Transfer Portal

[RedStormNC]

I think the fact that out of all our kids leaving the two who have yet to find a home were considered our two home run transfers last year says it all about CMA's failure to succeed.

Fair, but if they were guaranteed to not need a waiver, they likely would have landed somewhere much sooner

 

[Moose]

Not a transfer per se

 

[stjohnnie75]

Not a transfer but I wonder is other possible decommit might be Ian Jackson:

 

[L J S A]

I see people on twitter claiming St. John's but where would we put him? I know he's top 50 and all that, but ejecting a kid in mid-June would be crazy.

He’s class of 2024. Also he’s #5 in the country, I’m sure NIL could facilitate a special walk-on situation

Wouldn’t he replace Dingle?

I'm talking about Wilcher, who as far as I know was set to enter college in August.

I've seen people claiming St. John's but we're full.

I think the comments are referring to Jackson

But from what I understood, Jackson will follow.

 

[JohnnyFan]

All speculation for now, but if Wilcher wants in, Rick will find room.

There actually was a direct mention of us and Wiltcher from this article today. Perhaps he’s attempting to get ahead on something.

“When Wilcher originally picked the Tar Heels, he chose them over Nebraska and an offer from Overtime Elite. Sources expect St. John's to be involved this time around.”

Sources: Wilcher decommits from North Carolina

Top-30 senior Simeon Wilcher, a 6-foot-3 guard from Roselle Catholic High School in New Jersey who initially committed to North Carolina in October of 2021, decommitted from Tar Heels program on Tuesday, sources told ESPN, confirming reports.

If he came chance is it possible Rick has someone else redshirt a year ?

 

[L J S A]

We are running out of players to squeeze out the door so I would love to know how we would be involved.

Redshirts count against scholarship limit

If the year gets paid for by NIL that is a super sneaky workaround. One that I'm sure NCAA might try to shut down so may as well be the first test case if you can.

 

[L J S A]

Not trying to force anyone to the sidelines, but if we were to attempt to create an NIL-powered walk-on, Ayo could benefit from sitting a year.

Or Davis, since Wilcher is a combo who apparently played a lot of PG.

Will again go on record saying I do not want Traore to leave.

 

[GardenCity62]

Iona posters have been saying for a week that their backcourtman coming to SJU will not be eligible.

I'm all for super sneaky walk on then a player to be named later in exchange for some extra NIL having a a phantom injury then where he'd redshirt. Extra NIL in exchange for Phantom injury I'd sign up for that if I was going to be toward the end of the bench and get another year with Pitino

Jenkins ?

 

[L J S A]

Jenkins ?

I was thinking that too when wondering where Wilcher would fit. I think if Jenkins doesn't graduate on time, he has to sit. I wonder if we have any moles on campus sitting in summer classes with him.

Certainly makes situation more appealing for Wilcher if you can say, Here are the keys. And by the way, we have a stud big man and backcourt mate for you.
