I will say it one more time...I wish the NCAA would walk back on the stupid pandemic rule.....it is a mess, it is creating a mess....It was done because they thought seniors would miss their senior year....95% did not.....Give the Ivy League (did any other leagues miss the whole season?) and call it a day. But the last time the NCAA made any kind of coherent decision depaul was relevant.

I would note that “heard from” is likely way different than active full on recruitment. If I had to guess it’s a lot of “would you be interested in us/our level/etc.” You want to know that before you even move into recruiting.

At this point I also think we have a high enough profile that we’re a cool name to put on a list when going through all the schools.

Are any of the Ramblers on the portal list? I would anticipate 2 or 3.

Won't happen until the season is definitively over. Remember Satterwhite and Avery had to wait until April to announce transferring.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Basically, as soon as players hit transfer portal, Valentine follows them.

So, obviously, doesn't mean much for any individual recruit. Just that we're keeping close eye on xfer portal (as I imagine many/most schools are). Here's the latest

All the transfers should form their own league and set up their own tournament to break the NCAA monopoly.
As Al Davis said, "just win baby!"
Great 30/30 piece on ESPN on Davis vs the NFL, That is how you get respect. Challenge the status quo. Settle for crumbs and left overs and that's wait you get.
The NCAA selection committee reminds me of the "college of cardinals" that select the Pope.
Teams breathlessly await the official word from the color of the chimney smoke. A real rubics cube to understand. the Quad system.
Now all they need are some mirrors.
No way Drake should get left out! None!!!!

But, Drake probably will get left out.

they should rank and have consequences for P5 schools non-con schedule......Lets say you play 18 Conference games and 14 of those are quad 1. and you play not quad 1 or 2 games against non-majors....then they should be penalized for that in the selection process....there will be teams who in this circumstance have all their quality games in conference....some will not have a winning record in conference.....and all non-cons wins against 3rd and 4th.....there is no evidence that they are better than good mid-majors..if they wont play them..then they should not be rewarded as if they have. MId Majors should also publish their declined offers to play, specifically home and home.....I would put it on a billboard

GREAT SUGGESTION NATE!
LETS END THE NCAA BIAS AND STACKED DECK. The great "scheme" perpetuates and rewards the power structure maintaining its self.
