I just saw Al Durham is going to be a grad transfer from Indiana. I would really like him and think he would be a good scheme fit
Is the Durham the first HM player with 4 fullish seasons under his belt to make known he’s staying school?
Obvious names at Indiana are Race Thompson and Khristian Lander. Maybe Geronimo. Doubt we’d have much shot with Lander and he doesn’t exactly fit a need but remember he was one TB really liked and he still went after him with everybody on the roster already.
Coaching changes are going to be another interesting angle on the transfer rule changes. IU’s new coach could find himself with no team. Of course he’ll just build one in the transfer market.
Here’s a blast from the recruiting past. Will be a 6th year senior at his 3rd school.

Hard to believe he’s still around. I remember seeing JWilly taking him around Scott Stadium during the Oregon football game when Marcus Mariota was their QB.
Woah. I was there that day.
Geez…feels like he was a Leitao recruit.
Jeez 10 yr old me was at that game
Throwback to the “Crunch of the Game” being De’Anthony thomas running so fast into his own blocker’s shoulder on a kick return that he went flying and everyone thought a Virginia player had laid the lumber lol
There’s probably no UVA angle to this, but Penn St just had 4 starters enter the transfer portal right after they announced their new coach: Actions have consequences: 4 Penn State Basketball starters enter Transfer Portal
Ouch.
Didn’t we already take one of their guys in Justin McKoy?
Key came from Bama…
We won’t get LaRavia, but we’ll get to play against him.
What? The second worst team in the ACC??? Lol was the attention too much to bear that he couldn’t wait a month to see who his other suitors are?
According to this article we were one of the teams that at least expressed interest in LaRavia.
It will be interesting to see if the trend is for guys to make quick decisions like this in order to secure a spot somewhere with so many players in the portal.
Anyway, good pick up for Wake.
Just saw Jay Heath is leaving BC. I wouldn’t hesitate, I’d make a beeline for the kid.
There is a comprehensive list of players in the portal here:
Jay Heath dominated Kehei last year when they beat us at their place.
We should take a look at Phlandrous Fleming if for no other reason than his name!
Seriously though, he’s a big, athletic guard who’s not a great shooter but a volume scorer who gets to the basket. He also rebounds at a high level for a guard and he was the SoCon defensive player of the year the last two years.
