Quote from: el_jefe_90 on April 04, 2025, 02:18:02 PMHampton Sanders of NYU is in the transfer portal. Likely will be heading elsewhere. If that's the case, NYU loses 96% of its scoring from this past years team.

I imagine Hampton Sanders is simply keeping his options open with the portal in light of the rumors, but hard to say.  I think Sanders returns and I assume Quinn Clark is coming back. 

Case Western Reserve is going to be the bigger rebuild, regardless.

Between the significant number of sophomores and juniors entering the portal and the new roster limits for schools that opt-in to the settlement, NYU and Case Western Reserve could pick up a bunch of undergraduate transfers. 

For NYU, if Hampton Sanders does transfer, the Violets will be one of the crazier rebuild stories with really only Bryan Moussako (13-15 mpg, 4 ppg) and Quinn Clark (injured this season) returning from the rotation.

CWRU may be even crazier with freshman Matthew Ellis (17 mpg, 6.5 ppg) leading the way from the rotation.  No other returning player averaged more than 11 minutes per game.

@JamieShaw5 NEWS: Brandeis (D-III) wing Toby Harris has committed to Iona, source tells @On3sports. The 6-8 grad transfer averaged 18.8 points and shot 40.4% 3P on on 6.7 per game attempts this season.

There is one degree of separation between basketball coaches, but Klatsky's brother in-law is the incoming coach at Columbia and his cousin plays for Florida so his ties to Gainesville are interesting.

The rumor has been on Twitter since Thursday or before.

It may happen, but let's wait and see.

Eau Claire sophomore

@grantpaetzold
Officially in the transfer portal with 2 years of eligibility left

Interestingly, Brayden Fagbemi is back in the portal after a pretty good season in Division I.  Hard to imagine he returns to Division III.

It will be interesting to see if Nick Roper goes for a scholarship-level MBA or comparable after watching so many former teammates do the same with great success.

Tristan How was recognized on senior day after completing what is listed as a 12 month degree program, but that never seems to matter.

Owen Varnado @OwenVarnado
Officially in the portal as a Grad Transfer, I can't wait to see what God has in store for me!

Darren Rubin, Denison, has entered the portal. He was injured last season.

Quote from: Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) on March 10, 2025, 12:38:00 PMIt's a game winning shot near the end of the game; isn't standard procedure at this point to make sure the time is right?  It makes total sense that Tufts is trying to get the ball in and score, but I can't imagine any ref letting a tournament game like that without checking.

I believe this falls under voluntary procedures rather than mandatory procedures.

Quote from: Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) on March 09, 2025, 07:58:10 PMUltimately they'll let it go because they're going to stop things to review the time anyway.  Once that decision is made, nothing after the bucket counts, so even if Redlands was on the floor before the whistle, it wouldn't matter in the end.

Do you mind explaining this further?  How do we know the officials were going to stop the game before the whistle? 

Quote from: palum on March 08, 2025, 11:29:22 PMWisconsin Lutheran's Ryan Broeckel played the entire game.

He'll play every minute of every game, including OT, from here on out unless he is in foul trouble or they are in the final minutes of a blowout win or loss.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on March 08, 2025, 02:13:38 PMI was going to say -- Wash U needed overtime to get out of the first round at home last year. I doubt they forgot that.

Yes, after leading by 10-0 and by double digits through most of the first half.  And overtime in the second round too.

Quote from: Schipper Strong on March 08, 2025, 01:10:32 AMCentral played an incredible game tonight against Wash U. We were clearly the underdogs, but we gave them everything they could handle. With 30 seconds left it was a 3 point game. Josh Van Gorp had another monster game finishing with 39 points. He also managed to put 3 Washington U players in serious foul trouble while only committing 2 himself. I think Wash U underestimated us and was lucky to get the win.

I can assure you, Washington University did not take this game for granted.  Central played great.

There were a number of credible sources suggesting that the fifth year issue was going to be taken up by the NCAA.  And the way the courts have forced the issues with the NCAA, I am surprised that they did not take it up.

I remember reading in January that the NCAA was discussing a proposal to expand the fifth year of eligibility and that it was to be voted on soon.

I did a quick Google search and the only update I found was a Jeff Goodman Tweet from late January:

@GoodmanHoops
There is no proposal for five-year eligibility that currently exists, an NCAA spokesperson told @TheFieldOf68.
And nothing is set to be voted on at any time in the near future.

I do believe with the roster rules changes, we will see more sophomore and junior transfers in Division III over the next 1-2 seasons.
