It seems Patrick would be this guy's perfect coach. I wonder why he's leaving.
LaRavia's quick commitment increased expectations of how quickly transfer decisions are typically made.
As an example, last year, there were far fewer transfers and many, if not most, transfer commitments lagged into May (Sarr, Brown and McClung all announced their transfer decision in May). It's actually kind of odd that any transfer commitments are made now as there will be many more players in the portal over the next 3 weeks as the NCAA hoop season ends. Summer school typically starts after Memorial Day and coaches like to have their kids on campus as soon as possible to get them into strength and conditioning programs (and to acquaint them with their teammates). So, in a perfect world, Forbes would like to have the roster set before then.
WF could land a player tomorrow, but don't think we will have an accurate handle on next year's roster until May, maybe even later.
Vibes increased substantially today.
Need a couple things to fall in place, but vibes are increasing
This is the moment I've been training my entire boards career for. We will vibe as a community again. Just a matter of time.
Duke forward Jaemyn Brakefield into the portal. He had the game winning shot for them against UVA. his numbers were meh. 22 games. 12.4 min, 3.5 pts, 2.5 reb. Per game.
An embarrassment of riches at Duke.
Interesting article... Doesn't sound like Larranaga is going anywhere (at least not for another year).
Lykes turning pro.
Wong considering going pro.
McGusty considering going pro... Leaving the door open for a return.
All of their other seniors still up in the air about another year.
Waardenburg coming back for 6th(!) year.
And we already knew Cross (Louisville) & Timberlake (unknown) are transferring out.

So instead of hurting us almost every game, he'll hurt us once. I'll take it.
