WFU Hoops: '24-'25 Roster Construction Thread: +Spillers/Biliew/Cosby/Johnson/Abass

It would be a lot better for college basketball at this point if we just did away with the charade and let schools sign kids to contracts and directly pay them. Would provide some level of roster continuity and smaller schools would receive compensation they can then roll back into their programs.

Something like the soccer transfer market could work well. Trades wouldn't really be a thing, but when a kid commits to a school they sign a contract that covers their entire eligibility and if you want to transfer your new school negotiates the transfer fee with your current one.

Can we loan our benchwarmers to lower schools and bring them back
 
this shit is a business now...gotta keep negotiating until a deal is done.

To add to Kyle's cred, Bama's had a pretty good season as the Tide heads to Phoenix for the Final 4. Their starting 5, Grant Nelson, transferred from North Dakota State; another Summit League team. Ask Armando Bacot if Grant Nelson can play high level NCAA basketball (Nelson had 24 points, 12 boards and 5 blocks in Bama's win over UNC).

The SEC leading scorer transferred from Northern Colorado. Not sure how the Big Sky conference compares to the Summit League- more competitive perhaps- but we will see more players from small conferences contributing to Power5 teams given the strength and experience factor over high schoolers.

But probably a lot of players/schools would want to sign 1-year deals. So basically what we have now.

The NCAA is not going to make a rule that players have to sign 4-5 year contracts. The only way that could possibly happen legally is if individual conferences enacted that rule for their member schools.
 
Fall and/or Spring Semester: A Duke undergraduate regularly enrolled as a full-time degree-seeking student and paying full fees can sign up for one course at UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Charlotte, or UNC-Greensboro; NC Central University; or NC State University each semester through an interinstitutional agreement that exists between these institutions and Duke.

You can take a course through the interinstitutional agreement only if:

it is not being offered at Duke during the same academic term;
you take it for credit (no audits); and
you take it for a letter grade (no S/U option).
students must be enrolled full-time in order to take a course using the interinstitutional agreement

Courses: Interinstitutional | Trinity College of Arts & Sciences

Duke students can receive credit for courses taken at UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Charlotte, or UNC-Greensboro, NC Central University, or NC State University. You can only do this if you are a full-time student and if the equivalent course is not being offered at Duke during the same academic term.

Of course, y’all only mock Duke men’s basketball players for taking courses at the HBCU on the list.
 
If we get Kyle, a frontcourt of Reid, Carr and Kyle is solid, with MMM hopefully improving and getting some spot minutes at the 4
 
I suspect we’ll be looking for a Carr backup as well even if we add a true center. At least someone who can stretch and give us minutes at the 4.

Spillers could fill that role as well I guess, but he isn’t going to be someone who stretches the floor. Very productive otherwise though.
