We have a 5 star on OV this weekend from McKinney  for next year and a 3 star for the '22 season also coming in. He got a release since SMU replaced their head coach. Also, working on Lofton Jr.?   We still need more bodies to be competitive as Beard wants us to be especially with the new Moody center opening.

Doesn’t Askew have to sit out a year since this is his second portal transfer?

Everything that I've seen shows that he must sit out unless he goes JC ( at least for 1 if not 2 semester) or Small college ( division  II or lower). Or he goes to whatever the minor league NBA is now.

So, Devin Askew commits to Cal. He has to sit for a year unless he gets a NCAA waiver? Didn't realize they still had waivers around.

From famine to feast at the PG position.

How did we miss this?

It was in the news section of Hornsports.

I'm also assuming there was less hype and excitement from the fan base in general since Anamekwe was a 3-star. I think it's a solid get though.

I'll admit, I don't know a thing about him.

Or gets a waiver, which haven't been hard to come by.

Other than a few articles I've read about him, I'm in the same boat. LOL.

Has anyone heard or read anything on how the visit went?

Also, sounds like Disu is coming back unless he heads to the NBA. Based on last season, coming back seems way more likely.

Above it says he committed to Cal... what am I missing?

That was Devin Askew, the PG who had transferred from Kentucky to Texas.

Yes, the waiver is getting passed around like a clearance item. Guessing both Tre Mitchell and Devin Askew are getting them.

Guessing we are in a wait and watch mode for some of these guys? Anything anyone is hearing?

Sounds like it's down to Texas and Tennessee for Tyrese Hunter.
