Is it just me, or does this look like Mooney's lost twin? It's just you. Similar haircut, I guess. Happy to have him, though!

Here's a good scouting video on Tasos from last month:

Any further word on Heiman's waiver to be eligible this year? I heard that in the long term a redshirt year would probably be to his benefit as well as the team's. Second hand information, so take it for whatever that's worth.

Second hand information, so take it for whatever that's worth. I believe that sentiment has been shared here, but having him eligible just in case would be valuable.

I've got to confess this isn't how I spent Saturday nights when I was that age.

It's great to hear that the waiver was granted. Now we wait to find out if he chooses to use it or to redshirt.

Refresh my memory... Why did Polanco decommit? Seemed like we were pretty excited about him playing this year.

Refresh my memory... Why did Polanco decommit? Seemed like we were pretty excited about him playing this year. No idea, but if you look at the timeline, the competition at the forward positions may have played a part? Oct 29 2018 - Polanco commits Nov 10 2018 - Goodrick commits Dec 11 2018 - Hags announces he will redshirt, and be back in 2019/20 Apr 18 2019 - Umude puts name in transfer portal May 8 2019 - Umude announces he is staying May 22 - Heiman announces transfer to SD Jun 4 - Polanco decommits Jun 17 - Polanco commits to Nicholls State Jul 10 - USD gets a commit from Tasos so either he saw the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to get as much playing time as he had hoped, ... or didn't want to have to compete for playing time, ... who knows? He left before summer practices started in late June, so it wasn't a response to that. I think it's clear that Tasos was a pick-up as a response for Polanco leaving. I don't know much about Nicholls State in basketball, but I have to think they are a step down. A quick look gives a picture of a bad team in a bad conference that hasn't been to the tourney in a long time. Playing time is all I can think of.

Wow! You put some time and effort into that response. Thanks for your thoughts on the matter.

Wow! You put some time and effort into that response. Thanks for your thoughts on the matter. I was curious myself. We never really got a reason from USD, Polanco or social media. Just putting all the pieces on the table, to see what we knew. Playing time is just a guess on my part. Lee likes using transfers, and there are a lot of advantages to it. I think a negative is the lack of loyalty you sometimes get from the mercenaries on the portal. You can't really afford to NOT play the transfer game, though. It's just how the sport is right now.

It's more simplistic than you described. You only need to look one place to figure out the answer. Nicholls State's 19-20 roster: geauxcolonels.com/roster.aspx?roster=1187&path=mbballNotice anything missing? I think the coaches knew where things were heading and had a frank discussion with him. He then "decommitted" from USD and "committed" elsewhere.
