I do like the look of some of our Freshmen on video. Some look like they can make a difference. I was just harboring that slight hope that we were going to start stringing together good recruiting classes. I was pretty happy with Perkins and Brown, but it looks like we need to start over yet again.
Roberts does look like an impact player for us. Too early to guess if he's a potential star.

Zanoni doesn’t seem as sure a bet, but his freshman numbers suggest he should be in the mix as well, and could even push to start.
As for the overall outlook, Brown, Cornell, and Harvard all lose a lot. Brown will still be dangerous with Lilly, but it seems like we will have a chance for the Ivy tournament. Princeton will be far off in the distance, and probably Yale too. But the rest of the boats have sunk down toward us. Will be interesting to see if a suddenly comparatively experienced Columbia team can make some noise next year, too.

Given what's happened in the League, Columbia would be a major disappointment if they don't make the tournament.

As a point of reference, Williams averaged 15 ppg at Triton which lost in the JUCO National Championship final last year.
He should have 3 years of eligibility.

He got a ton of mid major offers coming out of JUCO so best guess is that’s a yes. Check out his Twitter feed.

He just might make the IL's "All JuCo" team, although at the rate we're acquiring such players, who knows for how much longer.

I have been very critical of this coaching staff but I will give them credit for being the most aggressive recruiters on the transfer portal in the Ivies. It might be out of necessity due to weak high school recruiting/player retention and I really cannot comment on the quality of players, but it's definitely a more aggressive approach than simply throwing your hands up in the air and continuing to suck.

Have to agree here. It will be very interesting to see what we have in these new recruits.

NOBODY has been more critical then me...and I have no idea who these kids are or their talent level...but I give staff credit for addressing glaring needs in an atypical fashion....hope it works out

Agree that these transfers will help. It sure looks like we'll be going with a lot of small lineups this year. It would be nice if someone like Bradyn Foster could contribute immediately. Otherwise there will be a lot of George Smith at the 4 position defensively. I guess Holland could start there. It just seems he was never trusted for more than instant offense last season.

Anyone good enough to make a difference at Penn will likely be attractive in the transfer portal. Be prepared for some one and dones.

Yeah, we'll have some competition at guard now - though we'll have little continuity or veteran leadership.
Dylan has a .435/.403/.778 stat line. I liked his video.
