Mettlen must be back at work, he had a good article on our incoming transfers (https://www.dnronline.com/sports/transfe...6557b.html)

Looks like Hodge (PG from UL-Monroe) is taking a redshirt.

Byington quoted on the "run off rule" where players who get run off by a new coaching staff can apply for a waiver. Apparently last year it was close to 80% of those players were approved.

Byington is looking at Morse, Mensah and Taylor who saw less playing time last year and apparently that is a factor in the run off rule as well. He states again, like he has over the past couple of weeks, that he thinks a couple of the transfers will be approved to play right away.

There is another blurb that stood out only because some of these figures on the AAU circuit are likely more of a detriment to many players lives.

"Some have criticized the approach. Desmond Eastmond, a basketball trainer in Georgia who had previously been banned from coaching in AAU circuits and has been tied to allegations of recruiting violations at North Carolina State, tweeted on Tuesday that JMU wasn’t welcome to recruit in Georgia.

Eastmond later posted that after a phone call with Dukes' assistant Andrew Wilson the issue had been cleared up."
