RPI 2020 Off-season: Off-season Cancelled

Re: RPI 2020 Off-season: Off-season Cancelled
FWIW, I had heard we were bringing in a grad transfer at the end of February (I'm pretty sure I posted that on here, but I'm not going to dig). According to Mike McMahon's tweet, Slattery and Tugnutt both entered the transfer portal on March 23rd, well after when I heard that. If that is correct, then that leaves only one player...
I've been on the Sellar's bandwagon for a while now, so I'll stick with it. The fact the he has not yet announced and that he was a Biology major at Dartmouth is keeping me hopeful. Tugnutt was a Sports Management major, so I'm not sure he's a grad school fit academically. But I'd be more than happy to have either or both....

Apparently a grad transfer. He didn't say that but said there would be 4 seniors.

.....but is the March 23 date the date they actually entered the transfer portal or the date McMahon posted it on twitter?FWIW, I had heard we were bringing in a grad transfer at the end of February (I'm pretty sure I posted that on here, but I'm not going to dig).

In his tweet, he says "entered yesterday".

Could they or their advisors been look around earlier if there was interest?

Re: RPI 2020 Off-season: Off-season Cancelled
They absolutely could. I wouldn't take it for 100% because that relies on the timing being 100% accurate between all the sources, which isn't a sure thing as you pointed out. However, I am hopeful that it is correct because Sellar would be an immense help on the wing. Especially if we get fully healthy Sophomore year Shane Sellar where he had 22 points for Dartmouth. Of course, Tugnutt had 30 points last season for SHU, so he would also be an immense help. Slattery only had 8 points with Northern Michigan, so I'm not sure how much of an impact he would have.

Re: RPI 2020 Off-season: Off-season Cancelled
It would make sense for Sellar to return to the scene of the greatest game of his life (2G, 4A for Dartmouth at HFH in 2018) and that we would be interested. He also had a teammate on his 2016 Janesville team that signed with Canisius, so Smith probably saw him then and might even have met him. Furthermore, he was out this season and, since the Ivies don't allow guys to play as redshirt seniors (i.e. he couldn't go back to Dartmouth for another year), he would have been in a position to apply for and negotiate his new college commitment freely throughout his senior year - making a February commitment possible.
Of course, after all this sleuthing it will turn out to be a guy from Bentley that has never even come up in discussion.
P.S. Sellar's Dartmouth bio says he was a student manager this year. He was probably with the team when they played at the Field House on 1/31. Hmmm.......
