I thought I saw somewhere that this started under Dean pre-K taking off at Duke and even called the 1982 championship into question…
Transfer portal thread
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
Honestly, not sure the year it started, but I thought I remembered that it started around the 1988 or 1989 timeframe. That was near the start where K was on the upswing. But, I could be wrong about the years.
Udeh has one crystal ball pick for Duke from John Watson. Hoping we get some good news today or tomorrow.
Dang yea just checked that out. 3 crystal balls for Duke were put in all this morning. Wonder if there's been a commitment and we're just waiting for that one dude to make a cool graphic lol
They’re both likely to be foul-prone early on.
Indiana too requires grades and actual classes.
The confidence isn't sky high, so they are probably best guessing we can get him to commit. I feel good about it. If he doesn't commit this weekend he will likely go elsewhere. If we can get him I will feel really, really good about our chances next year. Most complete team we've had in a while.
Fouls were a big issue for Lively early on but he seemed to clean it up later. Hopefully Udeh would be able to do the same. I think Amile Jefferson is such a good asset for our big men development.
Also, here's a good point from the Athletic on the fouling issues
OFCYeah. I think if he doesn’t commit soon-ish, it’s probably not happening. I do think there’s a reason he visited before the dead period. He can’t visit anyone else for a bit. I’m cautiously optimistic.
I am recklessly optimistic
And you should be.
I like your optimism. Mostly, because it doesn’t come off as optimism.
He's 6-10 250. And he looks like a legit 250. Come on down. Those are some broad shoulders.

Yeah I read KU fans are bummed he is leaving because he was "their future center." So if they are bummed and he comes to Duke, I am a happy man.
Michigan is desperate for good basketball players and probably would have got him past admissions if he could read at any level. Assuming all the reporting that he was denied admission, it is amazing (well maybe not) that he could be at UNC for 3 years and not get past admissions at Michigan. Good for Michigan.
For a good laugh, go over to THR on Loves "decommitment", as they are blaming it on Michigan's tough academic transfer qualifications.
Remind me, did Joey Baker have issues getting in?

Please correct me if I am wrong. When did Caleb Love become the second coming? Did Michigan actually just get addition by subtraction?
Breaking News....
Caleb Love has announced his intentions to transfer to the Devry Institute. Good luck to him.

Not a Michigan fan but props to them for turning away such a big name transfer for academics.

As my son said, “Love found out it is a lot harder getting into Michigan than getting into your teammate’s girlfriend.”
Can't shoot, can't read, gotta be good at something...
This just in, his credits will not transfer to Devry Institute either. He will have to sit this one out until his transcripts get sorted out.
Footage from Caleb Love's graduation.
Congrats young man!
You have sullied the good name of Ernest T. Bass by comparing him to Love.
I wonder if the Fab 5 would have ever happened if this level of scrutiny had been applied to their transcripts. I saw Jalen Rose on Celebrity Jeopardy which normally has dumbed down questions. Yikes, I think he may have owed them money by the end
He answered New England to a question which contained the phrase “which New England state”.
Michigan’s admission standards for athletes are different for incoming freshman than they are for transfers.
Definitely not defending Jalen Rose as I can’t stand that clown on TV, but the issue with Michigan is they have some insane standards for accepting transfer student athletes. Any good athlete will get accepted there as an incoming freshman (a la the Fab Five.)
Last year, Terrance Shannon JR (remember him: Texas tech sweet 16 game the Paolo year) committed to Michigan as a transfer and then they did not accept him, just like Love.
Michigan better change the policy and get with the times or else they will be at the bottom of the Big Ten for many years to come.

They could start by not announcing transfers until they are admitted.
True. But, that would deny us the schadenfreude of mocking Love. And… that’s just plain fun.
Now… back to Udeh. Which insider is willing to break the story?
That is a great point. No way Caleb Love could find Old Man Kelsey's woods, Old Man Kelsey's Crick, or Old Man Kelsey's Ocean on a map.
This is now officially the Caleb Love thread….
Isn't Dayton in the A-10? Could they mean Holmes is dropping out of the draft and entering the portal? I think I would rather have Udeh for 2-3 years. Plus we have already had him for a visit.
