That is great to hear on Turnbull as he would be a huge get for us and he would have the opportunity to excel here and compete with Josh head to head in practice every day. Fingers crossed. Again, via the rumor mill, Connor had a visit scheduled for last week. They pushed back the plans because Connor's family couldn't make the trip. I think if he's bring the folks, we probably have a good chance.

I think if he's bring the folks, we probably have a good chance. Connor’s birthday is 1/1/2003 so he doesn’t need his parents signature on the LOI. That being said I would assume that he wants his parents involved in his final school choice. I believe both his parents played college sports so they know the routine. If his official visit to UE was pushed back to bring his parents, that bodes well for the Aces.

Signing Day starts tomorrow. Three spots open. My wish list is Conner T, Gabriel P and CB3 (or Casey or Nic Book).

Current Team: Cuff Hafner Jackson Teach Hughes Kalle Day
November Signees: Battle Berridge
Portal: Humrichous Bailey Toumi
I count 9 scholarships used leaving 4. If Bailey stays that leaves 3 new wishlist signees, Turnbull, Comer (committed) Casey or Book to fill these or others we don’t know about.
I think you counted Bailey twice. So with Bailey staying we sign Comer and two others. If Bailey leaves we have 3 to give starting Wednesday.
Did I get something wrong? I am getting old so I understand if I did. I guess we will know soon enough.

13 scholarships total:
7 definite returners 2 November signees (Ramondo and Kaia) 1 current spring signee (Comer)
13-10 = 3
There has been some recent speculation that Bailey could return. So that at leaves two or three open scholarships.

I may be dreaming but I think there’s a reason Gabriel P is on campus this week and Turnbull’s parents pushed back their visit to UE. They all will be here for signing day. Also the rumors may be true about CB3 and he’s not leaving so nothing needs to be done with him unless there’s paperwork to file with the portal. If all 3 of these become a part of Aces basketball for 24/25 then today will be a good day.

Any truth to the rumor Kalle and Tesch might not return?

Another question: How common is it for a player to enter the portal and then return to his original team?

Signing Day starts tomorrow. Three spots open. My wish list is Conner T, Gabriel P and CB3 (or Casey or Nic Book). I’d go Connor, Casey, CB3 personally. A starting lineup of Tayshawn, Chuck, Ramondo, Casey, and Turnbull would be our most athletic and talented lineup in a long time. Add Cuff, Hughes, and Haffner off the bench and that is one heck of a team imo. Nothing against Pozzatto, but I’d take the guys that have the college experience over the unknown quantity. Probably pretty unlikely we get all 3 on anyone’s wishlist so there will likely be a spot for Gabriel if he wants it. I would think we’ll know one way or another on our wish list guys by the weekend.

Another question: How common is it for a player to enter the portal and then return to his original team? The majority leave when entering, but there are also a ton of examples of guys entering and then returning to their team. It’s not uncommon for guys to “explore their market value” and then decide their current situation is the best for them. Happens a lot with coaching changes, less frequently without them, but it still happens. The big guy from Illinois did it a few years ago and flirted around with UK before returning to Illinois for another season. I’m sure there’s plenty of other examples but that’s just one that comes to mind. Odds are still low though. I’m sure of the 1,000 portal entries less than 50 return to their current school in most years.
