Portal has been exploding with players since yesterday, almost at 400 already...........
Portal record. Going to get worse each year.
Off Season SOCON Transfer tracker
Once all the extra year Covid players are done after 2 more seasons its going to be harder for these programs to quick build through the portal, will be alot less players available then is currently the case............
I see that Garrett Johnson, a 6'8" forward at Princeton from Vienna,VA, has entered the transfer portal. Johnson was a highly recruited prospect that Furman was after a couple of years ago. He chose Princeton originally over two dozen other schools, all mid-majors. Although he was in the same class as Pegues,Williams, Repass and Hughey he has four years of eligibility left because he hasn't played any college ball yet because he had a benign tumor in his leg that has required at least 4 surgeries and chemotherapy. He says he is finally healthy. Ivy League schools normally do not allow redshirts so if he stays at Princeton he would only have two years to play.
I don't know if we have any spots available, but if we do he was definitely an impressive prospect who reminds me of Mounce and Vanderwal in style and talents.

I never saw him flop in the games we played against Wofford. All I saw was they we had a difficult time stopping him. I am glad to see him go. I just hope to goes outside the SoCon. I have a feeling he will be at a P6 team next year. He is good.

The last 5 years of SoCon Freshman of the Year recipients:
22-23 - Jackson Paveletzke, Wofford - transferred
21-22 - Jason Roche, The Citadel - transferred
20-21 - Damari Monsanto, ETSU - transferred
19-20 - Travis Evee, VMI - transferred/Keyshaun Langley, UNCG - graduated
18-19 - Kevin Easley, ETSU - transferred
In fact, with the exception of Langley, you have to go back to 2015-2016 to find a SoCon FOY (Fletcher Magee) who competed all four years at their original school.
It was a forgone conclusion that Jackson the Kid was leaving.

Any chance we'd pick him up? Or are in-conference transfers penalized?

What I remember most was that he could not come close to stopping us, his defense was so awful, and we obliterated them twice!
i'd prefer mack to him.he's pbly headed back to wisconsin.no penalty for in conference transfers.i.e. stephens from vmi to chatty.
If you don't graduate and transfer within the conference you have to sit out, that's why honor huff had to sit, Stephens was a grad...........
FU will more than likely never take an in conference transfer, these guys that are leaving the SoCon are either leaving because they were not very good or are leaving because they put up some decent numbers and want to play for a major conference school, not worth the thought...................

I was thinking the NCAA made conferences stop that rule because of Covid. The WCCP guys were discussing that yesterday. The ACC had that rule until Covid changed everything.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2023 12:14 pmIf you don't graduate and transfer within the conference you have to sit out, that's why honor huff had to sit, Stephens was a grad...........

“Can your current schools/coaches interfere with where you transfer?
The right answer according to the NCAA is no. Many schools don’t like when their athletes transfer within the conference, but the school is not able to withhold you from going there. Recent rules have changed, and undergraduate athletes are now able to transfer once and not have to sit out a year. In addition, major conferences, such as the SEC, have gone away with their requirement for transfer athletes to sit out a year when transferring in-conference.”
This might be the biggest blow to Wofford (because I'm not sure what else could go wrong). Mack and Jones were both seniors and Wofford has no grad programs, so I don't think anyone expected them to stay. Bias aside, Paveletzke is a really good player. He has good ball control, penetrates well on the dribble, and fed his bigs well.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2023 11:43 am

Wofford is now obviously in a 100% reset mode. Their team next year will be almost entirely new players and coaches.
