Man, the whole college basketball transfer thing is wild these days. I’ve been digging into the Dayton Flyers basketball transfer situation, and let me tell you, it’s a real rollercoaster. So, the transfer portal opened up on March 18th, and it feels like thousands of players from Division I schools all jumped in. It’s crazy!
First, I started by reading up on the whole transfer portal timeline. Apparently, this year, they are changing the days to 30 days during the spring. They’ll open it up after the second round of the NCAA Tournament and close it before the end of April. That’s new this year. Plus, players can still transfer for 30 days if their head coach leaves. It’s like a revolving door for these college teams, always adjusting.
Then I looked specifically at the Dayton Flyers. It seems like they brought in four new guys from the portal last spring. These players did pretty well, helping the team win 25 games. Now, the coaches have one open spot for the 2024-25 season, so they’re probably looking to fill that.
Players Leaving
- Nate Santos: One of the players, Nate Santos, reportedly went into the transfer portal on a Sunday night. I guess he’s looking for a new team.
- Zimi Nwokeji: Another player, Zimi Nwokeji, also entered the portal. It happened on a Monday night. It’s interesting to see who’s leaving and why.
- Mustapha Amzil: There was also news about Mustapha Amzil leaving the Flyers. It seems like there’s a lot of movement happening.
I tried to find out more about why these guys are leaving, but it’s all speculation. Maybe they want more playing time, or they don’t like the new coach, or maybe they just want a change of scenery. Who knows?
New Commitments
On the flip side, I saw that the Dayton team got a new commitment through the transfer portal this off-season. They’re not just losing players; they’re also bringing in new talent. It’s like a constant balancing act for these coaches, trying to keep the team strong.
The whole process is fascinating. I started by just wanting to know who was coming and going for Dayton, but I ended up learning a lot about how the transfer portal works in general. It’s like a whole other side of college basketball that you don’t see on the court. It’s a bit messy, but it keeps things interesting, I guess. They named it “Flyers” after the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, who were from Dayton and were flight pioneers. They even designed the Wright Flyer I and made a lot of its parts, like the propellers and engine, right here in Dayton. Pretty cool history, huh?
Anyways, I’ll keep following the Dayton Flyers transfer news. It’s like a soap opera, always some new drama unfolding. I Just want to see how this whole transfer thing affects the team’s performance next season. It’s going to be interesting, for sure!
