One of the nation's top prospects at the power forward position received an offer from Georgia Tech and head coach Josh Pastner this week. Dylan James, a 6-8 195 LBS player from Winter Haven, Fl, added to his long list of offers with one from the Yellow Jackets, along with some offers from other top programs in the country. Other offers from James include Alabama, Dayton, Creighton, Florida, Georgetown, Miami, and Virginia Tech, amongst others. It will be a heavy battle for James, but he would be a welcome addition to the class. www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/articles/georgia_tech_basketball_offers_2023_top_100_player_dylan_james/s1_17021_37702614Four-star 2023 forward Dylan James (Winter Haven, Fla./Winter Haven) did not include Creighton, Georgetown or Seton Hall in his final five list. www.bigeastcoastbias.com/big-east-recruiting/2022/8/10/23298949/big-east-offer-tracker-update-august-10-dog-days-of-summer-recruiting |

Guessing that may not bode so well for us. Hmm, Bill Self or Patrick Ewing, Bill Self or Patrick Ewing, let me think. Rivals spoke with a source close to Dennis Evans on Wednesday evening, and the programs recruiting the five-star center the hardest right now are Minnesota, TCU, Kansas, San Diego State and Texas, with others coming to the table as well. Whichever program lands the 7-foot-1 big man will potentially have him on the roster for at least two seasons, as he will be too young to enter the 2024 NBA Draft. Visits are the next order of business for Evans, and that should give everyone more clarity on the pecking order in his recruitment. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/recruiting-roundup-dennis-evans-dravyn-gibbs-lawhorn-assane-diopA giant at 7-foot-2, Evans is one of the best rim protectors in the high school game. Schools such as Kansas, Minnesota, and TCU have been keen on his calling card as he says the three programs have shown interest in getting him on campus for official visits. Evans discussed his visiting options with 247Sports: Kansas: "They have a really good program there. I would have a chance to go there and develop as a player and as a person." Minnesota: "Right now, the style of play sticks out. I also like the area because it is going to be an easier place for me to stay grounded and develop without me worrying about too many outside distractions. I will also be able to show that I can make an impact at a higher level if I am given the chance." TCU: "I talk to the coaching staff about their culture, how they play the game, and how they will approach the season in upcoming years. They want to make a deeper run in the tournament. I talk to Jamie Dixon, Tony Benford, and Duane Broussard and I am really starting to build a relationship with them." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Dennis-Evans-Kansas-TCU-Minnesota-Basketball-Recruiting-191526451/ |

Seems like we have a really good chance with Parker. Him, Allen, and Miranda cover all 3 bases and would allow us to be very selective in the transfer market to cover any holes. We know we have Mozone as the only definitive senior but I’d assume Q is only here for 1 as well as 1 of Heath/Murray/Akok. Could see a transfer from bottom of rotation so we’d likely have 4 slots next year. |

Yeah, given recent history, that seems like a fairly safe bet. |

The ability to transfer one time without having to sit out a year was a huge paradigm change for college basketball and the first year of that had over 1,000 players enter the portal. But like other huge changes, this one will have a major impact immediately and level off pretty quickly. Absent more changes to the rules, those players who entered the Portal can’t do it again without sitting out a year. My guess is that maybe half of the college players will transfer once during their college caree. One if the biggest groups will be players not recruited by high majors who excel at a mid major and want to move up to a high major. A second large group will be players recruited into a high major who can’t earn playing time and transfer, most often to a mid major, where they can at least play if not start. What we will not see much of is players learning the college game for two years while sitting on the bench and then getting into the rotation their last year or two. There will be very few Henry Sims stories.
This will settle out is a few years where coaches will expect an attrition from their bench players and look for transfer players who have proven themselves more than they could in High School. It will be the new norm at most universities. The first couple of years will be much bigger as there is pent up demand and everyone figures it out but the one transfer will level out in a few years to a steady state smaller than we saw it this year.
The wild card is the incompetent NCAA making more changes and being inconsistent on how they enforce the rules for a second transfer when things happen like a coaching change.
This is what I see in my crystal ball.

Isaiah Coleman, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard at National Christian Academy in Maryland, is a four-star prospect ranked No. 54 overall in the 247Sports Composite. He’s No. 13 among shooting guards and No. 1 overall in the state of Maryland. His former National Christian Academy coach, Kenny Johnson, was recently hired at Rhode Island. He has local offers from Georgetown, Maryland and VCU, along with offers from Virginia Tech and Miami. “The long 6-foot-5 guard can put the ball in the hole and made shots all day long,” 247Sports National Basketball Analyst Travis Branham wrote of Coleman after the first live-evaluation period this month. “He created separation off the dribble, connected from deep and got in the paint scoring inside the arc.” 247sports.com/college/tennessee/LongFormArticle/Tennessee-Vols-Basketball-Recruiting-2023-Justin-Edwards-JP-Estrella-Freddie-Dilione-Coen-Carr-189989953/#189989953_10Class of 2023 four-star prospect Isaiah Coleman tells On3 he will announce his college decision on his birthday, September 4th. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard recently transferred from National Christian Academy (Md.) to Word of God (N.C.). Coleman, who’s originally from Fredericksburgh, Va., is fresh off an official visit to Mississippi State. He recently picked up an offer from Auburn, to go along with scholarships from Miami, Maryland, Georgetown, Xavier, and others. What’s Coleman looking for in a school? “I am going to be looking at the style of play,” Coleman said. “If a school gets up and down and focuses on defense, getting stops, that’s it. Relationships always matter. Relationships will play a major role in my decision.” www.on3.com/news/four-star-guard-isaiah-coleman-sets-commitment-date/Coleman started the spring with Team Melo, where he was one of the top overall scorers in the EYBL, before joining Loaded on the 3SSB circuit for the summer. In terms of natural talent alone, there aren’t many guards in the national class who have more sheer ability. He’s long and ultra-smooth with solid size, good athleticism, and an elastic body type. He has soft hands and natural touch, shooting potential, and playmaking instincts. Despite those tools, Coleman could stand to tighten his game across the board, as well as his overall approach. His shooting mechanics need to be more disciplined as he arches his back, has varying release points, and doesn’t always finish his shot. While he’s a smooth handler, he tends to play with the ball too much instead of making quick and decisive moves to get to a straight line. He’s also just in the early stages of reading secondary defenders and utilizing his instinctive talent to make plays for those around him. Coleman is an excellent perimeter rebounder, but his defensive intensity can fluctuate. Physically, he’s just starting to fill-out, but is definitely in need of building up his body. Overall, he’s one of the most talented guards in the class, it’s just a matter of how consistently he puts it all together. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/LongFormArticle/summer-scoutin-series-adidas-2023-guards-191720970/#191720970_5 |

Virginia has made the cut list of yet another recruiting target in the class of 2023. Elmarko Jackson, a four-star guard from South Kent, Connecticut, cut his list to 11 schools on Wednesday and included Virginia along with Kansas, Maryland, Louisville, Notre Dame, VCU, Texas, UCLA, Villanova, Miami, and Michigan. The 6'3" combo guard picked up offers from nearly 30 programs this summer and cut out several major conference schools with his cut list, including Indiana, Kansas State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John's, Tennessee, Georgetown, and Wisconsin. www.si.com/college/virginia/basketball/four-star-elmarko-jackson-includes-virginia-basketball-in-cut-list |

Maryland is killing it locally with how quickly they are building relationships with the new staff. Lots of positive buzz there. We will continue to take a backseat since we aren’t intent on prioritizing locals. This is very frustrating but not a surprise.
