Alex Wilkins commits! Great player and big time recruit!

Hell yeah!! Over 25 D1 offers for him, looking like a solid group of commits.

6'5" Boston, Mass native played at the Brooks School in Charleston, Mass last season where he averaged about 19 ppg and 2.5 assists. Hit 46% of his FGs, 40% of his three point shots and 91% of his FTs. His 25 listed offers included Davidson, Duquesne and UMass from the A10 and Coll. of Charleston, Chattanooga, and Miami (O). Most offers from northeastern schools but also a couple from Florida and one - UC-Riverside from California.

Smooth, quick ballhandler has very good range and a good passing eye.

Says he first heard from Furman on May 17th and felt a good connection with coaches right away. Really felt good about the choice during his visit to the campus in August.

Big time commitment. https://www.basketballjournal.com/2024/ ... to-furman/

That leaves 1 scholarship for 2025 class right?

Don’t think that is correct. New limit is 15 scholarship/roster for the ‘25-‘26 year. So 3 more if CBR chooses to do so. Probably why he has already signed 4 hs guys. He knows he has 3 more to use for transfers etc. if he wants to.

No change in roster size has taken effect, nor is it necessarily going to change within the SoCon prospectively either.

The increase in roster size takes place next season from 13 to 15. Teams do not have use it.

Why would u not use it? Anything can happen injuries players leave (Jay Sullinger). Might as well get a max roster

The judge rejected the proposed settlement.

The proposed scholarship change only applies to revenue sharing programs, and it's already been stated Furman and the SoCon can't do that.

So as of now there is no change for any program, and based on existing plans there wouldn't be a change at Furman even if the settlement goes through.

It's possible down the road the NCAA would change it for everyone for fairness reasons but that's purely speculative.

So guess we have 1 left...
