Is this guy good enough that his commitment would be evidence that Carr is leaving? Or do we think he's committing with the expectation of coming off the bench?

I guess the third question would be is he good enough to relegate one of Carr or Reid to the bench? But I assume either of those guys would transfer before doing that.

He would be the guy off the bench when Efton gets in foul trouble. So 20 min per game alone from that
 
When do we start to be concerned that we don't seem to be super in the hunt (at least publicly) with any game changers?
 
This kid will get over a million to transfer. If Uconn wants him they will get him based on who else is mentioned. Uconn entire starting 5 is likely leaving.

He certainly won’t get anything approaching a million.

And UConn has their sights set in other places. But yeah we obviously don’t want to be competing with them for anything right now
 
He’s not going to get nearly that much. AJ Storr was apparently offered $750k take it or leave it by Kansas and he left it in the table looking for $1M. These aren’t the same level transfers, even though I believe he’d help us a lot as a #3 big here next year.

Way too early to even begin to evaluating portal recruiting. Look at the first page of this thread. Last year, WF landed Sallis on April 26th and Reid on May 4th. In 2022, WF landed Carr on May 2nd and Appleby on May 4th. In 2021, WF landed Walton on April 7th, Monsanto on April 10th, Alondes on May 21st and Sy on June 7th. Players can enter the portal up until May 1st.

I’m sure Storr is also concerned about the right fit for his major track. And the dental plan.

Can’t rule out the impact of state taxes.
 
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).

for all the hand wringing about how hard it would be to be a coach in Forbes’ position at Wake in the NIL era, being a coach at a place like SDSU has to be way worse, beyond just the obvious salary, geographic, etc. considerations

you being in and develop guys and they leave or you bring in the wrong guys and you suck

and unlike professional sports, there are no compact picks or trade returns or anything for your efforts

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.

the other charade to do away with is maintaining eligibility for graduation. If kids want to take classes and eventually graduate, fine; just don't require it.

Now that the Covid year is wearing away, WF will be in a position trying to navigate unlimited annual free agency, but without the ability to sign kids who have completed three years somewhere else (the most desirable/oldest/most accomplished)
