So that puts us one over the scholarship limit unless someone is walking on...

Holden and Calvin's second trip to that tournament if you're looking for any small thing that may give us an edge.

This seems like a bad sign for Holden getting eligibility this season.
Wild how they just make up the rules as they go. But I would agree, that's not a good sign. Be interesting to see if the fact he's transferring back to his original school helps though. Also be interesting to see what happens if denied the waiver. Do we tie up the scholarship for 2 seasons just to get one more year from Tanner? Does he even want to wait another year before trying to make money playing professionally?

Probably time for YSU fans to start getting nervous about that WVU job opening up..,

So are we assuming Bo is walking on or are we expecting someone to grad transfer out if we're still recruiting a big?

Maybe my assumption was wrong, but I thought Bo was going to be a walk-on. Part of my basis for this was the wording: "Committed" rather than "Signed." More interesting - I just went back to check on Bo's announcement and it looks like that tweet has been deleted AND the story that was on the WSU Athletics website has been removed. Perhaps Bo isn't coming here after all. I don’t know what happened for sure yet. I’ll have to check into it. If he’s not coming my guess would be that he backed out after the announcement that Tanner was coming back. If that’s the case I’m glad he’s not coming. We need team oriented guys willing to put in the work to earn their spot in the rotation and their playing time. New article in DDN makes it seem as if Bo Myers is still coming. The news release was pulled when the staff realized Myers hadn't officially enrolled yet and the school isn't allowed to talk about the player until that happens.

The big three of Trey, Tanner and Noel should be better than any other "Big 3" in the league. They could average 50+ PPG between them. Tanner, Trey and Basile averaged 53+ PPG in 2021-2022. Having a core like that can mask a lot of flaws. The questions I have about this season is: Will WSU have a third big man to spell Noel/Braun? Will WSU have enough quality outside shooters to capitalize on Noel's excellent inside play? Will WSU have enough depth that Nagy trusts to play so the stars aren't worn down in February? I'd love to see a quality 9 player rotation. Will the defensive rebounding be better than last year (and can Welage be the kind of rebounder that Nagy wants)? I don't know as much about the freshmen so I will defer that conversation to someone who knows more. But how much can the freshmen contribute? How long will it take for the team to gel at the start of the season? Essentially it seems like WSU has replaced Finke with Holden but having most everyone else in the rotation back should mitigate this concern. --- I look forward to WSU basketball every year because they are my favorite sports team but this might be the most excited I've ever been. A lot has to happen but the ceiling is very high for 2024 and I can't wait until November. Regarding your last point, I haven't heard any more about it but the team is supposed to be taking an overseas trip this summer that should help a lot with working out the kinks prior to the start of the season.

Rothstein is a beast in reporting but "in Ohio" isn't very descriptive for two Ohio teams LOL. Glad he mentioned the return trip next year was at Toledo. Good addition to the schedule.
