Luke to BC, ok. Imaginable, especially in today's big man market. Could be careful what you wish for. Could be a chance for him to shine. He was both great--a beast in some games in a modest stretch--and just Ok otherwise. We had a better center.
   Vincent Chaudri to Wake? Good find and appreciate it being posted, but want more confirmation. Are we sure it's Wake Forest?
  A 3-star recruit who redshirted on a team that needed forwards. 
Either Wake (if it is) Forest is betting on a player that normally would transfer well below the A-10. Or CC and staff don't know what they had--odd because their eye for talent seems really good in the transfer market.
   The issue is getting the talent to play together. And whatever pluses and minuses staff members, have, Caputo was a longtime major assistant coach at Miami, which is in the same league as Chaudri is said to be transferring to.
    Never bothered to ask, since he didn't play, but assume Chaudri left because we weren't projecting him
as a significant contributor. Not because of his huge free market potential. The market is crazy, but even if Chaudri left because of money hopes, wouldn't going to Wake (if it is Forest) be an indicator that it is insane?
    So, if Chaudri does indeed go to Wake (other than low-paid equivalent of walk on or relative of staff member) and winds up as a rotation player, we should reconsider ever redshirting anyone again. We probably should reconsider anyway, because while it was normal up until it worked with Christian Jones, there's no upside for us now. Anyone who benefits will probably leave.
   In any case, if this report about Chaudri is true, make it make sense?

The lesson to me is that there is no longer a reason to waste a scholarship on a freshman unless you plan to play him as a freshman.

Wouldn't that apply to redshirting, also?
Waste of a year they are being paid and not available for full work duties (which is really
the way it goes today).
   Did we gain any extra time with Christian Jones? Hard to tell. It likely helped him develop, but he's in the portal and visited league opponent St. Louis. We kind of did it as a favor to Moss post-injury (as
explained here unless got it wrong). Not that we needed guards or Moss was a great player for us, but he's going to play against us next year.
  And we got nothing out of Chaudri, except paying his presumably small salary and the usual other support
for players.
    Guess we developed him so much that Wake Forest grabbed him--or the college basketball world
doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Chaudhri going to Wake Forest is bizarre to me. Does anyone know anything about this tweet saying that Dylan James is flipping his commitment from GW to George Mason?

Georgia ➡️ George Washington ➡️ George Mason

The #251 overall transfer and current GW commit averaged 4.5 PPG & 3.8 RPG in just 15 min/g this season, shooting 46% from the field.

Per Chatgpt:  "There hasn’t been any credible report of him backing out or changing that decision since the commitment news dropped, so all signs point to him joining GW."

This is from On3

The ticket office sent an email today (at least to me, but assuming to most or all season ticket holders) listing the players we’ve landed so far and it included James. 

Doubt there’s anything to it unless there’s something On3 knows, but GW doesn’t.

What is the deadline date/contract signing deadline when we will know for sure who is coming?

GW  now has the 51st ranked Transfer class in the nation

Not GW-related transfer news, but seeing the agent name caught me off guard lol. Sina is now an agent? Hopefully he hooks GW up with a good player at some point!

Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria 1h
6-foot-9 F Nathan Mariano has committed to Seton Hall, per his agent @JarenSina and his agency @ffgbasketball A top Brazilian prospect, he averaged 2.4 ppg and 2.5 rpg in 11 games last in the G League with the Valley Suns, the Phoenix Suns affiliate

And this is a player going from the pro ranks to the college ranks (to make more money, one presumes). If anything makes any sense any more, I don´t see it.

CJ headed to Murray State. They have some money but this feels like a lateral/slight step down for him. I guess he wasn't a take at SLU given he visited there.

Fascinating.  I’d love to know if they offered him the most money, or if he expected bigger/higher level offers and they just never came. Or, if starting/minutes was more important to him.

Would really love the behind the scenes on how and why he ended up there, but either way I wish him luck and he he can rediscover how to defend like he did as a freshman.

Edit: would also love to know how he feels about Chaudry going to the ACC, while he went to the OVC.
