Surely there's a better way to do this.
And some of them will end up playing intramurals next winter at some school they had previously never heard of.

Intramurals doesn't have an NIL collective, does it?

Committing to Georgetown. I'd heard that Vandy was interested.

I'd guess a lot of teams were interested in him, but especially us since a glaring need is PG.

Justin Taylor (Syracuse transfer) has committed to JMU. He was high School teammates with Carter Lang. Will be interesting to monitor if Lang returns to Vandy, if not, JMU could be his destination.

I don't know what Lang will do but he definitely struggled in his first season. CJS gave him a good amount of PT early but that tapered off as we went into conference season. He just couldn't get his shot off and turned the ball over in over 25% of his possessions used. He was a strong rebounder but just too much of a non-entity on offense for him to make much of an impact this season.
