Also saw that IUPUI lost Bakari LaStrap. Really liked his game.
This is the reality of College basketball where coaches have their head on a swivel now they have to rerecruit their own players,recruit the highschools,and work the portal.

I am surprised that the Wright state guy is leaving. He has made it to the big dance this year already. By staying put, he might be able to do it again next year.
He might be looking for more visibility to transfer to a power 5 program. However, He risks losing some playing time.
I was wondering if this NIL thing has anything to do with players seeking more visibility in the high profile programs to get $$$ contract.
YSUGO:
With the rules such with transferring. It makes programs like YSU
Struggle to rebuild or have any continuity. We still have a chance to make the dance look at St Peters. But I feel you need to recruit year to year now and hope lightning strikes to get us there.

Too bad about Garret. This entire tranfer portal along with NIL rules have really made it difficult for teams and coaches to hold on to players, especially at our level. I know that Garret was really close with Naz, visiting him often at Clemson, so that probably had something to do with it. Garret gave us so much so it is hard to be upset with him, but for college sports in general this entire situation is a game changer. Teams will need to learn to accept this system and see how to operate in it to be successful. Much like our baseball team loosing 5 players from last year, it really is hard to bring in players, coach up their skills, and then loose them to power 5 teams. I guess the recruiting of high school players will sure be different these days. The power 5 teams will get players from our level and some high school players will be left over that historically we did not get.

Tanner Holden is in the transfer portal. That's 2 big blows to Wright State losing Basile & Holden.

I actually think Tanner is the most talented returning player in the league. Both can play in the Big 10. I read that Wisconsin might be a player for Basile.
