At least he didnt stay in conference.
I belive most of these were not "portal" but rather those who signed contracts to turn pro. I'm only seeing 3 Penn State players in the portal, and all of them have "landed", including a D man to PC.

The schedule is normally released around the beginning/middle of July. All I know for NC games are Qunnipiac at Maine for 2 games (according to the Qunnipiac page).

It will be interesting to see what kind of recruits Oconnor and Barr will sign after junior league playoffs are over.
Wonder if these 2 are on the radar. Bernier and Poirier played on the same team for 2 seasons in the Q.

He is not. The whole situation seems sus. Still not sold that he is transferring to be honest. I know absolutely nothing but I wonder if teams are hesitant to offer him due to his recent hip injury.
Or perhaps Barr has coaxed him back.
Maybe a bit of both?

Need his offense I know that
Yeah the Poirier thing is very interesting and a little strange. I think he is in the portal but either is in the midst of a bidding war for him, or some are being scared off due to the injury concerns. I don't think its out of the question that he ends up returning to Maine after all.
From McMahon's newsletter tonight:
4) Justin Poirier is on my portal tracker, but he hasn’t officially entered yet. I checked with sources on Friday and was told he plans to enter this week. He underwent surgery last week, which may have delayed the process. Poirier is the best player currently available on my board.

Surgery doesn't delay the process. 50/50 he enters the portal but if he does his injury isn't a normal one.
Annoying that he jumped the gun on this one
You’re saying that if he’s healthy, the story goes he likes and wants to play at Maine?
Maybe the Canes like Maine and that’s what matters the most, re: Ekberg or JP staying/going?

I was actually looking at him over lunch! He has the size and the right handed shot I've been looking for, but finished with the second worst +/- on ASU last season.6’4 204 lb forward from ASU is transferring to Maine.

Not sure his +/- does justice to how solid he is defensively under the hood though, that's more influenced by him playing all situations on pretty bad team.
Barr really just saying "size matters" this offseason huh?
