For what it’s worth, things aren’t looking much better over at The Pit. Still need a couple of bigs to replace Zona and Booth.
the tune I keep hearing.
Hey, that's why we're here...plus gives us something to do other than hurry up and wait, which is the pits.
couple of them have already visited the Irish: King and Karlen.
Another excellent get would be Gardiner, but I fear she may be headed to Utah (but have no info to support that, just a bad feeling in my gut).
Dillon seems very high on Mary Ashley Stevenson, who I know little about. But if she has his approval, she appears to be a worthy target.
As for those who have left the portal:
We were never connected to Beers.
Iriafen was a dream that wasn't realized. The rumors suggested that U$C was offering her lucrative NIL incentives, but I have no idea of how truthful that is.
Weimar signed with NC State. Not sure what happened with her purported visit. Did it happen earlier? Was it cancelled after she decided to join the Wolfpack? Were we holding out for more enticing targets? Don't know. Niele plays her cards very close to the vest.
There are still players who could meet the Irish's needs.
We'll see if Niele and co. are working on any of them ...or others.
