Days not doneDang, thought another piece to the puzzle would fall today. (My impatience, once again, showing through.)

I’d be shocked if we don’t add at least one more this week.Dang, thought another piece to the puzzle would fall today. (My impatience, once again, showing through.)
Evidently some coaching changes on the Clemson staff.
He's coming here boys! Buckle up because I don't think you can handle it. Ben is the man!!!! Great recruiting by Dawson too

Well he did release a final 8 last week and we weren’t in it…..so there is that too…..Cooper May or may not have just leaked his commitment… announcing tomorrow at 1 central
Just saw some 4* player released a final 11 some months back. He ended up committing to Boise State who wasn't one of the 11 schools listedWell he did release a final 8 last week and we weren’t in it…..so there is that too…..

From The Athletic:
Top 20 Transfer Portal Commits
10. Dawson Garcia | 6-11 forward | junior | Transferred from North Carolina to Minnesota
The Scout: It’s a little troubling that both programs he’s played for got better after he left. In the games he played this season, North Carolina was 21 points per 100 possessions better when he was on the bench, per hooplens.com. The Heels put up better efficiency numbers on both ends without him. But Garcia is a career 36.2 percent 3-point shooter who is 6-11, moves well, can handle it, can post up and can rebound. Garcia may have to sit out a year unless given a waiver (he wanted to be closer to home in Minnesota for family reasons), because he’s already transferred once. He can play either big man spot and might be better off moving back to center, where he played at Marquette. That kind of skill at the center position is almost impossible to find at the college level.
The Fit: It was a bit surprising that Garcia didn’t end up at home in Minnesota during at least one of his first two recruitments, so maybe it’s good that he’s ending up there now. He had dreams of being a one-and-done during his first season at Marquette, but those fell by the wayside as he struggled with his defensive assignments regularly — particularly when faced with bigger, hulking centers. In the Big Ten, he’s going to be faced with a number of high-quality options in that regard. He needs to focus in on the details and be willing to battle on the interior with those guys when he can. He needs to be a big, not a wing. Still, at the center position, he could give Minnesota a really fun five-out lineup that can attack multiple different ways. He’s a good get, and he’ll be popular at home with the Minnesota fanbase.
The top transfer portal commits and their fits so far
Many transfers have chosen their next destination. How do they fit at their new schools?theathletic.com
Marquette got better after he left, haha. Uh yeah, they got a new coach because their old coach wasn't getting the job done.With an analysis like this, I can’t imagine what they are saying about players 11 and lower!
Go Gophers!!
I don’t think so. In the last several years, I can think of Spike Albrecht from Michigan to Purdue, Miller Kopp from Northwestern to Indiana, Micah Potter from Ohio State to Wisconsin, and Jarrod Uthoff from Wisconsin to Iowa, although I remember Uthoff being a controversial one, with Wisconsin maybe initially trying to block him from transferring within the conference. And of course we’ve shown interest in Isaiah Thompson from Purdue and Parker Stewart from Indiana.Is it no longer taboo to take a transfer off another Big Ten team? I know 25 years ago it was, but Maryland and Rutgers and Nebraska have been added and a lot has changed in the transfer situation since then.
I was just going to mention it was his teammate. I guess I'm kind of hoping for the Princeton pair now....even though that is a huge long shot.Cooper? That was his teammate Broome
Are you thinking of Ethan Wright of Princeton? He committed to Colorado.I was just going to mention it was his teammate. I guess I'm kind of hoping for the Princeton pair now....even though that is a huge long shot.

He is from Wisconsin so while it would suck to see him go to the Badgers it wouldn't be totally shocking. Hopefully he ends up somewhere else though.Don't look now, but the Madison papers are speculating about Tyrese Hunter coming to Wisconsin
On his twitter account about a week ago. Had Kentucky and Duke in there as well.Well he did release a final 8 last week and we weren’t in it…..so there is that too…..
Nah as mentioned repeatedly that was his teammateOn his twitter account about a week ago. Had Kentucky and Duke in there as well.
Let’s not overlook the transfer experience of our own coach: NW to MN.I don’t think so. In the last several years, I can think of Spike Albrecht from Michigan to Purdue, Miller Kopp from Northwestern to Indiana, Micah Potter from Ohio State to Wisconsin, and Jarrod Uthoff from Wisconsin to Iowa, although I remember Uthoff being a controversial one, with Wisconsin maybe initially trying to block him from transferring within the conference.
