Big story nobody is talking about right now that will impact recruiting/rosters at all levels of basketball is the proposed "free transfer" rule that is expected to pass this year. [I think] it essentially give athletes one free transfer without penalty - meaning you can go D1-D1/ D2-D1/ D1-D2 / etc and not have to sit a year. The NSIC coaches are all talking about it this weekend, worried about the impact it will have on their programs. There are half dozen kids in the NSIC that could easily play in the SL or higher. Think about it in the context of a guy like Friedel, who shows out as a Freshman at SDSU - he's fair game for other D1s to take on as a transfer without having to sit. This is BIG deal and a BAD deal for the NCAA, especially D2s and Mid-Majors. Thanks Calipari.
i tend to be pro-player, but this proposed rule does seem to be a lil much. i still gotta read up on it, sounds pretty straightforward tho.
one thing to keep in mind; yes, mid-majors and D2 schools are at risk of losing their better players. was listening to a podcast awhile ago and a coach brought up a really good point by essentially saying guys at the end of the bench for power conference schools are just as likely to transfer to get more playing time.
i don’t think there will be an equal amount of guys who transfer “up” and guys who transfer “down”, but the opportunity to snag a power conference’s 10th, 11th, 12th best guy will be in play as well

We could have 2 6’8” wings that could exciting
TRUST THE PROCESS
MHH, Noah and Grant at 6'7", 6'9" and 6'8" running the 3 and 4 spots in the years to come is going to be fun. If we could get a true big at the 5 spot at 6'9" or better to run with those guys. We also really need a PG in the next recruiting class but the talent we are bringing in is definitely solid.
