Well the best commit we have is a local kid who we’ve been recruiting for like 6 years so smart money’s on #1.

I just don’t think it matters.  It’s not easy to gauge who will be great at their new school and who won’t.  If it was Domask wouldn’t have been in the 100s.

Underwood has pretty consistently gotten impactful transfers regardless of their portal rankings.  He got Domask last year after a disappointing year before.  He was recruiting well from HS before the portal opened and we were terrible then.

Fair enough....I think the #1 ranking depends on how all shakes out obviously, but most would agree our last class was definately #1 for us....we will see, valid points across the board. Thanks

This barely feels like college basketball anymore.

It's not. These are quasi pro franchises with no caps, and even less structure and rules than the NBA which makes it more chaotic.
Then add onto the fact that these are 18-23 year old kids and not experienced professionals and it is crazy.

The paradox of clinging to faint notions of amateurism preventing them somewhat from actually regulating the thing as well as pro sports.

I’m glad that the players are now seeing the fruit of their labor, but IMO the pendulum has swung too far. There should be a transfer rule. One “free” transfer with any additional transfers requiring a redshirt seems more than fair to me.

So everyone else can transfer schools but athletes because you liked it the old way?

And Carey Booth is official it looks like. Now have seven rotation guys by my count: Boswell, DGL, White, Rodgers, Goode, Booth, Morez. Need a guard who wants to shoot/score.

But cannot play. Makes a lot of sense.

This WAS the rule until a court said it violated antitrust laws and issued an injunction.

Carey Booth in the fold. Sad to see Hansberry go but this is the portal life we live in now.

They get one “freebie” in my proposal.

I’ll hand it to Underwood, unlike some coaches, he seems to be thriving in the portal era.

Yeah, I think by the rules-as-written you still have to sit out for your second transfer, but a court said that's illegal.
