Were cuts made?

 

[OttosDad]

I heard a couple names entered the portal. Not sure if that’s a result of cuts or just wanting to move on. Given how long they’ve been on the team I’m inclined to guess cuts…

Yup, new roster rules are wreaking havoc unfortunately.

Not seeing any cuts reflected on the website roster yet, any idea on number of guys let go? Won’t ask for names and will put two and two together when the website is updated.

And that won't be for a few weeks yet until practice starts up.

It’s interesting though, I’ve noticed a trend that once a kid hits the portal he’s generally off the roster page (for other schools this is not in reference to Cuse - i.e. my Alma mater picked up a local transfer from Limestone and his footprint on their website, despite playing a few games, is near non-existent) and have noticed the same at a lot of schools. Wasn’t sure if that was the case for cuts and you’d assume those kids would be getting in the portal ASAP for spring.

I guess the winter portal window for LAX ran from Dec 1 to Dec 15.

It opens up again for 30 days next May.

Do we have somebody who speaks "Insta" who is monitoring everyone's accounts for updates?

I checked on a few that I thought might have a tenuous hold on a roster spot - they all listed @cusemlax in their bio still. They might wait until they have a new college lined up, or they might not really care what their instagram bio says. Remains to be seen.

Curious what the long term implications of this are. We've seen players transfer to schools without the reputation of a Syracuse, but if those schools have roster caps what happens? Do those next level schools cut players to make room for the guys who were cut from high level schools? Will there be schools that don't sign on to this settlement that won't be constricted by a roster cap that takes them?

Many schools simply won't sign on to the settlement who will be able to still have essentially any roster size they want. Some of the non power schools could really become transfer destinations for mid level players looking for a home.

There was a report sometime in the last few months that only Power 4 conferences were expected to sign on to the settlement. In LAX that means just the ACC and the B1G. If so, non P4 schools would not have roster limits but presumably would still have the current scholarship limits.

Yup I believe that report was accurate and what I was referencing (or at least trying to, lol). I suspect as you noted it will only be a small number of schools mostly ACC adn B10 with perhaps a few BE schools as well ie Denver Gtown etc. I could also see Utah going down this path as well.

You raise some interesting issues. Utah of course because they're part of the Big 12. But interesting question about the Big East. Since they don't have football, if they opt in to the settlement does that mean they could spend up to $20+ of the "revenue sharing" limit primarily to just basketball? If so, they'd corner the market of good basketball players as the P4 schools won't allocate near that amount to basketball. And what about Denver, which is not part of the Big East for basketball. And of course there is still Title IX implications that so far no one has any answers to. I saw someplace, maybe on this website, that Texas Tech has stated how they were going to allocate the revenue sharing and if I recall correctly about 2/3rds is going to go to football. The question with the P4 schools that have lacrosse, how much of the revenue sharing pie will go to lacrosse. After increasing the number of scholarships above the current limit of 12.7(?). Many many many issues.

Here's the Texas Tech allocation -- from the Basketball Board on Tuesday [posted by Gotothehole]:

Wildhack is on the Clock

I think they want him to be a bigger part. From managing the Nil to managing our recruiting. That is my sense anyway. Sorry I meant finding transfers was a big part and coaching matters a ton. I absolutely agree with you and NBA front office background should be in charge and he hopefully can...

74% to football, 17.5% to MBB, 2% to WBB, 1.9% to Baseball, 4.5% to Others.
