Is there that much free cash on Federal Hill committed to PC?

On a more serious note, what would the attraction be otherwise? I don't know anything about this player but it's hard to figure why a five star big man would reclassify to go to PC with all the unknowns involved with a new coach and a roster of new players.

Maybe because they don't have a center? As for cash, wherever PC gets it, it's not Federal Hill. College Hill, East Providence.
 
A former 2017 All-American is back for another year of college basketball!



This will be O'Bannon's SEVENTH year of D1 basketball. The kid played only 18 games in his first three seasons at USC (finger injuries), but has turned into a solid 3-and-D forward for TCU.

For all the weirdness and sliminess in the portal, stuff like this is cool. Happy for O'Bannon.

Well, he’s on campus tomorrow for an official. The reclass was my speculation based upon some other articles written about other teams after him. To explain where we fit, Ryan Gomes is his coach at Overtime Elite and the guy getting all the talent there including Cyril, is Tim Fuller. He was an assistant on the Missouri team that English played on and there are rumors he could fill our last assistant position we still have open.
 
Does anyone know what is going on with Akok? I will root for that kid in whatever he does. I don’t think he has entered the portal and I’m pretty sure he can use another year if he wants.

I’m sure he’s staying. He would have transferred to PC last year but we were pretty set with Hopkins. He’s close to Cooley.

Xavier gets a big boost as Zach Freemantle announces his return to Xavier for fifth and final season. Big East gets stronger. No nights off in league play.

I really like Freemantle’s game under Miller. More under control, better decisions. Miller will need to load manage him though. Keep his minutes per game around 25. Foot problems are chronic injuries.
 
Another example how the portal is a living, breathing beast:



Dennis will be a grad transfer, finishing last season with 19.5p, 4.3r, 5.8a, 1.5s, 1.5 3p%, 36.6 3p%, 76.9 FT% for Toledo.

Sounds like there's already a heavy Illinois lean, but still, if there's mutual interest, I'd be pumped to add the 6'2 180 grad transfer.
 
Some local news on the portal.



Gaiter is a Meriden native and played HS ball at Sacred Heart in Waterbury.

South Alabama has been one of the more consistent Sun Belt teams since Richie Riley took over when he became one of the earliest pioneers of the portal before it was cool.

I have a former colleague who coaches @ Assumption, tough loss but they can spin this to help them with recruiting - I'd think?

Big East changes within conference continues: St. John’s Posh Alexander commits to Butler. Also, St. John’s Dylan Addae-Wusu transfers to Seton Hall.
 
I originally posted this in the wrong thread:

I've had the joy of watching Dingle play live last year when Penn visited Iona. Penn stunk that game, lost 78-50, but Dingle scored 16 points with 8-9 on the line (he was 0-7 from three), but I loved his tenacity and ability to break down the defense. He didn't look like a typical Ivy player.

Good size for a CG too at 6'3 195...and he does enough on offense to fit in either as a 1 or 2, depending on his teammates...love his versatility.

Last year, Dingle averaged 23.4p, 3.6r, 2.3a, 2.9 TO, 55.5 2p%, 2.8 3PM, 35.6 3p%, 6.0 FTA and 85.6 FT%.

A lot of his numbers are within national ranks:

Excellent player and great kid.

Sign me up. Would be an excellent fit irregardless whether Newton returns or not.

Yeah Dingle isn't your typical Ivy league player. I got to see him play a lot in the Big 5 and just in general being from Philly. He can fill it up, he can be a bit streaky though. I believe he had a streak of 20+ games of scoring 20 points last season, inspite of teams keying on him. He would be an excellent pick up for you guys, he is definitely a BE quality starter on a top half team.

I think you're straining the definition of "streaky" a little bit there.
 
Dingle is a volume 3-point shooter, but not necessarily a great one, Great finisher at the rim for his size. though. His ratio of 3/rim/mid-range and how often they are pull-ups vs. assisted is a bit similar to Souley Boum.

4.8 PRPG! coming from a good mid-major league projects him as a borderline all-conference Big East player in my crude model, expected impact around the level of this past year's Colby Jones (but with Souley Boum upside if his shooting improves).

Could Kentucky have two Jordan Dingles soon? The second leading scorer in college basketball last season and son of a former Calipari player is in the transfer portal.

I have not read the article yet, but I am assuming the last name Dingle means he is the son of Dana Dingle who used to play at UMass in the mid 90s for Calipari.

Edit: 3 minutes later; I was correct :)

As we saw with some of the guys this year, if you take a guy like newton who was a high volume very low efficiency guy and you put that player on a loaded team they can reduce their volume and up their efficiency in a big way. If we were to somehow get this kid, I bet he shoots in the upper 38%ish range on 3s when playing in a system with spacing where the other team isnt loading up on just him

I Guess If You Say So GIF
 
Should also mention his Dad Dana, aside from playing under Cal at UMass, is also the director of the New Heights (NY) Lightning AAU team. We are currently (and have previously recruited) a bunch of kids from there.

Singare is most notable recent recruit from them. Currently on Meleek Thomas and Jakhi Howard, maybe Badara Diakite.

But we've been in on and missed a bunch of them, too (Pettiford, Armstrong, Akil Watson, Big Cliff, etc.)

Not really relevant to the discourse so I apologize for nitpicking but Newton did not improve his efficiency in a big way. Probably decreased if anything. But I agree with the premise and assume that is a fairly regular situation.
