Basketball Portal Question?

[BigD]

The portal just closed and so I am wondering if deals can still be made after the portal closes. In other words, is the portal opening and closing times just the time period that players have to be entered into the portal? Can Ben be out there still trying to pick up other players?

The reason I asked is because I just saw this article posted today and the time it was posted says "3 Hours Ago' next to the article author's name.

Well, I guess I just don't think of the SEC as a basketball conference. I like our chances against those school pursuing him.

With the portal closed I am wondering are the players allowed thirty days to finish negotiations after the portal closes.

I think Ben still has up to five more players he could add if he wants to. I read somewhere that the number of scholarship players has been raised to 15. I think we are at ten right now. How many of Fran's players that went into the portal have not signed with anyone yet?

Yesterday at 5:10 a.m. ran into UNI Coach Jacobson and coaches saying goodbye to a portal recruit at the Waterloo airport. After the coaches left we all had a 1.5 hour delay due to storms, so I had a chance to visit with the young man, and later his father. The player said most schools want to hear a final decision within a week of visiting. Super nice, mature young man.
