I think he will schedule a pre season international tournament in 2024 . This year may or may not have a early regular tournament for TU as the early season emphasis is going to be toward "Wins" to gain confidence and not the "NET".

I'm thinking it depends on which players we get, and if we still have a serious need at a position after we get the 12th scholarship. I have a feeling he will be a walk-on, but I would say that's not cut in stone yet. Just my thoughts on it, no inside info.
This is the current in season tournament openings and the American Team that is in it. These tournaments generally dont have multiple teams from one conference.
I hope he doesn't and schedules a weaker out of conference schedule so the new kids can get some confidence and maybe some wins. Those who think we need them for the NET are nuts. We will get a decent NET if we win conference games down the road. Losing to Oregon State and the early tournament games gave us a loser mentality that never recovered last year.
We certainly won't want to(nor should we) go to the ESPN, NIT, or Continental events.
What would you have done if we got into the London Basketball Classic?
I know you are just wanting a trip. Those are fun and I have been to several, but it has not done us a favor in a LONG, LONG, time. Especially next fall when we need WINS....
I will turn on the TV wherever we are playing.
London, too cold and wet. Savannah is great and it would get a thumbs up from the wife. Vegas would depend on the number of games and the field. It’s the closest but once you’ve been to Vegas a few dozen times…well, you’ve been to Vegas a few dozen times and the appeal wears off.
After the first "free" transfer, I believe the player needs to graduate and transfer as a grad transfer. Otherwise, they will have to sit out a year.
Waivers are being given out like Halloween candy. They don’t want a lawsuit.
Really not much of a reason to reinstate the transfer rule if they rarely follow it. It's not really an exception if they give them out more than they don't.
I thought the transfer waiver rule was “If Tulsa deny waiver, otherwise approve”
So there IS a decision tree. How reassuring.
With "super K" getting injured early in that Oregon St. game, we were left desperately short
For some reason JUCO commitments come in late and I have not heard anything on them. The PG and Bigs are a real need to finish out the list and maybe one more 3 point shooter.I can believe we are one day away from signing day. It feels like this day would never come. I am excited to see some of our JUCO targets finally make their college decisions.
Look, look, look...

Juco come in late because they are waiting for late offers. Or some coaches are waiting on grades to come in.
My guess is that grades, and proper credits, are generally a big reason why there is a delay. Kids are generally at the JUCO for a reason. May be a late bloomer, but more often than not they didn't qualify, had issues at previous stop, or had something in their past that brought them there for a second chance. Everybody needs to do their due diligence on all recruits, but seems that with the JUCO guys a program really needs to do their homework in before making an offer commitable.
Until recent years JUCO was a way to get PT rather than sit out a year. Different now.

only one of our players in the portal have commited? do they go back on our roster if they dont transfer?
Not unless they ask to come back and are accepted. And that probably only applies to one player.
You never can be sure what the rea$on is these days
