Recruiting Transfers - April

[ClifSpliffy]

I think UConn makes a lot of inquiries just to do their homework but doesn't have sincere interest in all these transfers they reach out to.

i would guess coach is legit on this one. at the least, mr collins is 10th alltime in aac scoring. can't fake that.

10th in AAC scoring means about as much as my grandmother coming 4th in the local pie baking contest.

NCAA is coming down hard on the important issues

So... What, the transfer portal is supposed to be hidden from the general public but everything we hear about is being leaked by people who aren't supposed to have access? Why wouldn't it be public information?

Gives them a distraction from coming down on Kansas and LSU

There was a slight connection here with Bouknight/Springs but I don’t think him coming to UConn was ever a possibility on either side (as far as i know)

Not sure if we were ever connected to Kyler Edwards of Texas Tech but seems like we should be interested now. He has decided to stay in the portal rather than return to Tech.

Staying in the state of Texas

[Hey Adrien!]

He was the transfer I wanted. Bummer.

Fabian White returning to Houston. I imagine Josh will play behind him.

Maybe. White played only 15.6 mpg last year so it's not like a clear cut favorite.

He was also coming off a torn ACL and wasn’t even supposed to be back for the season originally IIRC

 

[Drew]

We had reached out in March but I don’t think we’re recruiting him anymore

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Quinnipiac > BC > UMass

The one stipulation is Kelly has to take summer courses at Woodstock Academy prior to enrollment at UMass.

How’d his mom make out?

“All Division I student-athletes will have a one-time opportunity to transfer and compete immediately beginning in the 2021-22 academic year, if legislation adopted by the Division I Council is ratified by the Division I Board of Directors. The board meets April 28,” the statement read. “The Council met via videoconference today and Wednesday. The Council expanded the one-time transfer exception to all sports, which means student-athletes who play baseball, football, men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s ice hockey have the same chance as all other student-athletes to transfer and play right away. If ratified by the board, the change is effective for student-athletes who have not transferred before and want to compete at a new school as early as this fall.

Haha, but in all seriousness, despite Tre Mitchell transferring out, UMass has rebounded nicely (pun intended) with their own transfer haul.

To replace Tre Mitchell, the combination of Penn State's Trent Buttrick's rebounding and stretch ability with Montana's Michael Steadman post play and rebounding provide a nice diverse 1-2 punch.

Carl Pierre transferred to Rice (who will be an underrated C-USA team) but he's replaced with Albany's CJ Kelly and BC's Rich Kelly, two good perimeter shooters (41.5 3p% and 37.2 3p%, respectively) who are definitely not related.

A nice quartet to mix in with their incumbent players. I honestly think UMass will be better this upcoming year than this past year.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Cool. At least I’ll get to watch him twice a year.

Some people in the portal...

Woaaaahhh. I didn’t see that coming. I thought they would just grant everyone a hear starting now.

It's possible they still are/will, but that's definitely not what that says. But it's possible they meant to say "not yet transferred and competed immediately" or some similar wording.

It's still just an interpretation so could be wrong but Borzello has tweeted a bunch about it and has said it's anyone who's transferred

I wonder if it will be like last season where pretty much everyone got a waiver or if they are gonna be more strict with it again. Thinking of players like Mac McClung that might have to sit a year. Dang

 

[rollskies]

Should be more playing time for Javonte Brown. I believe this is their 6th transfer because Emanuel Miller also just announced his transfer.

This kid is from JB’s high school. Wasn’t that a big part of the reason of why he wanted to go to TAMU? I’m sure he will stick around, but there’s definitely a lot of movement going on down there.
