On3 reports the NCAA has eliminated the spring transfer portal for football. There will be a single transfer portal period; however, when and how long has not yet been determined. If a head coach is fired, the 30-day portal window will still open for players

Bits and pieces been getting posted in different threads so we'll try to start consolidating as much as possible.

Trying something new. Instead of posting the rankings in the individual recruit year threads, I'm posting all of them in one spot. If nothing else, as the ranking sources update, I hope it will be easier to follow the changes in an individual recruit's rank. And a couple of program notes. It's pretty obvious that a number of kids with '22 offers are no longer on the radar and not being pursued but until they're officially off the board I'll track their ranking. The category I captioned Players of Interest are names that have very recently been mentioned and/or are players we know the staff watched at the June events and it certainly doesn't imply those are the only prospects we're following. 2022 OFFERS Avg. 247 Top 150 - 06.30.21 ESPN Top 100 @ 06.30.21 Rivals Top 150 - 06.16.21 Zion Cruz 23 18 31 19 Ernest Udeh 63 22 53 115 Jalen Washington 24 25 21 26 Jalen Hood-Schifino 31 27 34 32 Vincent Iwuchukwu 28 32 22 29 Julian Phillips 29 36 30 21 Kyle Filipowski 36 40 20 48 Tyrell Ward 53 52 62 45 A.

Indiana, what are your thoughts on them? ”I really like them. Definitely a good fit for sure. Just the place itself is amazing. But the main thing is the way they get up and down [the court] and let it fly. I see them as a great option.” https://stockrisers.com/s/572/top-50-junior-chase-branham-talks-his-busy-recruitment-new-interest

4-star SF Addy is listed as 6'1" by 247. She attends Red Bank Catholic HS in Red Bank, NJ and plays AAU for Philly Rize on the EYBL circuit and is an AAU teammate of '26 Atlee Vanesko who also holds an IU offer. She's #53 on ESPN's HoopGurlz ranking. Addy has kept her recruitment unbelievably quiet to the point that 247 doesn't list her with having a single offer. She explained her rationale in the first link below which in a nutshell: Nyemchek believes that not announcing her offers publicly will allow her to know which schools are genuinely interested in her, giving her a clearer picture of her recruitment. She's even instructed her coaches and trainers not to post her offers. https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/2026-forward-addison-nyemchek-gives-a-glimpse-into-her-private-recruiting-process-233459281/ @ANyemchek 247 MaxPreps Hudl https://shoresportsinsider.com/ssi-2024-2025-girls-basketball-co-players-of-the-year-and-all-shore-teams/ Addison "Addy" Nyemchek '26 - Philly Rise Date Pts FGM FGA 3PM 3PA FTM FTA Reb Ast TO Blk Stl 4/25 W 2 1 4 0 2 0 0 3 0 1 2 2 4/25 L 6 3 5 0 1 0 0 2 2 1 0 4 4/26 W 7 3 8 1 2 0 0 5 0 0 1 0 4/26 W 4 1 8 0 3 2 2 7 0 0 3 3 4/27 L 6 3 9 0 2 0 0 5 3 0 1 3 5/16 L 11 4 13 1 4 2 2 4 1 2 1 4 5/16 L 7 3 9 0 2 1 2 4 1 3 0 0 5/17 W 4 2 7 0 3 0 0 6 2 3 0 2 5/17 W 5 2 4 0 1 1 2 5 1 0 0 2 5/18 W 16 6 10 2 2 2 2 4 2 1 0 2 Count/Avg 10 6.8 36% 18% 80% 4.5 1.2 1.1 0.8 2.2
