Wouldn't worry about it.  Everything I've seen says he's not leaving the east coast and his destination is relatively pre-determined as long as the check doesn't bounce.

Also, he's only got a year left doesn't he so there's no overlap with Harper's recruitment?

I was wondering, this morning, if he likes his teammates and coaches so very much at Rutger, then could he really want to stay if they cough up $15k?  Plus, thought I read that he had 2 years eligibility remaining.  But none of this is confirmed.  

Well, wish him luck except against IU.

Their fans are real butthurt about it on Twitter, I got into a back-and-forth with a couple of them. Needless to say I have an extra rooting interest against Rutger from here on out.

There isn't a fanbase more delusional than that of team who has a good season or two, when they normally suck. Rutgers, Northwestern, Indiana football...

Even when that preparatory school for Subaru line workers up in W. Laffy win a few games, they still suck. POTFB.

Don't believe everything you read. Conventional wisdom is often wrong (e.g., Mackenzie Mgbako)

Didn't say I necessarily believed it, only that's what I've seen in print and on Twitter.

Agreed. Midwest money spends just as well as east coast money

Me too, but an offer might have got him in the portal, but then a higher offer might tempt him elsewhere. Who knows.

I don’t think we add Cam but I do think we fill the 13th spot. Woody is trying his damnedest to win.

The Harper family has some strong feelings for Rutgers though and Cams leaving there seems to be ruffling feathers.

It is because of the way it was done. Georgetown is the problem in their eyes. Nobody else.

I don't know why  he would go to Georgetown. Even with a new coach, they won't be any good next year. Why not go to a school where the team will win and the NIL money is good.

Lance Ware (Kentucky) to Villanova.

Aziz Bandaoga (Utah Valley) to Cincinnati.  Good defender and rebounder.  Averaged 11.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks at Utah Valley last season.

Cincy has done well I feel in the portal. Being able to recruit to play in the Big 12 possibly helping.

Trilly Donovan seems to be implying that Ed Cooley has been involved with multiple players leaving other teams and entering the portal.  One player of note that entered the portal very shortly after the season ended and very quickly committed to Georgetown was Illinois' Jayden Epps.

Georgetown is the school that was doing the tampering behind the scenes $$$$ and he’s an East Coast kid. There are schools that might beat out Georgetown though because he’s listening to all his options now that he’s in the portal.

He’s definitely been doing some tampering

That doesn’t surprise me, he seems sort of shady anyway

Transfer in:

C.J. Frederick (Kentucky) 22 mpg, 6.1 ppg, 1.5 ast, 0.8 reb

Simas Lukosius (Butler) 33,3 mpg, 11.6 ppg, 4.0 reb, 2.9 ast

Jamille Reynolds (Temple) 20 mpg, 10.1 ppg, 5.4 reb, 0.7 ast

Azaz Badaogo (Utah Valley)  29.4 mpg, 11.5 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 2.9 bpg

Transer out:

Jeremiah Davenport (went to Arkansas)  25.6 mpg, 9.1 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 1.5 apg

Mika Adams-Woods (went to St. Bonaventure)  29.9 mpg, 9.1 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 3.2 apg

Jarrett Hensley (went to Southern Illinois) 7.7 mpg, 2.0 ppg, 0.9 ppg, 0.6 apg

--------------------

It's interesting in that Cincy seems to be going the opposite that other teams are going -- Bearcats are getting bigger and slower.  Frederick and Lukosius are decent sized 2/3 players who can shoot but won't win any foot races;  Reynolds and Badaogo are both true big posts (6'10", 285 and 7'0", 225) who can't be on the court at the same time.

Up transfer Tomiwa Sulaiman (from division 2 Indiana University Pennsylvania) committed to Bryant very late in March.  Has reopened his commitment now.

6'6" combo forward from England.  Played for a very good D2 program at IU Pennsylvania which went 32-2.  Sulaiman averaged 12.6 points and 9.6 reb.  Shot 58% from the field and was 14 of 45 (31%) from three.

Obviously not a power 5 type of player, but should find a low/mid major to latch on to.  Not sure why he decommitted from Bryant.

Nuggets from Trilly Donovan tonight:

Georgetown currently leads for Cam Spencer but the 'blue bloods are coming in hot'.  Did not elaborate to say who that included.  He did mention U Conn in another tweet but said they would have to 'get in line'.

Tyrin Lawrence was trending toward coming back to Vanderbilt.  No commitment yet but Vandy trying to get it done before he visits Texas Tech.  

Oliver Nkamhoua (Tennessee big man, 8 ppg and 7 rpg) had been trending toward turning pro (whether it be NBA, G league or overseas) but if he did come back the thought was Michigan would be most likely to get him as a grad transfer.  Now he has schedule a visit to West Virginia, whom MIchigan can not match in terms of NIL.
