyers (from Cov Cath) - 8.2 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 19.4 mpg

6'8 forward JJ Traynor (ex-Louisville) - 5.6 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 17.5 mpg

6'0 guard Conor Enright - 7.5 ppg, 6.2 apg, 3.3 rpg, 30 mpg (out since early February with an injury)

6'2 guard David Thomas - 3.7 ppg, 1.5 apg, 1.3 ppg, 14.6 mpg

so many had fears how the portal would effect the Cats in this game. I said other teams will be facing the same problems. If the DePaul players don't want the crown $$$, then their subs will be limited. Should be interesting to see how will this all unfold.
