Do they play the same position?  I thought Ledlum was a shooting guard!

Ledlum is a 3/4

Yes.  Probably better suited for the 4 but IU recruited him as the 3.  

It's getting pretty ridiculous right now at St. John's....they already had 14 'scholarship' players, so one is officially going to be a walk on already unless someone transfers.  If Ledlum comes, that's two.  And there is a huge logjjam for playing time, not surprisingly:

• Dingle, Harvard transfer, G.  Averaged 23.4 ppg at Penn last year.
• Soriano.  entire career at St. John's.  Center.   15 pts/ 12 reb.
• Jenkins, Iona transfer, G. Averaged 15 1/2 pts and 5 assists there.
• Taylor Jr, Oregon St transfer,  SF.  Averaged 11.6 pts and 3.7 reb
• Slazinski, Iona transfer (previously at Louisville before that).  Injured last year.  Year before.  Stretch PF.  Averaged 11.3 pts and 5.7 reb at Iona last year before getting injured.
• Alleyne:  U Conn combo guard transfer.  Three point specialist, didn't shoot well there last year but is 37% for his career
• Wilcher, freshman combo guard.  ranked 46th by 247, decommitted from UNC
• Elikofor, PF/C.  Kansas transfer, played sparingly.
• Luis, U Mass transfer.  6'6 wing.  11.5 pts at UMass last season
• Davis, Iona transfer.  6'3" guard.   Averaged 6.5 points at Iona last year but was just a freshman.
• Brady Dunlap, F, 6'7" freshman.  Decommitted from Notre Dame
• Sean Conway, 6'5" wing.  VMI transfer.  12 points, 4.9 reb, three point specialist
• Drissa Traore:  6'8" PF/C.  Only he and Soriano were retained from the previous team.  Played very little as a freshman.
• Ayo, 6'7" F.  Iona transfer.  Played just 10 minutes per game and averaged 2.6 points, but was just a freshman.

So by my account:

Guards:  Dingle, Jenkins, Alleyne, Wilcher,  Davis

SF: Taylor Jr, ,Luis (SF/SG), Dunlap, Conway (SF/SG), Ayo (SF)

PF  Slazinski, Ejikfor (PF/C), Traore (PF/C)

C:  Soriano, 

Good depth but I sure as hell don't see how that is going to be a healthy locker room.  Only two retained players and tons of guys playing their last year of college ball without enough court time to go around.  If they add Ledlum, I have to think that at least one moves on.

That had been the rumor as soon as he hit the portal.  Probably a decent fit.

Why not wait until the day after the championship game

Yeah.....doing so after the elite eight will put the final four teams at a week's disadvantage.  Additionally, if a player on a final four team wanted to transfer, he probably wouldn't want to enter the portal before the final four occurred.

On the Field of 68 a couple weeks ago this was the topic of discussion. One coach said that the day before the championship game the UCONN coaching staff was on zoom with players from the portal.

They may have been on a zoom with players from other teams (which I believe is against NCAA by-laws), but the portal does not open until the day after the championship game.

Don't think that is accurate

March 13 signaled the official opening of the portal, which means coaches across the country are juggling how to manage their respective rosters heading into next year, while many are also playing in postseason tournaments.

I believe you are correct and I was incorrect.  I thought it had said the day after the championship but it actually says day after the championship selection.

I think it shouldn't start until after the championship game.

Memphis likely losing transfer Teafale Lenard, Jr., due to academics.

Not a transfer but a decommitt -- Marcus Adams, Kansas decommitt, to  Gonzaga.

It is actually technically a transfer because he was enrolled at KU

I would have lost a bet on Lenard playing for them as I assumed it would be virtually impossible for a basketball player to be turned away by Memphis due to academics. 
 

Memphis basketball and academics in the same sentence? Hard to believe.
