As of right now, we have four portal spots + Juke to replace one contributor. I posted a
complete breakdown of Forbes's portal transfers here, but here's a list, arranged roughly in order by value:
Alondes
Appleby
Sallis
LaRavia
Carr
Monsanto
Reid
Boopie
Walton
Williamson
Sy
Bradford
Canka
Ituka
Of those 14, only 3 (21.4%) were not or have not yet been contributors. Even among those 3, you can asterisk Jao based on his injuries, and Canka was a very late, last-resort option after Klintmann's departure. Four of those players (28.6%) made an All-ACC team. Two of them (14.3%) were named ACCPOY by one outlet or another. I would estimate 8-9 of them (57-64%) would be in contention to start on next year's team.
Maybe having more players returning, and therefore a less-obvious path to playing time, will hurt us. Maybe having NIL in place will help us. I'm not sure, but I dont think it's unreasonable for us to expect to get one really good player, one starting caliber player, one contributor, and one bust out of our four portal spots. Add Juke to that, and I think we're in a great spot for next year. Obviously, if Sallis leaves, that makes the math harder, but still manageable. If Reid, Carr, Cam, or PFred enter the portal, then it's time to panic. On the other hand, if we keep those guys and can finally add both a nothingburger and guy whose thing isn't scoring in the same year, then the ceiling is the roof.
