A. J. Storr transferring to Wisconsin.

Former Washington State C Jack Wilson is transferring to Minnesota.

Jack Wilson will be in his 5th year of D1 ball and has scored a career total of 84 points on 36% fg shooting. So not quite Tim Priller.

2024 four-star shooting guard Nick Janowski has committed to Nebraska.  #102 in On3 rankings.

For real -- Wilson likely will be suiting up in football and basketball.   Played 25 games for the football team in 2021 and 2022 on their special teams (field goal and PAT).  Might be a way for them to steal and extra football scholarship without using one.  It's not like the basketball team was going to use all 13.

Honestly, Hoiberg has been doing well this offseason.  Pulled in a couple of decent transfers yesterday in Rienk Mast and Brice Williams.  Williams was a player IU had contacted (don't know how serious they were about getting him, but he's a big guard who can hit the three).

That is not how it works. If a player plays football they will counted as a football scholarship or must have no athletic scholarship. 

Rules for multi-sport athletes[edit]

The NCAA also has rules specifying the sport in which multi-sport athletes are to be counted, with the basic rules being:^[69]

• Anyone who participates in football is counted in that sport, even if he does not receive financial aid from the football program. An exception exists for players at non-scholarship FCS programs who receive aid in another sport.^[70]
• Participants in basketball are counted in that sport, unless they also play football.
• Participants in men's ice hockey are counted in that sport, unless they also play football or basketball.
• Participants in both men's swimming and diving and men's water polo are counted in swimming and diving, unless they count in football or basketball.
• Participants in women's (indoor) volleyball are counted in that sport unless they also play basketball.
• All other multi-sport athletes are counted in whichever sport the school chooses.

Interesting.  I don’t see Wilson getting any kind of real time on the basketball court.  Wouldn’t be surprised if they wait the fall until a football scholly is open and have him play football.  He doesn’t add anything to the bball team

Heard this was coming from some UM folks. No idea what’s up but two threads I imagine may be intertwined here: 1. Ongoing rumors about Howard taking an NBA job as soon as next summer and 2. UConn’s close to home….

According to Twitter, take it for what its worth, they are saying this is related to admissions.

Looked it up -- he was recruited by assistant coach Karl Hobbs at Rutgers.  Hobbs left Rutgers this offseason to take an assistant job at Georgia Tech.

Was also a Hobbs recruit. Tough couple of days for Pikiell.

Seen some hints that Ace Bailey could be a decommitment candidate.  Man, I'd love to see that.  Kid is really good.  Possibly top in the class good and Harper really likes him.

Yup. Ace Bailey 'liked' Warren's Rutger de-commitment tweet. 

The odds of Ace Bailey ever suiting up for Rugers are slimmmmmm.

That's wild.  Rutgers having an awful few weeks here.   And I'm here for it.  Although admittedly, I kinda like Pikiell.

But what we need here is for him to hang on to that commitment for maybe 11 months and then open it up for a couple of weeks.
