As @DT_PITT said in a recent reply to @gary2, the list of players in the portal looks formidable, but given the lack of Pitt's BB success over the past several years, it seems unlikely that Pitt will get any of the top transfers to come here; so don't get too excited ... (sorry for paraphrasing
And it got me thinking: what if the portal players all go elsewhere, and Pitt's left "holding the bag"? Do we even have enough returning bodies to field a team? How many walk-ons would we need to fill a roster?
I will already predict that @PittPoker will respond to this post with another of his "Moe and Phil are best friends, yadda, yadda, yadda". But as much as I'd like to be optimistic for the Pitt Men's BB program, how close to being "The Titanic" are we?
BTW, if today's games are as exciting as last night's, this will continue being a fun tournament to watch. As Mark Packer said on ACCN this morning, if you didn't enjoy the first round of the Sweet Sixteen you need to be watching something else ...
