I've gone through and edited the posts with tweets from the past few weeks to indicate transfers that have signed with programs. Still quite a few in the list that are still in the portal.

I think this guy is really good. Heck of a signing. The new assistant is basically responsible for bringing this guy and Combs

I really think they have done a pretty good job of building back up the roster. I like the three freshman a lot. Just from looking at highlights, I think Combs is the most ready to contribute. I think Cameron can provide some defense and rebounding, but seems really raw on offense. I like the juco point guard and hope the lower level guys can adjust quickly because they are only here a year. It will definitely be interesting to see how Linder will handle the rotation.

I look at lists like that and it makes me wonder a couple things:

1) Are these really the schools we are competing with for talent?
2) Why is he leaving James Madison for these?

Looking at his ESPN stats page, it appears that his playing time took a pretty major hit this year. Looks like he was a starter that got supplanted and is looking for a place he'll play more.

Only about 2 weeks left before we know that this is our final roster. I hear that they're planning to fill the last 2 schollies still, so we'll see something soon.

I'd imagine that if we knew what we had already, we might consider holding one or 2 but since this might be more of a shotgun approach, using all the schollies is wiser for the numbers game. Maybe we'll hit on a few. Can't take the chance, one of the last two could be major contributors.

I would expect that we will still sign at least 1 and maybe 2 more players. Staff is still recruiting 2023 players along with 2024.

Today is the last day players can sign for the 23-24 season.

That really doesn’t matter for two reasons:

1. The signing period does not apply to NCAA transfers (one thing that does apply is the portal window which has closed, so the only new transfers into the portal now will be grad transfers, but there are still many uncommitted prospects).

2. Even though a HS kid can’t sign a NLI at this point, they can still commit and enroll and receive a scholarship, there just isn’t a binding NLI in place. That’s less important that it used to be because in practice schools will let players out of their LOI anytime due to the risk of bad publicity if they don’t (just like there was no pushback from us when Makaih Williams asked out of his NLI).
