I think damn near every team has had some misses in the portal it feels like. The list of offers is ridiculous I read Arkansas has offered atleast 84 players in the portal so far [Reply]
D'Moi Hodge is declaring for the NBA draft. That's sucks. Hopefully he gets info that says he's not gonna get drafted high, so that he comes back. [Reply]

I don't believe he has any eligibility left. This past year was his COVID year. [Reply]

Oh, thats what I was thinking, but this is his Twitter post.
I would like to thank my family for their continued love and support of my goals and dreams. To Coach Gates and the entire Mizzou organization, what a season! I also want to thank my brothers for pushing me.
With that being said I’m officially declaring for the 2023 NBA Draft. [Reply]
Going to be an interesting next couple of days to see what happens with Cleveland (or whenever his decision will be) and what we find out on what direction Kobe Brown is leaning, draft vs. staying at Mizzou for one more year. [Reply]
Well looks like Brown did declare for the draft, so the question is whether he stays in or not. Saw some mention that so far he's not projected even as a 1st round pick, which would make me think he might ultimately come back to Columbia for one more year. Maybe some NIL money can be put together to help sway his decision? [Reply]

He said he was declaring, but keeping his final year of eligibility open. Pretty much what we all expected. I haven't seen him be considered a 1st round talent, which is crazy. I'm hoping he hears that he's a 2nd round guy, comes back, wins CPOTY, and leads Mizzou to a Final Four. [Reply]
