Transfer Portal
Double ET:
News reported that Rick Pitino who had just took over St. John’s MBB team indicted that he would get rid of most of the players currently on the team because they would not fit into his style of play. Hopefully, Calhoun would be able to grab one of those guys when they enter the portal.

I hope a lot of power 5 bench players will join the mid majors by entering the portal to get more playing time.
Speaking on the question on whether coach C will stay after this year’s success, the FDU head coach just left to join Iona after just one year on the job. Of course, he took the team to the big dance and took down the one seat.

That whole dynamic with FDU is crazy. If it weren't for the ridiculous rule that a school moving up to D1 can't be eligible for postseason, Merrimack would have made the tournament and Tobin Anderson wouldn't even have been considered for the Iona job.
Instead FDU gets a play in game and wins, then takes down Purdue, and nearly pulled off another upset to the Sweet 16. It got the FDU program a ton of exposure. I did not know FDU had the smallest team in college basketball and didn't realize he took a 4-win team to what he accomplished in one year. As I mentioned before, ironically Brandon Rush was at FDU last year.
However, with that success now FDU is probably starting all over again.

The whole dynamic of your post is wrong.
Anderson was a finalist for the job when Pitino got it. To say he wouldn't even be considered is probably the furthest from the truth.

The NCAA issued an updated memo to college athletics programs regarding the waiver process for undergraduates who are two-time transfers.
“In all sports, four-year undergraduate student athletes who decide to transfer to a new NCAA school can generally be eligible to compete for the new school provided that they have not previously transferred and notify their current school by entering the NCAA Transfer Portal during their sport-specific transfer window,” the memo read.
Of course, that practice has been standard for a few years now, as college athletes became immediately eligible at their new institutions as a first-time transfer upon the inception of the transfer portal.
The memo continued, and noted the rules for athletes who did not qualify for the one-time transfer exception to become immediately eligible.
“A waiver process remains available for undergraduate student-athletes who do not qualify for the one-time transfer exception; however there have been changes made to the types of requests that will be considered.
“An undergraduate transfer waiver will only be considered for student-athletes who transfer for reasons related to the student-athlete’s physical or mental health and well-being; due to exigent circumstances outside the student-athlete’s control (e.g., physical or sexual assault or discrimination based on a protected class); or assertions involving diagnosed education impacting disabilities.”
The memo also said that waivers will no longer be approved just because the athlete’s participation opportunity at their former school changed, or even because of a coaching change or a change in the athlete’s scholarship status.
YsuPride:
So that means that the 1,000 or so athletes that entered the portal are exempt from that? need clarification
Double ET:
I assume Exigent circumstances should include the lost of scholarship from the current school.
If that is true, we can only get players from the portal after they have completed 4 year of eligibility.
All others can only receiver waivers if they meet the exigent circumstances.
So, if we want to get players (from portal) who could play more than one year, they must receive waivers.
Am I on the right track?
