This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I thought your original point was clear by mwayne

I don't think you or anyone else suggested not to pursue top players. Especially now, when they have a chance to make a very deep run. I personally would like to see ND get at least one top frontcourt player that can ease Koval's transition to CBB. Additionally, they need more bodies here for obvious reasons - foul trouble, injuries, etc.

Transfer portal business is much like speed dating - if one side is not feeling the connection or prefers to be elsewhere, you have to move on to the next transfer target, promptly. If the next target is not as well-known but the coaches believe can provide similar results, then so be it.

Hopefully, the coaching staff has a well-organized plan and can execute it.
