I think there be will two significant happenings for 2025 to reduce the trend of the increasing transfers:

1. The Covid Eligibility Extra Year will end, therefore decreasing the opportunity to transfer.
2. There will be some type(s) of NCAA Legislation changes on transfers, that will pass judicial review.

TOTALLY expected. He needs a lower level where his size and athleticism absolutely overwhelm his opponents and covers for his struggles to play basketball.

I agree. I expected this.

Interesting to see if this affects Pohto's decision. They were roommates and have been very close from the get go, from my understanding. Always together in the dorms early on....etc.

It may or may not. I have no idea. Pohto may already have his mind made up one way or another.

Probably wherever IB lands.

The No. 1 most likely guy to be in the portal is the first guy in the portal.

I particularly enjoyed the replies to Taylor's Tweet. He's reached elite status with the Bot responses.

Most people can't read your posts if you set the font black.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious...

And here I thought you did that.

Really didn’t mean to sound demeaning there - if I did. I loved that Isaac gave PM a try. Early in the year I thought he was going to be a main rotation guy.

Wish him the best.

I'd take Jordan Ivy-Curry to run the point next year.

I'm sure Brandon Garrison will have some good offers. But I'd love for him to stay close to home and just come here.

That gets us an experienced PG and a young big. Team just improved.

Worth looking into

Jacob Crews 6'8" PF - UT Martin - Averaged 19 and 8 on a 20 win team. Also shot over 40% from deep making 89.

Michael Ajayi 6'7" SG - Pepperdine - Averaged 17 and 10 on a bad team. Shot 47% with 39 makes from deep.

Ja'Kobi Gillespie 6'1" CG - Belmont - Averaged 17, 4 and 4 on a 20 win team. Shot 56% from field and 38% from deep.

Malik Dia 6'9" PF - Belmont - Averaged 17 and 6. Also shot 34% from deep with 44 makes.

Probably some good competition for these guys. But I'd take any of them.

Here is a possible long shot - PG Josh Dilling 46% from deep, 18.7 ppg, 4.3 assists..........could he handle preasure? We struck gold with a D3 player once.
