Maybe time to start keeping an eye on this. Here's when Holy Cross players entered the portal last year:
DaJion Humphrey - March 14th. Judson Martindale - March 14th RJ Johnson - March 25th Kyrell Luc - March 25th.
As noted elsewhere, the previous three HC All-Rookie team selections (Luc, Johnson, and Joe Pridgen) all chose to transfer.

You do know that thread titles like this can cause panic

Presume this thread is intended to track the two way nature of the portal. Timeline of other players entering the portal choosing Holy Cross:
Gerrale Gates (reported in portal mid-March with Albany first appearing to land him in April through a verbal commitment before thankfully committing in writing to HC in May). 2019 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year.
Joe Octave (reported in portal on March 17 and committing to HC on April 9)
Jade Tse (not sure when entered; committed to HC in May)
Nolan Dorsey (announced his intention to leave New Mexico on Jan 30, subsequently entered portal and committed to HC mid April).
Suggestions as to best single source to track portal traffic?

It's interesting that neither Wilbar or Lewis are on that list. Either the list is incomplete or those two guys haven't officially entered the portal

Neither one will get much, if any, D1 interest, so no real hurry.

3 Bucknell players (Rice, Timmerman, and van der Heijden) and O'Boyle from Lafayette in the portal already. Should be another busy transfer portal season.

All seniors-presumably looking to play in grad school The website says they're all juniors so that's confusing and Bucknell and Lafayette are both universities so couldn't they all stay and play their covid year?

They are all finishing their senior year and graduating soon. None are allowed to return to their respective schools. Bucknell has a couple of graduate programs but none that these players would qualify for. Lafayette is not a university and has no grad programs.

Smart move by Lewis. He needs playing time. Maybe he can develop his inside game against less fearsome front courts.
Regarding Wilbar, I bit hook,line and sinker on his highlight reel. HC is his third school. So perhaps he may want to finish his degree here and then use his remaining eligibility in grad school somewhere. If he is still enrolled at HC.

Not sure abt Wilbar, but Lewis already at a JuCo Why would someone blow a free semester at a pretty good (that's understating it) college to spend it at a junior college? Did he get to play ball there?

Did he get to play ball there? my guess is his mid-year departure had to do with something not 100% related to athletics or academics. I get its a free semester but why do a ton of hard work for a semester when you know that you will not be returning. Better to rip the bandaid off IMO. as for Wilbar he was just not a good fit for the team. He and certain players who were getting more min clashed heavily which lead to his mid-year departure as well. My guess is as good as urs on where he is right now

Great insights, 2020. Keep posting.
I hope Kit Hughes does end of season interviews with the entire team and managers about the season that was.

College #4 for Wilbar-unbelievable . He may end up having to pay tuition and walk on somewhere.
