Sharma and Dunlap have both been followed by the team's official IG. That's been the tell-tale sign so far this portal season.

Yeah, I get the original question. Schertz seems to think it'll work like hockey where you can have inactive guys on any given day. Not sure that that's the right interpretation. If it comes down to just wanting to keep guys as part of the program I could see some student managers essentially serving as a practice squad if that's not disallowed somewhere.

I assume there's nothing stopping a walk on from being a student manager? Is there any rule that wouldn't allow a "manager" to "practice" with the team? Obviously wouldn't be available to play in games, but could be practice bodies.

Schertz said somewhere that if existing redshirts are not grandfathered in then he will rotate active redshirts throughout the year. So two of Jaden, Isaac, and Nick would be active for each game. He said he;s not kicking any redshirts out of the program.

Sounds like the roster is complete assuming Sharma becomes official.

I love the Dunlap addition, assuming he he's healthy. I know we have one more add to go, but I'm pumped for the roster at this point.

38% from 3. Nice to have a sharpshooter coming off the bench. Should be in line for a red shirt with 3 years remaining.

He's getting big time interest. I don't think we're in the conversation.

Not yet.

Wonder if he can get a medical redshirt and transfer as a sophmore?

Financially, we can probably compete with Minnesota, right?

I think his pay from the collective/school was more in the $300k-$400k realm. With outside endorsements maybe he was in that arena.

The only point was that he is kind of a "Schertz guy" and I'm not sure his prospects for playing time or NLI money would look better outside of Schertz's system. He could definitely leave, but I would be a little surprised unles he feels like he's getting recruited over.

He didn't sign an NLI, but both Schertz and Pikaar have said that he was going to ISU to play for Schertz and then decided to follow to SLU. Not sure if it was a Post Dispatch article or on Twitter.

Pikaar followed Schertz to SLU. Warlick got quite a bit of PT and has a buddy from back home joining the team as a freshman. Anya had minutes cut substantially down the stretch and is a risk of getting recruited over. His inability to contribute to the offense doesn't really fit the model. We'll see.

Brockhoff seems likely. Anya would be the other to watch.

This isn't an issue when everyone on your team can shoot (i.e. ISU 2023-34). When you have guys like Anya (and Kobe who didn't take 3s until conference play) it doesn't work as well.

They also have the anti-trust exemption so its not exactly comparable to other situations.

He is. Strangly enough, I was working out at the Olivette Anytime Fitness a few weeks ago and saw someone I thought was Ford get out of a range rover in front of the gym. He walked in front of the gym and into a permitting office next door. When I left I walked around to the back of the car and it had a temp plate with "T Ford" written vertically on the side.

They really haven't used Johnson at all for publicity or anything and I've heard staff is very high on Dotzler. My guess is Avila, Swope, Gibby, Anya, and Thames/Dotzler are starting. Thames/Dotzler, Hughes/Johnson and Casey/Brockhoff would be your primary rotation pieces. Guessing only two of Hughes/Johnson and Casey/Brockhoff will see regular minutes.

Warlick has already committed. Will be announced any day.

Hope he can adjust to a colder climate..

He's the blue smoke in the "Recruiting" thread. This blue smoke is for a transfer.
