Welcome to the site Mrs. Holmgren!!Bring on the BOOMS!!
The silence you hear is not encouraging.
I really whiffed on my prediction that we'd hear something right away on transfers for the upcoming season. I was basing my opinion on the early signing period for both basketball and football where we'd typically see a list of signees on the very first day of the period. Granted that the early signing period is much shorter than the current regular signing period, but I thought that at least our 4 commitments would make it official by signing their LOIs.This thread took off like a rocket!
I was also looking forward to someone, anyone, signing. Kept refreshing and nothing happened. It's early, will be interesting to see where BJ goes with this thing.I really whiffed on my prediction that we'd hear something right away on transfers for the upcoming season.

Thanks. I think you may be right. I tried to research this issue and saw no requirement for a transfer to sign a LOI. If a transfer athlete's commitment is non-binding, then at what point is he bound to his new school? - end of spring "signing" period on August 1, actual enrollment in school or...? As schools try to finalize their rosters for the upcoming season, I wonder if there will be a certain amount of poaching of committed players right up to the August 1 deadline.Can transfers actually sign a second letter of intent ? I was under the impression that an athlete could only do that once, and that transfers just accept a scholarship offer.
