I agree. Les has had success building defensive minded, up-tempo teams that look to get out and run. I remember Bob Williams saying that Les is the best coach for developing guards on the west coast. Hopefully, TY will stay with the team and become the team leader and that Les will bring in some offensive talent to complement him. I think DeBruhl and Sevilla will see a lot more playing time also.
I think I read that student athletes have a 60 day window to decide on where they plan to transfer, but is that 60 days after they enter the portal or 60 days after the portal closes (May 1?)?
I’ve searched on that and can’t figure out the answer. I know for football, May 1 seemed to be the magic date that transfers were no longer allowed.
If I read things correct, may 1 was the deadline to ENTER the portal. You can actually transfer up to fall unless you declare inactive. Example : we signed Drew Carter last year in July.
For football, May 1 was the last day you could transfer - at least that was the message from Plough when he declared it Lan Larison day (he was officially staying).
Irvine's outstanding Fr PG, Derin Saran, is transferring to Stanford. Saran averaged 10.1 PPG and 19 minutes per game as a true freshman last season at Irvine.
Hey Aggie fans. I track the off season movements for all the BW schools. Just simple Google sheets; four tabs:
Tab 1: portal activity
Tab 2: all incoming players
Tab 3: 2024-25 roster
Tab 4: schedules
that’s what I’ve heard from someone I consider very reliable. Also, that Rocek has enrolled in a grad program and will be back. Not etched in stone, but I believe both will be back
I’m looking forward to seeing how he handles the pressure of it being His team next year. Yes, he’ll have help from others, but TY will set the tone both on offense and defense. Should be a very competitve team
Verbal Commits says we offered junior 6'2" PG CHRISTIAN GILLILAND out of Tennessee. He gets to the rim, appears to be ambidextrous, and can play above the rim.
With TY back, and assuming Nico back also, I think we have one more slot available (pepper and Ade and milling gone, Cooper and Chappel added). Maybe a shooter???
