No idea. I think everything is public record with it being a state school. I'm sure they could redact everything. I think I was mostly venting. -

Gotta wonder if something else is happening though: I mean even players that didn't play a ton, but should get a lot of play next season are leaving too. You'd think that they would want to show value THEN transfer. When do we hear the real story of why Beagle quit mid season? There are only a handful of things it could be, and while some of them reflect poorly on Jonathan himself for abandoning the team, the majority look real bad for DK. Definitely need someone to FOIL the documentation. -

Win and some players will stay. Even UVM has players leaving, but they have kept a higher percentage than other schools. Why? Because they know they have like a 90% chance of dancing. Win and some pieces will stay. Continue being a bottom feeder and you stay a bottom feeder. Need lightning in a jar, or a real NIL collective. -

I am going to do my best to 100% ignore all of the news on basketball transfers and the state of the UA team for the next 45 days (the end of transfer season) and I will re-evaluate at that time. Right now I want to puke. This team came in 8th place in the AMERICA EAST. The 4 best players on roster, in my opinion, are now in the transfer portal - Thomas, Jackson, Beagle, Marshall - and I would not be surprised if the rest of the roster goes as well. No reason to continue to be addicted and continue to watch the program fall apart at the seems. See you all in May. Maybe we will have a better outlook at that point. *odds of me not reading the site and commenting on actions are extremely low, but it is what I want at this moment so that I don't blow a fuse. -
Only 4 years of stats, the first was 19-20 when the tournament was cancelled, so I supposed he might have a year left, but I too thought he was done.

Was writing a long post on why Marshall leaving isn't the worst thing in the world if Thomas stays, but I deleted it. I really liked Marshall as a player, but at the same time he never seemed clutch. Always getting stopped in the paint at the most inopportune moments of the game. His talent is immense though, and I definitely want him to return and to be a Great Dane. It sucks losing a player of his caliber, but at our level we need to figure out how to get used to players coming and going. At this moment, I'll remind everyone that entering the portal doesn't mean gone at this point. It means they are exploring their options. There are tons of examples of players entering the portal then deciding to stay. I'm actually surprised that every single D1 player doesn't enter the portal every single year these days. Might as well. Nothing to lose on the players side other than the potential of losing their spot on their current team if they don't recommit in time. Even if they want to stay, why not enter the portal and let other schools wine and dine you for a month! -

Anyone know when the portal opens and we will start seeing names of who might be leaving? As I said in another thread, there isn't a single player on the roster that I wouldn't be sad if they entered the portal. I want everyone back. They all played hard and gave it their all. If no one else leaves - so the team only has the 2 graduations, Beagle, and Girault coming off the books, there are 2 freshman signees, and 2 open spots. Both need to be used to find players that can contribute at the 5 right away, the team would have a real good shot at competing next year... 1/2 - Thomas, Marshall, Little, Adnan, Lindsey, Amica, Matulu 3 / Small 4 - Reddish, Jackson, Newton, Neely 4 - Margoupis, Taylor 5 - Transfer, Transfer I'd be happy with that roster if those 2 transfers were 6'9 or bigger than can step in right away. Especially if they were transfers from P5 programs that could play right away. Finding a defense first 5 that is a work in progress offensively would be amazing in the AE with the way the rest of the roster is configured. Biggest questions: Do we lose anyone from the above Does Neely have anything left in him Does Amica have anything left in him -

I only use it for viewing timesuseless and gazette articles. If you believe the advertising then it is safe and better with the do not track and cookie burning, but I haven't switched over completely. Trust Google with chrome (where I know I can only partially trust) or another company that preaches privacy, but I don't know if I can trust. Tough decision. -

Use the duck duck go browser. Once you hit the free article limit, just hit the burn history button and you are good for another 2-3 articles. -
So officially Bertram and Filien are gone due to graduation, and unofficially Beagle is gone, so that's a minimum of 3 open scholarships. Who knows how many more got the portal. Need bigs something fierce... Current HS commits: Amir Lindsey, 5'10" PG Ma'kye Taylor, 6'7" F

MBB: Game 31: UA @ Bryant 3/5 - 7:00pm

Not sure where you get that centers should shoot over 70% There are only 9 players in the NBA that shoot over 60% from the floor and none over 70%. Newton is not a 5. He shouldnt be a 5. He was forced into that role due to our big man leaving the program. We still have no idea why that happened and if we blame the kid for quitting or the coaching staff for being inappropriate, but I digress. Newton had how many double doubles this year? IMO he was one of the bright spots on the team, doing a serviceable job in a position he had no business playing. He is fine playing the 4 if the team has another big on the floor. I loved his effort. Yes he missed some chippy shots, but so did everyone. His FG% was higher than Beagle's.
