5th Year transfer recruits

We are looking into Tre Holloman formerly of NC State per John Rothstein.

We are also looking at Dug McDaniel, the well traveled PG last seen at Memphis and K-State per Jeff Goodman

Can we mold them into one perfect player?

• Dug McDaniel: Offers higher raw production and true point guard playmaking. He can breakdown defenses off the bounce, but requires high ball-dominance and carries lower field goal percentages.
• Tre Holloman: Brings physical, Big Ten/ACC-tested perimeter defense and a high-percentage 3-point stroke (40.2%). He fits easily into an off-ball role alongside secondary ball-handlers.

Per Chad Brendel, the staff are not pursuing Dug McDaniel. The information regarding what schools have shown interest came from McDaniel's agent, who is pumping his client's value by playing schools against each other. If there was even one contact with a school, he mentioned them. I don't know about Holloman.

That sounds about right for Dug

Do we really need another guard unless they have real star power?

[Lobot]

And they're ineligible again at least for now

Looks like we reached out to McNeese St CG DJ Richards according to the Portal Report account on X. This report happened after the injunction was stayed so I'm not sure if we're hedging in case the stay is overturned or what we're doing here.

One thing is obvious. We're looking for a upperclassman guard to fill the 15th spot on the roster.

My niece dates Javon Bennett, who graduated from UD in the spring. He was one of the plaintiffs in the case brought in Cincinnati that also involved MJ Collins. He had a deal in place to play at Gonzaga but had not left yet when the motion for stay was granted. He is now stuck in limbo while it all sorts out. It is chaos with the competing court rulings and I hope they get it resolved quickly so players and teams can move forward.

I'm still trying to sort all this out but there are now multiple state level cases going on. At least one an California, a second one in Colorado and one in Kentucky. There also maybe one in Louisiana but I haven't figured out if that one is even related.

There's a ton more in play than that. I ran this past Claude Opus 5, which provided the following:


Quick framing: Friday's 10th Circuit order (2-1) stayed Judge Sweeney's nationwide Wisne injunction pending an expedited appeal, which means class-of-2022 athletes are ineligible again unless they hold their own state or individual order. That's why the state dockets matter so much right now. Here's where things stand, state by state:

Live orders currently protecting players

Tennessee — Washington v. NCAA, Davidson County Chancery. Chancellor I'Ashea Myles granted a temporary injunction to Jalen Washington and 18 other basketball players, ordering the NCAA to recognize them as eligible for 2026-27 and to reopen the transfer portal. Unaffected by the 10th Circuit stay. Separately, Pavia, Zeigler, Boyd, and Patterson are all pending in M.D. Tenn.
WBOC
Louisiana — A TRO covering 33 athletes, including 16 football players, several of whom are on NFL rosters. The order lets them enter the portal, enjoins the rule of restitution and the "ghost transfer" rule, and required the portal opened for one week; players released by NFL teams before September 1 can join a college roster.
WSBT
On3
California — Glancey, Santa Clara Superior Court. A group of 76 players (Donovan Dent, Jordan Pope, Jaxon Kohler among them). TRO granted August 18; preliminary-injunction show-cause hearing August 25.
New York — Iwuchukwu, Queens County Supreme Court. TRO granted August 18 covering practice, recruitment, and transfer; PI hearing September 1.
Georgia — Godfrey, Cobb County Superior Court, 16 men's basketball players. Interlocutory injunction granted August 5 on breach-of-contract and Georgia Fair Business Practices Act grounds; NCAA noticed an appeal August 18 to the Georgia Court of Appeals. Trial set for January 2027. Morton is also pending in N.D. Ga.

Injunction won but currently stayed

Ohio — Borovicanin, Hamilton County Common Pleas, 24 basketball players. Won a preliminary injunction July 9, but the First District Court of Appeals stayed it August 17. Plaintiffs' brief due September 9, oral argument September 22.

Filed and awaiting rulings

New Jersey — Koonin, Essex County (11 athletes, mostly Rutgers-adjacent basketball plus two baseball). Hearing on temporary restraints August 24.
Missouri — Tettamble, St. Louis County Circuit (Tulsa tennis player, redshirt/waiver wrinkle). TRO hearing August 24.
West Virginia — Lorient, N.D. W.Va. Briefing due September 1 and 15; PI hearing September 24.
North Carolina — Evans, E.D.N.C. Waiver-denial challenge; briefing schedule and hearing date set.
Texas — Deck, N.D. Tex. Filed August 18, primarily a portal/transfer-window antitrust claim with the eligibility claim pled as backup precisely in case Wisne got stayed — which it now has.
Nevada — Fuller and Wiley, D. Nev.
Iowa — James, S.D. Iowa (pro se, track athlete). Filed August 18, no ruling yet.
New Mexico — Karhu, 2nd Judicial District. Emergency hearing was denied this week, but the judge expressly allowed him to renew if Wisne were stayed. It now has been, so expect a refiling.
Colorado (beyond Wisne) — Campbell (PI and class-cert motions filed August 18) and Moore/Pearce, a new putative class action filed August 20 for D-II/D-III players trying to move up to D-I, a group Wisne's class definition left out.

One thing worth watching over everything else: the NCAA has petitioned the JPML to consolidate the federal cases as MDL No. 3198 in the Middle District of Tennessee. Response briefs are due August 26 and the panel hears argument September 24 in Chicago. That wouldn't touch the state-court cases, which is exactly why plaintiffs' lawyers have been steering into state courts.

Two caveats. State dockets are uneven and expensive to access, so any list like this undercounts, and filings are coming in daily. And most of these are TROs and preliminary injunctions, not merits rulings — nobody has actually won yet.
