I would tend to take our lack of an additional guard as a sign that the staff thinks that between Gunn, Newton, and Cupps we have some real options.

I do not think we are putting together a roster with any concern about hurting the feelings of players who are not up to the task. 

I don't disagree, but if we have a scholarship available and a one-year player could help us, I guess I'm not sure of the downside. If one or two of those guys go down, it would be some nice insurance.

Agree. I know we heard this a lot with the previous coaching staff, but I trust Woodson. Hope I'm wrong on CJ and he is able to play a significant role off the bench. If he can average 5-6 points a game and shoot in the high 30's on threes, that will be big.

Eric (one of the Hysterics) has said for quite some time that he would not expect much out of Jakai this year. Hope that's not the case. Some people believe his injury is one of those where it takes him awhile to return to his normal self.

So if Jakai is going to be limited due to his knee and with both X and Trey having a history of injuries we need an additional backcourt option. Does anyone know if we have reached out to Ithiel Horton from UCF who just entered the portal as a grad transfer.

Seems like x could reach out to him, he’s been involved in identifying players for the staff

Sounds promising 

[mike vannice]

Yes, but no mention of whether the staff have contacted Mr. Horton. He does definitely fit what this team needs. Let's hope he visits.

It could be they are waiting until UCF has officially placed him in the portal.   In the article it stated they have until Wednesday, I would assume EOD.  They don’t want to get accused of poaching, lol

Don't think it was mentioned here, but Jordan Brown (Louisiana) committed to Memphis.  Was probably the best player left in the portal:  6'11" center, averaged 19.3 points and 8.6 rebounds.  This will be his fifth team -- as a freshman was at Nevada, averaged only three points.  Believe he went JUCO the next year, then transferred to Arizona and was a part time starter, averaging 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds.  Has spent the last two years at Louisiana.

NCAA Division I Legislative Committee proposal.

The council introduced a proposal to reduce notification-of-transfer windows to 30 days, down from 60. Data from the past year indicate that most student-athletes enter the Transfer Portal at the beginning of the transfer window.

Now that the proposal has been formally introduced, respective oversight committees and the Division I Student Athlete Advisory Committee will gather additional feedback and offer potential amendments to the proposal over the summer. A final vote on the proposal will be considered by the council during its October meeting.

They need to propose how many times a student-athlete can transfer.  A limit needs to be set.  Also, they need to set rules and limits on NIL

The thing with NIL, I don't think you can regulate it.  I mean you can try, but the rule breakers will work to get the upper hand no matter what rules you try to impose.  The times and rules a student can transfer though, I agree completely.

They already have.  Players are allowed one waiver-free non-grad transfer.  Grad transfers don't apply to this rule.  If a player wishes to transfer more than once, then need to receive a waiver from the NCAA to do so.  It does seem that at least right now the NCAA is allowing waivers when a player transferring after a coaching change.

I always figured after the Supreme Court got involved in NIL a few years ago, it will be impossible to ever get it reeled in without insane amounts of lawsuits, appeals, etc.

Nendah Tarke, 6'4" guard from Coppin State, initially commiitted to Nicholl's State.  He has now decommitted and is back in the portal.  Rutgers had shown interest before and with the exit of Spencer and Mulcahy would think  they might again.

Last season at Coppin State he averaged 12.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.  Shot 43/33/54 and has shot 43/31/59 over three years at Coppin, averaging 12.2 points.  Is said to be a + defender, so sounds like a Rutgers type of player in that he's a good defender but a so-so offensive option.

[mike vannice]

is Ithiel Horton officially in the portal now?

And yet players have transferred 5 times and played for 5 different schools.  That’s not controlled
