Very concerning if there’s anything going on. Need some real leadership to step up!

A move to the PL would be the white flag of surrender for this program. Might as well go to the ODAC.

There is a bill currently making its way through Congress to clarify nil for non-citizens. It is strange though that more CBB writers are not talking about it. Maybe it is an awkward question to ask a coach “Hey congrats on the transfer - isn’t what the nil collective did potentially illegal?”

Wow, on that one article on Michigan portal work - it mentioned that they had 9 guards out of their 13 roster spots.

probably includes a couple 6'7" guys who like to call themselves guards.

This article is will really help recruiting. - NOT!

Excellent info Fan1. As much as I like Dlo, and Hunt , and now GW3 - we can never have enough guards. Wow, on that one article on Michigan portal work - it mentioned that they had 9 guards out of their 13 roster spots. And another two of those are Wolf from Yale - 7 footer and Goldin 7 footer from FAU. Anyway, GW3 is in a good spot to earn a big role and have a big impact. Excited for the pick up!!!

understand we have another gd on campus now.

Was told both of GW's parents were pro hoop players.

GW3 is a combo guard.

Yes, different 5 played offense and defense.

Yep, sounds about right. Will be curious about Tynne and how he fits. I'm sure he feels that he should be in the competition for a starters role. Best man will win out.

yep. not handing GW3 or anyone else a starting spot. go out and compete all summer and fall.

yeah, no shot clock. like I said ... awful.

very good chance at an all-transfer starting line-up.
1) GW3
2) Hunt
3) TBD
4) Neskovic
5) Beagle

a transfer to be named later competes to start at forward with Tanner and the freshmen.
Tyne, Walz and Roche make a strong bench rotation.
Soulis I just hope is healthy for now.

and small ball:
Tyne, Hunt, GW3, McGlothin, Neskovic

and of course for SF how about this one:

GW3, Hunt, McGlothin, Neskovic, Soulis

Again, Mooney seems much better at this portal era when he has to pursue transfers, as opposed to landing a random player from Cleveland State. Good portal season for us so far.

Will be very interesting as to who we get with this last spot. We definitely needed another lead guard. I like both Tyne and Dlo a lot, but both have some deficiencies, and if either misses time we would be down to 1 ballhandler on the roster.

I could see Walz starting - especially on the trajectory he showed from year 1 to 2. It sounds like Beagle next to him is something Mooney is open to. Lot of lineup possibilities.

I could see some different ones:

GW3, Hunt, Neskovic, Beagle, Walz
GW3, Hunt, McGlothin, Neskovic, Walz
Tyne, Hunt, GW3,Neskovic, Beagle/Walz

Good summary of what Michigan thought of him coming in.

Not every day you pick up a founding father and former president in the portal. Not bad.

The question is…

Is there a new King in town?

Fantastic pick up, looks to have A grade athleticism, handle and quickness. I like that he’s also 6’2”.

Portal!

Let’s lock up the UConn guy and get going.

I’m still looking for UConn and Irvine if room.

We can wrap this up with Cellophane and Glue…

wow there goes The Giper! I'm ready for George Washington night at the RC now, a powdered wig on each seat!

Whoa. I know he didn't play all that much his freshman year on a bad and probably dysfunctional Michigan team. But he is a former Top 100 recruit, originally committed to Ohio State before decommitting and going to Michigan. Offers from schools like Tennessee, Auburn, Louisville, Xavier, Cincinnati. Wake and UVA were in his Top 5 after he decommitted from Ohio State.

This might be our most highly recruited player ever to suit up for Richmond. This was out of the blue, only hit the portal a couple weeks ago. Great job by staff on getting a big time recruit to come here.

never landed AW3, so we got our GW3!

former top 100 kid? sign me up! would love to see who called him when he hit the portal. had to be a who's who.

I get we're a great destination for lead guards. still. really want to hear how we went about landing a guy like this. especially with all the big NIL money out there. no known ties to the area. from Kentucky, went to HS in Ohio.

strange situation at Michigan. hit the portal in March after the coach was fired. new coach comes in and re-recruits him. so he takes his name out of the portal. then new coach brings in six (6!) new guards. GW3 re-entered the portal in late April.
