In the old world of college basketball, the best coaches were masters at the Xs and Os and recruited very well from high schools. In this new world, coaches must dominate the portal and then, just as importantly, shape the transfers into a cohesive unit. Calhoun did a wonderful job with both tasks last season, and we all hope that he can do it again. But there are no guarantees. Just look at what happened to John Barnes. The first year he performed both tasks very well and was rewarded with a share of the regular season title. He hit the portal again for a second year only to see his team collapse down the stretch. He is now staring at the second division. The only thing you can be sure of in this new world is uncertainty and chaos.
