Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Feels like White wanted to stay but got a financial offer he couldn't refuse.

Not yet including White, V/C has the transfer list up to 1826, which breaks the previous record from last year.

Re: Next Year's Team

Hearing it's another NY kid, a PG, who was on the all-freshman team in his conference, who will round out the roster.

Looks like Speedy's plan is to go after transfers from NY who want to play near home then have the opportunity to follow an Estrada path.

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

1089 transfers in the portal and growing as we speak. This number from V/C. I don't know how accurate that number is but this number will explode I would imagine once the tournaments end. So we need 6 players and with these numbers it would seem like this would be easy for us to fill but in reality...

certainly tons of playing time available for frontcourt players. they could stay near home and play together a lot. i believe they are both 6'7".

Re: Next Year's Team

Agree HUSID - I think Aranguren is also a good commit. Watching the below video left me thinking that this kids game is much like Tyler during his junior season. Nice 3pt and midrange game (including the 15 ft fall away). His stats indicate some high efficiency scoring. Nice get! Should have 3 year...

Re: Estrada @ Alabama

Alabama ended up giving UConn their toughest game in the tournament.

Unless I missed another appearance, Estrada got about 1/2 a second of celebrating in the one shining moment montage.

Re: Estrada @ Alabama

Estrada has been a little sloppy tonight. A bit careless with the ball and he's missed two rims on bank shots and a few of those short midrange jumpers that are usually money in the bank for him. 2-3 on 3s though and leads the team in shot attempts.

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Without being able to build off the players you've developed, they can't really compete with a high major team. Bringing in some exciting players for a year or two and a first round exit is the apex for Hofstra and many of the other mid majors in the current landscape (even if I would have gladly ta...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Yes, for sure. Very reasonable reaction. But as you say, we need to adjust because this is the new world now. I don't envy the ticket office having to sell the hope of being one of the better feeder schools that still (for now) has a chance at an auto-bid to the NCAA tournament just to get smacked ...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Considering how it went with Estrada, I bet he was. Dubar was expected by everyone here. Carlos came as a surprise to many and among those, the immediate reaction was: what's wrong with HU that they couldn't keep Carlos? And yet, maybe what we didn't know is that perhaps (like Estrada), wanted to s...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Hard to digest as fans that he forced Estrada out when he wanted to stay. But it's long term thinking for recruiting and it's the new reality with the NIL. Of course it may not always work out where the guy immediately gets to the final 4. But that's exposure Hofstra rarely gets - they mentioned the...
