Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Louisville's lone remaining scholarship player has entered the portal. Every player from the 23/24 team is now portaling. As Grace Slick say 55 years ago: "It's a new dawn."

Re: WNIT 2024
Women's basketball has arrived. Of note: less transfers. Less "portaling". More four year players leading to more experienced teams. Emphasis on "teams". Perhaps a recipe for success? The men's game should give it a try!

Not looking to stir up a hornet's nest, but the biggest difference between Hurley's first few years and now: the NIL. Bigger schools and conferences have more resources. Transfer rules loosened.

Wonder what the effect will be on the A-10 tourney. Will they be "seeded" based on their record (including forfeits), with a win awarded to whoever they would have played? Will they be excluded from the tournament, with a bye resulting somewhere else in the bracket?

In other news, Chicago State (currently playing an independent schedule) is rumored to be joining the NEC. A weak conference gets weaker, with the added bonus of absurd P4 level travel needs. There's a signpost up ahead. Next stop: The Twilight Zone.
