The above article list Harry Morrice as a returned player. Has this been absolutely confirmed or is this based on remaining eligibility? Are we actually down to only one 2023 MBB scholarship left if all eligible players return and no redshirts?

Are we actually down to only one 2023 MBB scholarship left if all eligible players return and no redshirts? Harry's still on scholarship and hasn't intered the portal as a graduate transfer. I'm thanking that Ross has been in correspondence with him about his plans and the team. So in my opinion Harry will most likely return and use his 2 years of college eligibility to complete his Graduate Studies at A&T . As his father said Harry has loved his time at TEE.

Got this information from his father.

Now we have 2 scholarships left to offer. Hopefully, we can get another Big and I would prefer a transfer over a High School Senior.

Exactly who have we official loss other than Duncan Powell ? Kam Woods status ? Now that the Spring semester has ended and Coach Ross's players talk occurred early April, I would say that we have officially lost every player that entered the transfer portal. With Coach Ross only having 3 scholarships left, I don't see him offering any of the transfer players their scholarships back and I don't forsee any of them returning as walk-ons due to their pride even if Coach Ross would have them. Majority of A&T transfers have not found a new home yet. I believe several of them will end up not playing basketball next semester or walk-on at other schools.

Do we know for sure that Jeremy Robinson is returning? The article had Johnson and Morrice returning, but we now know they are not according to other sources. Just trying to determine how many scholarships Coach Ross actually has left to finish building "his" team (3 or 4), what positions we lack depth, and do we have anyone with significant experience returning.

I hope he's holding the door open for Woods and Watson. Still lots of very good players left in portal. He can still be somewhat selective.

Yes, lots of talent still out there in HS and portal, but can we land them. We already have lots of offers out there to players, so we will have to wait and see.

If the majority of our transfers have not found a new home yet, that says a lot. Maybe they aren't that good. I think it's too soon to evaluate Coach Ross's team until they suit up and play. I realize that some on this site question his coaching ability but let's at least wait until the season starts before we right him off. I only saw a few games last season and they were awful so I'm nervously optimistic about this season.

Woods showed towards the end that he was willing to at least become a facilitator to a degree. But Watson continued his me first play. Players like Watson can have and had first effect on team chemistry and if I was Ross of the two Watson would not be coming back and would be my last choice to bring back to our team that is rebuilding. In my opinion big men should be the main focus by coach Ross.

Saab I agree. We need the Bigs for those CAA Teams that has, seem like 7-footers, coming in with the 2nd unit. Our Rebounding may have won us a few games. But it surely lost us some close games.

I know that we will have a new Team. But Coach Shump and the guys, ( Coach Rob too), showed me that we are no one's doormat. Corbett was not it's self and we had to get used to PWI Teams with players that have a "handle", Men & Women. I cant wait to see a Coach Ross Team take the floor.

From Recruit the Bronx-Dylan Swift (2023) - 5’11 guard, St. Thomas More (CT) - High energy and high character kid. A pest defensively and disruptive to the other team’s offense. Runs the offense and shoots the ball extremely well. Excellent student with 3.8 GPA.
