Hope posting about basketball is okay on this politics board.

I realize that we only have one scholarship left so I don't know if we'd get involved but...

Sit one, play 3. 17 points and 7 boards per game as a Freshman is impressive.  Got some size too, 6-5 210. 43% from 3 on only 1 attempt per game so may be deceiving.  I'm hoping that the 114 DRtg is also deceiving with how god awful Holy Cross was last year.

He just committed today to UNCW

I like how some of the comments after that tweet are crapping on Nojel Eastern, as if he's total garbage.

I mean, he started 35 games and played 28 mpg for a Purdue team that went to the Elite 8 before losing in double-OT to the eventual champs.

Most great teams have 1-2 role players just like him -- if they are lucky.

Now, if he wants to be the focal point of a team's offense, he isn't that. But to suggest that he can't succeed as a P6 player ... that's just dopey.

Haven't followed much last week or so.  Any update on Jalen Carey?  MU mentioned with any newer portal entrants?

No and no...think MU's gonna sit on this last scholarship unless someone major would suddenly enter the portal

Another interesting development.  If you had to take one would you choose Nojel's mom or Maymon's dad?

I wonder if Michigan doesn't "announce" additions to the team until all their transfer credits are figured out. I could see Michigan being a difficult place to transfer into.

Possibly but I doubt that is the case for basketball and football players. Its not like its UW-Madison

Because there is a rush??

To be clear,  I'm not suggesting that Michigan has Madisonesqe academic standards for basketball players. But many universities have weird and sometimes arbitrary standards for which credits transfer and which ones don't. It won't keep a transfer out,  but there may need to be some administrative massaging done that takes time. For example,  grad transfer Mike Smith announced he had committed to Michigan weeks before Michigan acknowledged it.

Makes sense.

Since officially landing in the portal, Gach, a 6-foot-6 wing out of Austin, Minn., has heard from Minnesota, Arkansas, Nevada, BYU, Utah State, Auburn, Maryland, Vanderbilt, Creighton, Illinois, Georgetown, Oregon, New Mexico, DePaul, Gonzaga, USC and Texas Tech, a source tells 247Sports.

On Texas Tech, they already completed their Beard trimming. Rising sophomores Andrei Savrasov and Russel Tchewa transferred and former walk on Avery Benson had his scholarship pulled. With their current commits they are only 1 over the scholarship limit, and most expect Jahmius Ramsey to keep his name in the draft which would take care of that.

There are rumors that FR Terrance Shannon is considering a transfer. I'd imagine that these new transfers Tech is on is to cover the possibility of Ramsey going pro and Shannon transferring. If that happens, and they land a new transfer, then 9/13 of their scholarship players will have never played a minute of basketball for Tech heading into the new season.

Former Depaul commit Terence Shannon?

[muguru]

Former Depaul commit Terence Shannon?

Yes, and he's right there have been rumors of him transferring. Of course DePaul fans(both of them), think he's an auto lock to commit there if he does transfer.

[Galway Eagle]

Both? I think that's pretty optimistic.

But honestly if he were to return I think we could see a sneaky good but not great Depaul team the next two years.

As expected, no one time transfer for this year..

So now we wait for the totally random musings of some NCAA committee.

Let the coin-flipping and rock-paper-scissors games begin.

Hopefully, D.J.'s lucky square gets called and he can play next season.
