Who on that list would realistically come to Hofstra?
Some are well-known (no shot at all), others are from power schools (if they're a top player there, they'll only go to another power school), and the rest are from mid-majors (if they're a top player on that list, they'll jump from their mid-major school to a power school).
Matthew Van Komen, Elon's 7-4 center, and Keenan Fitzmorris, SBU's former center (leaving Stanford), are both on the list. Not that they would transfer here, but how do they still have any eligibility left? The NCAA has not yet approved its "5-in-5" rule.

I noticed them and thought about it with Hofstra for a second but they'll both likely go to power league team if they do have eligibility. Fitzmorris already did - he went from Stanford to Stony Brook, and then played (though, not much) at Northwestern last year. Some guys do return to mid-majors after getting their money and not playing much on the bigger stage, so it's possible Fitzmorris could do that, but that type of case is often not likely.
A lot of guys entered the portal late in the window this offseason just in case the House vs. NCAA case goes their way. If it doesn't, no harm. They just won't play. But entering the portal at least gives them the shot in case they are granted that extra year of eligibility. Here's a bit more on it: https://www.sbnation.com/college-basket ... ligibility
Charleston signed a kid named Mister Dean today. Besides having an awesome name, he's 6'6, was the Big South Freshman of the Year, and averaged a ho hum 15.7ppg and 5.5 reb, and shot 57% from the field. Would have to imagine a kid like that didn't come cheap. Will our time ever come??
Well boys-I can honestly say I’m very scared about this situation we are now facing. Don’t want to be negative, but we need to be transparent. With all the firepower Charleston and Uncw are no putting together, the CAA may be a runaway and it doesn’t look like we will be competing.
With Speedy celebrating his 47th birthday yesterday I was hoping he would have received some birthday presents in the form of recruit signings. Maybe they will be a little belated!!
