NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

With how the Portal works and how fast everything changes I don't even know what to guess. Two days ago people were saying no reason to reach out, then yesterday mutual interest. I'm not sure we have even spoken to him. I will say one thing that could help or be in our favor is Scott May is one of Woody's closest friends, and Scott's son Sean is an assistant with UNC. So maybe he's putting in a good word for us. 

It’s amazing just how much college basketball has changed in the last couple of years. Allowing kids to transfer immediately without restrictions has essentially created a free agent market. 
Good to hear we have good connections on this one. I’ve got to believe reputation (development of guys to the next level) and connections are going to be vital as the landscape around CBB continues to evolve.

What about Ware? I saw people saying he wanted to talk to us, but haven’t seen where that came from.

I think there is a mutual interest to talk but won't happen till next weekend now.

If you're referring to the dead period here, it doesn't mean they can't communicate. The only thing the dead period does is keep coaches from seeing recruits in-person. Calling, texting, emailing, snail mailing, carrier pigeoning, etc. is all fair game.

If you don't mean for dead period reasons, then disregard!

I think they, the NCAA, are going to slam down on it.  No other league has this crazy free for all.  And while it lets teams literally rebuild overnight, it's also like Rec league where you never know who you got.

If XJ doesn't get his waiver, it's one more transfer or recruit needed, correct?

No that's what I meant. See I'm still learning things. Thank you. For some reason, I thought no contact at all.

I seem to remember Baumgart being one who doesn't really know what he's talking about but maybe I'm misremembering? What's his track record?

The only thing I'm not sure on with the dead period is a Zoom "visit". Coaches love those things, but I don't know if that's allowed during a dead period. I want to say it is allowed.

Been a lurker forever and this got me to jump in. 

I see a ton of comments (not directed at you Golfman25) about this being crazy, ruin things, NCAA will stop it etc. 

While they might make changes they can’t stop this without entertaining the whole employee/student issue. Regardless of that, I don’t think many BB and Football fans understand this is the norm in the majority of college sports. You have always been able to transfer without penalty in sports like soccer for example. 
 

You may say this is different. Too much money at stake. Ok… but then you are back to the whole employee/student thing. 
 

With minor changes, this is here to stay. 

Welcome to posting here --

Yes it's here to stay, but it needs regulation. The wild west approach is just bad for the sport and college generally.

Love the first post with serious substance.

Welcome to the board Ngw - don't be a posting stranger.

No idea on his source piece. But I’ll give him this: he highlights a lot of lower profile kids and when I’ve been able to check some of them out, have largely agreed with his evals. So on that side of things, he either knows what he’s seeing or he knows who to ask.

Appreciate the post. If you keep posting you will get that awful Purdue jockstrap off your name, unless you like that kind of thing.

I think he worked for them for a bit. Maybe some animosity there?
