Me too. I was surprised we were the only team to opt out, but the spring is still a long way away for these teams that are planning to play.
If Taylor has the team invested, and we don’t lose too many guys to transfer, this could end up being a huge net positive for the Hornets next Fall.
No one loses a year of eligibility, the team can continue to develop (and extra RS year essentially), and they should be fresh come August.
The NCAA 14 player in me is thinking about how much of an advantage it would be to simulate a full year without losing eligibility and then running those players out a year later with all of their stats +++, lol...
Good to See Johnnie Rucker in the mix, dotson, Perkinson, etc. all staying involved.
