...has re-entered the Transfer Portal. Yes, and 3 others from UNCW along with him....

The grass is always... UNCW should at least be pleased that he did not wait as long as he did at HC.(April 22)

Not shocked by that. At least we know it was not just HC. With the strange year we have had, will he be eligible next season...and how many years of eligibility will he have?

three, the way I see it - the portal will be flooded because transfers will not have to sit out in 21-22 - lots of player movement for sure and it's not always the best move for many.

That would seem to make him very attractive - two years of D1 experience, solid performance in each of those seasons and three years of eligibility remaining. Even with the many transfers who may flood the field, he would seem to be one who could stand out.

Verbal Commits shows almost 40 kids have entered the portal in the last 22 hours. Looks like updates are coming by the minute. The floodgates have opened.

With the mass uncertainty of which underclassmen will stay a 5th year, many schools may be reluctant to commit 2-3 scholarship years.

OK, in a fantasy world (since I have no direct knowledge that this could even be a remote possibility), what if JP wanted to come back to HC as a sophomore with three years of eligibility remaining. Do you think that HC would take him back? Just curious.

So, after he lands somewhere, it will be 2 high schools (technically 3 because he played varsity ball as an 8th grader at Murdock (Winchendon's public HS) and 3 colleges.
That makes him the poster child for what's wrong with sports these days.
And this is a young man that has 0% chance to play in the NBA.

I doubt he's interested in coming back to HC, but I think it should be a hard no if he does.

Think you're going to have to be careful with multi year transfers, next year is the only year you can exceed the scholarship limit have to be back in compliance the following year. Think 5 year players will be few and far between.

Does this tell us everything we need to know? I am not sure what you mean. Everyithing we need to know about what: transfer portal, rules for the Covid season, JP himself...or some other topic? Actions have consequences. IMHO, JP is going to learn that. He may move up to a bigger or better program, but he might also not do as well as he thinks in his next move. I wonder what coach might take a chance on him with his track record for jumping ship? Iona?

Yes, but he gives his all to the team he has the current one year lease with. At least he did at Holy Cross from what I could see. His transfer from HC was unusual because I believe due to Covid he never actually visited the UNCW campus before making his decision. I don't think Joe broke any rules unless he was one of the freshman benched for part of one game for something unknown. If I was a low/mid major coach I would sign him. At Holy Cross he could replace some of Butler's production. One thing his entrance into the portal may say is that Holy Cross stacks up pretty well against other colleges but sometimes people need to learn that in their own time.

I wonder what coach might take a chance on him with his track record for jumping ship? Iona? Concerning your opening paragraph, I was wondering the same thing. As far as the second goes, perhaps JP will find that 2 portal forays in what, 10 months, could lead to many coaches not being interested. Of course all it will take is one. I do hope things work out for JP.

Watched him in the William and Mary game. He is no different than he was last year in terms of style. He can play but he is a 6’4 1/2 version of Gates in style, a bit quicker first step, but Gates has better range and a bit stronger.
He will find a new home but he is a tweener {3/4) as a low/mid major player. Will require the right coach and style of play to be successful, but this was a free year for him and at this point who knows?

If it's the latter and they pass soon, perhaps this would be considered his first move under the new rules.
