[WRS]

Also, should we take this as a definite sign that he will get a waiver? Assume he won’t chance not being able to play.

NCAA is a strange and inconsistent organization

LET THE MINUTES PROJECTIONS BEGIN!!!*

*though we don't know about Klintman returning, Monsanto's health, nor Reid's waiver status.

 

[buckets]

if bobi is back and monsanto is healthy, college basketball might need to start a mercy rule like college baseball

 

[DeacsATS]

Can we check on remaining eligibility for Adam Morrison, Dan Dickau, and maybe even John Stockton?

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

if bobi is out then let's just take cleveland imo

Portal Whisperer strikes again

Yeah, Cleveland is probably just waiting on the sidelines for Bobi to decide about the NBA Draft.

Playing the long game.

Smart.

 

[DeacsATS]

OK, I'll bite.

Boopie - 40
Sallis - 40
Hildreth - 40
Klintman - 40
Monsanto - 30 (have to keep him fresh due to injury history)
Carr - 40
Reid - 25
Marsh -15

*May not add up to 200 due to rounding.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Gonna be an Efton of fun next year! Especially if Bobi comes back

Commitment story updated with quotes:

Former 5-star prospect, Gonzaga transfer center Efton Reid commits to Wake Forest

Wake Forest Basketball got a massive addition Thursday afternoon with the commitment of 7-foot rising junior center Efton Reid, who will be transferring to the Demon Deacons from

247sports.com

"It was just the family aspect of it," Reid told Demon Deacon Digest. "It felt like family. It was one of the best visits I've ever been on in my recruiting process. I felt instantly at home."

That definitely sounds like a dude that has been through the recruiting process three times.

"One of the best visits..."

Hunter Dickinson is set to commit today. It's down to:

Kentucky
Kansas
MD
Villanova

To show how sophisticated the student-athletes are at working the portal and NIL, the word is that Dickinson's "advisors" instructed Dickinson to draw out the decision as long as possible to create an auction. Rumors are that Kansas and Kentucky are offering seven figure deals, while Maryland is offering slightly less, but is looking for a hometown discount (Dickinson is from MD, and his HS coach is now a MD assistant).

From the sources who would know and not lie about it, Kentucky basketball doesn’t offer specific dollar figure deals to recruits, they sell the potential of their NIL collective based on current and past players NIL income. (word is that Oscar has made something like 4-5 mil so far) Kentucky’s football collective on the other hand definitely makes specific offers to recruits
