2025 App BB Transfers

As an example, JMU is a good educational institution amongst our peers. However, they have a program called “The School of Professional and Continuing Education”. What is that? You tell me because their website is a bunch of jargon. It looks like filler classes to me.

I’m not saying that to bash JMU (well, yes I am actually) because every school likely has a program like this now that can be a catch-all for transfer athletes if their original course of study does not completely transfer.

I do find it sad that now everyone is participating in the SEC/UNC-Ch fake classes.

COVID online degree programs changed academics. Hence the reason to promote Heather, no need for the academia type anymore. just the type that fits the town and community across campus

Players of the past 20 years or so, close to 100% of them, think they are better than they really are. It only takes one or two people (a parent or a friend or an internet buddy) to tell them they aren’t being played enough, and they’re gone.

Was a bad idea, is a bad idea, always will be a bad idea.

God forbid you miss an opportunity to take a cheap shot.

We can always count on our sanctimonious board troll to emerge from under his bridge and take cheap shots whenever he can.

[Saint3333]

There’s a button for that.

There’s a button for that.

Unfortunately, I don't have that button.

[Bigdaddyg1]

Hard to imagine rolling through life either bitching and moaning or finding fault and negative in just about everything. Sad

Unfortunately, I don't have that button.

True, sorry.

I have tried to stick with this team but they just have too many transfers. Makes it hard to even pull for them. Guess I will stick with the football team until the powers that be can figure this out and hold onto players.

We have done a horrible job of retaining HS recruits. Wilson is the only non Freshman HS recruit that saw minutes really (outside of Huntley). Everyone else was a transfer or JUCO. Seems to be a massive disconnect between when we recruit kids and then they enroll and are gone within 6 months of being on campus. Stuff happens, but it’s happening too often.

Still winning games though so kudos to the staff and players.

I wonder what the percentage is (maybe over the last 3 years or so) of all high school scholarship athletes who have remained at the school who chose them? I’m willing to bet it’s a high number. As diehard fans we focus solely on the basketball and football players at the better schools. I’m sure there are still plenty of kids who don’t envision some pro career and still value the free ride. I’m willing to bet the number who stay is closer to 98% if you consider all sports.

The problem is, if they’re good like Abson, they leave for a paycheck. And if they’re not good enough to get sufficient playing time, they leave for potential of more playing time. The only other scenario is when someone doesn’t play within the system and is nudged out.

[Stonewall]

High Point has a salary budget of $1m I’m told. Not for coaches, players.

High Point has all the money they want.

Good point.

We’re 2 for 11 with HS recruits the 2020-2023 cycles still on the team. Let’s hope some of the 2024 class returns next year.

[Bootsy]

Where college athletics is concerned, I'm finding it difficult to draw conclusions about anything.

[AppFan11]

AI says that "Given the factors influencing transfers (lack of playing time, desire to attend a school they think better fits their personal goals) therefore it is it is reasonable to assume that less than 50% of high school basketball players who sign a D1 scholly will stay with the same school from one year to the next. It says its important to note that this is an estimate. This is because there is no readily available stats that track this specific scenario.

Ezeagu portal. Free’s up a scholarship. Don’t think he played but a couple games.

Out- Ezeagu Muttilib, Alston so far.
Huntley, Tate, Threadgill, Beaubrun
out of eligibility.
7 scholarships outgoing total.

3 incoming freshman. Currently leaves 4 open scholarships? We’re going to be really young next year again.
Math might need correcting, was a Parks and Rec major…

[appstate24]

Just saw Justin Forrest’s brother just hit the portal. Could be a nice option.

GO APPS!!
