Bates is '21 and we already got him (unless you're talking Emoni and if that's the case I don't see how we flip him from MSU AND convince him not to go pro)

For some reason I get a Dwyane Wade vibe watching his highlight vids.

That's incredible. Definitely "recruiting" the transfer portal is going to be more and more of a focus going forward...

Hope Yasir locks up Smith, Wilson, and/or Bates before this thread gets locked.

Now let's see if the smoke around Yasir bring some player(s) with him leads to fire or fizzle.

Have one on the other side. RIP Hoosier and Pacer champion and legend.

Thanks for this. I live in Westfield a mile or 2 away. Went to EYBL twice but not been to UAA.

Smith for one year. I think it buys Rosemond a few. Cunningham's brother got 2 and it doesn't appear he brought much other than Cade to the team. Rosemond seems more legit as a coach

If he brings Jabari with him hell be worth it for that alone for at least a few years

Where did you see this?

That would be ideal. This would be amazing if he brought in Jabari Smith. Wow! https://247sports.com/Player/Jabari-Smith-46058607/ Don't know the answer about commits/letter of intent, and I didn't have time to read the whole thing (yet), but it sounds like the transfer portal was designed to remove the school release (that you reference). It refers to that in the past tense... Previously in Division I, when student-athletes wanted to transfer, they had to ask their coach for permission to contact other schools. If the coach denied the request, student-athletes could make their case to the athletics director. If permission was still denied, student-athletes could make the request to a designated campus administrator, such as a dean of students. If the request still wasn’t approved, the final step would be to appeal to a committee that consists of professionals on campus and other students. Those who didn’t receive permission still could transfer but couldn’t be offered athletics aid at the new school. https://www.ncaa.org/static/champion/what-the-ncaa-transfer-portal-is/

3 of the top 10 2021 recruits are still available...

Impressive indeed. I also liked this part... QUESTION: Woodson played on the 1976 Indiana high all-stars and wasn’t named Mr. Basketball. A player who went to your school, North Carolina, Dave Colescott, was. BROWN: “Yeah, I remember. And Mike is still pissed off about it.”

Reading this made me think Scott Drew will be the next UK coach.

With 4 spots... Keion + X. Johnson & Race and Armaan > Keion + X. Johnson > Race and Armaan

Agreed 100%. I'm guessing it was discussed that if things work out, "Dane, you could be on-track to be the next HC". I'm skeptical of any promises or contracts, and that would be a mistake IMO.

Will be interesting to see who they get to replace him. It always should be easier to replace a retiring coach than a fired one.

Hoosier Daddy? We got Wood, Son.

Agreed. He doesnt need Matta on the bench. He can coach for himself. It's a better setup for them this way

Musselman hasn't won in the NBA and is only 7 years younger. Kids seem to want to play for him

Matta is his Martelli

Didn't Self leave a good situation for Kansas?

Is there room for one more Masshole? Asking for a friend.
