Is it the day after the Championship game and then open for two weeks. I know its much shorter time this season. Is that the correct time frame?

Yeah, 15 days starting the day after the championship game. Much better situation than the last couple of years.

And just a reminder to people, the transfer portal "window" is just to enter your name. Players don't have to commit anywhere during the window.

Is there a list or what Bucky and the staff value for players?

Priority order
[ol]

FT% (80% is the best shooting predictor)

3PA per game (volume matters more than percentage)

Size (6'7"+ preferred)

Minutes played (28+)

Team pace (transition comfort)

These are some I came up with but wonder if there is something else that we'd look for in a player. The size i did but could change it to 6'3" or taller.

though if it was like this last year we wouldnt have even been able to field a team most likely. It would have been a intramural team.

No, this would have helped us tremendously last year, there was also another external factor at play last year

Last year the timelines was:

March 24 - Transfer portal opens
April 1 - Buzz is hired at Maryland
April 4 - Bucky is hried
April 7 - Championship game
April 7 - anticipated acceptance of the House settlement - This was important because everyone was anticipating that from this point onward there would be a sort of salary cap in place and so everyone was trying to get players signed before this deadline. This ended up not being the case, but nobody knew it at the time.

We'd have been on much more level footing if the portal didn't open until the 8th.

True
I'm excited about the end of this year but we've got to get bigger everywhere.
