Five of them should get together an offer themselves a starting five. Schools could then bid on them. The NIL Five!

Team Nildo

[bigappleram]

2 great guards, 1 good big…bunch of solid role guys. That’s all it takes …that’s all it’s ever took. They’re out there.

[rhodylaw]

Zack Austin, who is also transferring from High Point (and should also be on this list), gave it an eyeball emoji... if that's a package deal sign me up.

Oh yes please... Austin has good stats too.

They were 6-12 in the Big South, it super comfortable taking a package deal like that.

Is it even worth following this anymore lol? Too many players. I'm just waiting for a commitment.

That's where I'm at..Just like last year, we will see random commits likely from players we had no idea were visiting.

Multiple posters on this forum kinda laughed at me when I suggested we should be in on Records 4 years ago. Cox clearly was out on Rhode Island talent.

Looks like we got another chance? Good choice for packline style of play.

[adam914]

Records would be a real solid addition. It'll be interesting to see how much high major interest he gets.

I saw him play, and he's been better at a low DI level than I thought he would be. Not sure why he was only playing 25 MPG at Colgate, at how great his efficiency was. I haven't seen him play in years, so no clue if he's nimble enough to defend 5s and 4s at a higher level - He got torched by Texas, but plenty of players would have. There's a chance he gives up as much on the defensive end as he gives you on offense, but still a guy worth recruiting.

Awesome !! How we feel about Charley Pride ??

[Rhody72]

The main leverage that current college players have to get more NIL money from their current school to to enter the transfer portal. For many players this is more important than playing time or playing for an NCAAT team. This is about being paid fairly. Coaches would rather use NIL money to upgrade their roster than on current players, There needs to be transparency on NIL money going to players.

Did you watch the Texas game because they shot 7of 9 from 3 in the 1st half. The Big guys Records and another big were mainly responsible for Colgate making a couple runs to get the lead down. Then Texas started hitting 3's again personally was quite impressed with Records. Not athletic at all but had a knack of positioning his body so shots would not get blocked. Team was very well coached.

Texas' Dylan Disu seems to be their starting PF or C, and he went 8-for-11. Texas shot 51.4 percent on 2s. Colgate was 233rd in defensive efficiency this year. I still think we absolutely use a scholarship on Records if he wants to come here, but there are probably certain match-ups you can't use him in. Not a huge deal though, given that we have so many holes on the roster anyway. We need anyone with skill.

Yup this is the time of year that Kenny Arch Duane and Austin earn their keep !!

Interesting, 72. Makes sense to me on the surface or at first glance.

However, are you assuming the intent of the players or is your confidence level on their priorities in decision making coming secondhand from polling data or some similar method ?

Same regarding the coaches and NIL usage. Is this your assumption or are you obtaining this info secondhand from firsthand interviews with D1 coaches, polling of D1 coaches, etc.

I am curious as you sound pretty definitive in your paragraph above.

He’s talking out of his ass. Playing time still matters and for good players yes they want a payout but it balances with the opportunity to play, play for a coach they like, make a tourney and all the other things that still matter.

And plenty of money is being thrown at retaining the talent you do have.

I never said playing time and making the tourney etc didn't matter, it's a factor that varies from player to player. I'm saying that entering the portal makes their current team treat them fairly when it comes to NIL money. The NIL money varies greatly and URI isn't offering much. Many basketball players come from poorer families and the NIL money matters. Talk to athletes.

Entering the portal could be a negotiating tactic some use, sure. But that's not what you said.
Thank you educating me on the socio-economic status of college basketball players. I thought they were predominantly from places like East Greenwich and Kennebunkport.

Sorry, that is what I said.

I'll add another point that hasn't been mentioned here. Colleges, big and small, are being tight lipped about the NIL opportunities they have to distribute and how it is distributed among their teams. Unlike private sector employees, athletes will talk about remuneration. There is not an arms-length relationship between donors and athletes.

[Rhodymob05]

Over/Under 2 weeks that we see a commitment from any of the 500 transfers.

[ramster]

On3 has 709 in portal with only 27 committed at this time

My guess is no commits in next two weeks

[ramster]

PAC 12 transfers to be way up this year

[Jersey77]

I am thinking maybe have one by a week from Friday.
Of course April Fools you will be hearing all kinds of nonsense.

Verbal commits have over 1100 that entered, some may have backed out.

Seems like different services have different numbers. I'd expect 1800 again just like last 2 years, maybe more. Still have the Covid extra year players so it's like we have 5 years of players on 4 year rosters. While the Covid 5th year players get to play and usually in the starting lineup at 23 and 24 years of age this also prevents freshmen and sophomores from getting playing time they would have gotten if not for the Covid bonus year. So that generates more transfers. Will be nice when all Covid 5-year players are exhausted.

We need starter quality transfers and/or freshmen. If a guy can't be a starter then keep looking.

[rambone 78]

Ramster, you couldn't be more right about landing starters. We have enough of the other kind.

Bc the colleges don’t necessarily control the Collectives. They are private donor groups. Agents don’t want numbers shared. Bc that creates benchmarks vs just a wild Wild West get whatever you can. Net net it’s not the colleges/universities fault that it’s all so tightly guarded and lock and key. In some cases they don’t even know everything.

Bar, out of curiosity, are any collectives having players sign NDA’s ?

Unless he is absolutely blown away, sounds like his decision will take some time.

Exactly, and need to not end up with "9 guys that could all start"...

Omg yes,
Had enough of that "we have 9 starters" could have also been said "we have no starters"

Please stop recruiting for the 9,10,11,12 and 13 roster positions. Focus on getting the 5 best starters we can get.

[jcru]

We got a starter. Today.

[CamsRams]

Recruiting dead period starts today and goes thru next Thursday April6.

Is this just for high school kids? Or does this include transfers?

I would guess high school but not 100 %
