It probably depends on the talent gap between the pro prospect and the good one that could get away.

Depends on the program.
Scholarship limits aren’t a constraint right now for many programs.
And others have no issues making room later by having a “mutual” separation with a guy unlikely to play if a nba prospect wants to join in June
If you’re referring to AJ, then they already know what he’s going to do.
The only possible snag would be if he absolutely knocks it out of the park at whatever the nba calls their draft auditions.
But they already know where else he would consider going, and will recruit accordingly.
I wasn't specifically referring to AJ, although he somewhat fits the criteria. For example McCullers from Tech is in the draft but now finally put his name in the portal. If a coach has 2 spots open and 3 desirable guys want to commit, do you take two of them or only 1 and leave a spot open for McCullers for what could be a month?? Meanwhile the other guys get away. Seems like a gamble either way.
Correct.
AJ is going to do everything he can to stay in the Draft (obviously) but you'd have to think all three staffs involved (Iowa State, UNI, Duke) have a fairly decent handle on what's happening there.
Also, AJ was on a local sports show in Cedar Falls on Tuesday night. Gives an update as to what he's doing now and what the plan is. Here's the link.

I like seeing Duke on that list. Looking at other players besides Green isn't a bad sign.
OK, so listening to this sports show interview with AJ Green, he makes mention of "talking with my Agent". Has he hired an Agent?? If so, can he return to the collage game?Correct.

Yes, as long as the agent is on the approved list. That's really all I know on the matter. But I'm sure someone can further elaborate.
That's basically it. If the agent in NCAA certified, you're good to go.
Interesting. I have heard a lot of posters say we should target players who have already transferred once because he would have to sit out the second time. Maybe it’s not quite that simple in the new NIL era.
I'm one of those posters, and I still think that. I'm not saying that there will never be players who transfer twice (after all, there were guys who transferred to sit out a year before), but I think it's a better bet that a player who are transferring to Iowa State won't transfer again than that a high school player won't transfer away from Iowa State.
But that's also contingent on the NCAA not giving out very many or any waivers for a second transfer. It's possible that second-time transfers right now still think that they can get a waiver easily, when that might not be the case.
Shoot, let’s just add 3/5 of St Bonnies starting lineup and AJG to the roster.
The PG Lofton is also in the portal as of today. Take them as a package deal in a hearbeat.
Read some guru thinking bigEast for these two. These late ones are throwing more interesting scenarios out there...and we sill have two more days left for them to go to the portal. Thinking we would 'need' Lofton a pg, more than Holmes, but I get the Romulus connection etc. The other teammate, Welch, had 7-10 threes against Xavier in the NIT loss. Wowza.

If it was Holmes, the other three are Ward, Williams, and _____ ? Is he counting Tre King in this group?
