The transfer portal was made for the man. He's finally embraced it. It might just extend his mediocrity
This quote below got me thinking, "what is it about Bruce that seems to pull something out of 1st year inherited guys yet struggles to build year over year with his guys?"
I think his quirky ways are so counter-coaching that it pushes players who are new to him. If he's stays heavily slanted toward transfer talent and then giving them the year one Bruce-boost he probably sticks around for a few more. We'll see
