And who are you thinking will leave?
Of the 3 mentioned, I only see a slight case for Petrakis moving on. He at least have some film on himself at a prior stop. Kids don’t really understand the importance of having film during the transferring process. To be quite honest I think all 3 may be taking a risk if actually leaving.
Is this implying it’s their choice to leave? Without film it’s harder, sure. But it’s also pretty challenging to be a successful Division I head coach if you can’t be honest with kids and tell them the situation isn’t working. You don’t keep your job letting kids who can’t see the floor stick around to use up scholarships.
Over 1700 Div 1 men's basketball players transferred last year...according to a May 2022 statistic. Somewhere along the lines of 4-5 per team. Obviously many variables play into that. Nevertheless, it's quite eye-opening.Pedon this week with a few guys
Not to get into the weeds too much, but I’d expect Sissoko, Kotov, Andrews and one of Schmitt, Petrakis. I think KLew will be back after his post game comments Thursday. No clue on Liam but I’d lean towards coming back.

As a coach, are you allowed to “encourage” kids to transfer?
Well, isn't the scholarship still an "annual" thing? You tell a kid you're not going to renew the schollie and that's "encouragement"?
Yes and that’s a conversation that’s more than likely to happen. We will see.
Only thing I can say to that is. Things like that will never be known to spectators/fans they will undoubtedly be kept in house. Truth always prevail my friends.
No, I meant, are you allowed to encourage kids from other programs to transfer.
I think if they're in the portal, contact is okay. Don't think you can encourage them to get in the pool tho.
Technically, yes. But it's done all the time . . . under the board. Coaches can find ways to let a kid no he's interested without actually him--or having any of his coaches--talking to the kid.
