We should know who this week, they have through Saturday to transfer and still be eligible next year.
Any news on transfers or recruits?
- Thread starter rebel5280
- Start date
They better hurry. If they wait past May 1st they will have to sit a year if they transfer.
Losing both Brown and McCabe would be do-able. I’d like to keep Gilbert!
I think to be guaranteed a release you have to be in the portal by may 1st but a school and player can mutually agree to part ways and there is no waiting period with a release. Now there might not be many options left available.
1,2, and 5 can move along to make room for all the bigs we can grab. Too many guards and only a couple bigs.
You’re killing it with your info lately!
Additionally, McCabe doesn’t count against the scholarship limit.
So this is what I had thought also. I don't rdoesn't. Who said this but they claimed they were told by UNLV that McCabes schollie does count against the limit because that rule only applied for seniors this past year. I have read a couple article on the covid rule and I can find several items about covid eligibility but nothing discussing the scholarship limit. So still not sure if it does or doesnt.
I heard it doesn't but, as you point out, I could be wrong. Either way, recruiting still isn't done.
I've spent a couple of hours searching for definitive info on this and can't find enough to decide one way or the other. Only way will be to ask the team directly or perhaps tweet McCabe.
Grimala tweeted mccabes didn't count initially. Then he said he talked with unlv and that McCabe didn't count last year but it counts this year. So according to grimala we now have 1 available counting dwills and McCabe’s.
3 DPOY in one class? L Rod (sEC), Harkless (B12) and Parquat (PAC12)
We may not break the 60 pts/game next year
Probably not, but the opposing teams will struggle to get 50.
It will be nice to have some solid defensive guards though. Most seasons, the opposing guards get by our guys, then take it into the lane and either get to the basket, get fouled, or dish it to the bigs for an easy bucket after our bigs are forced to defend the lane.
Other than Gilbert this past year, who have been some of our best defensive guards in recent years? Going back to 2010-2013, Anthony Marshall and Justin Hawkins were solid. Was Amauri Hardy any good defensively? I can't even remember now. Kris Clyburn? Pat McCaw was good in 15-16. BDJ was good back in 12-14. Other than that, most of our guards have left a little to be desired on the defensive end.
We are going to get A LOT of defense ....hope you're ready. It will be ugly at the beginning. Then it will settled....still going to be ugly.
Not saying all these guys will improve but I really liked what the team did with Williams and Hamm last year. Neither was a shooter at Texas but both became more than ok last year. I don’t know if it was coaching or in Hamm’s opportunity but that was very solid improvement. From videos it seemed like BC was focusing on shooting with players (but could be totally off), it would be nice to see one of them have similar improvement next year.
Also, I think this is what makes Williams a possible NBA player at some point. Before last season no way, but if he can prove to shoot like he did and try on defense he has a chance to stick in the league at some point.

Donovan Williams did not have a good year this past season. His best moments were riding Bryce's coat tails. He injury did not allow him to show much of anything. That kid need to come back and work on his skills and show that he can stay healthy and consistencies.
He played better than at Texas and better than I expected, shot decently on an okay volume (3per game). I don’t think he is ready and should for sure come back.
Btw, i saw you are in Sarasota on another thread. I grew up there around the bee ridge/McIntosh area.

He’s just testing waters. He’s not going anywhere …
Udeze now also contacted by Illiniois, Texas, and Virg Tech. If he did not commit to us by now, I would think odds are not good.
That was one I wasn't expecting but very ecstatic to welcome Isaiah on the team! He's big, skilled and we potentially have him for more than just 1 year.
Critical get. Hope he can fill Hamm’s shoes and then some. Definitely helps fill donut!
Nice get! Oh well on Udeze, on to the next! We have Peery and Cooper with KK, I bet they can wrangle another long two-way type of player at the 4 spot!
Saw that Reece is transferring. He seemed to be a good person with some athleticism and skill but he was never able to put it all together here. I wish him well and will be watching to see if finds more success in his next school.
I think D will was playing out of position last year I think we land Udeze
D Will had to play out of position last year especially early in the season with Victor injured and Muoka looking like he had never played basketball before. We need one more big guy and we will be set. Udeze would be perfect because even though he’s a little shorter than Cottrell he plays more like a 5 than Cottrell does.
I’m liking the potential. Stingy guards on the outside and size and height down low could make for extreme difficulty for an opposing offense. Just hope/wish we had a dead-eye shooter.
Webster can shoot. He needs a larger role as we need scoring.
That will force one of the lockdown defenders to the bench but we do need buckets from someone. DW will need to be a consistent 15/game minimum. He’s capable of it but if the rest struggle, defenses will sit on him and force others to shoot.
Udeze will help since he plays like a 4 on defense but a 5 on offense. Cotrell is the opposite: 4 on offense and a 5 on defense.
DWill needs to show that he can remain healthy. You can see the talent, he just needs to stay on the court.
