Did Ball De-Committ?

*23*

Assistant coach
Just curious because the McCaffery announcement states:
"McCaffery is the third member of Richmond's 2026 transfer class, joining Jamie Kaiser Jr. and Amon Dörries."

My first assumption is that our NAIA level basketball staff and Jabba the Hardt led staff pooped their pants again.

But it would make sense if he did back out due to another playe same size position?????

I'll assume its just the normal error filled PR squad at work here.
 
Also, does not look like Ball announcement on the official site, though sometimes hard to tell from my phone.
 
No mention of a de-commit anywhere but I also couldn’t find the transfer announcement on richmondspiders.com when the other three are all on there.

Strange.
 
And I was just starting to think we may be ok on our depth inside. As of now low athleticism inside. Really like Mccaffery upside, but not sure how he will defend and rebound? And we know Dorries is not strong in those areas.

Happy Wednesday!!
 
While I wouldn’t past our marketing team to miss this or make a mistake, I think the most likely explanation is that while Ball announced via social media his commitment, he has not officially signed anything yet.

Now, why he didn’t sign anything when the previous transfers signed later the same day it was announced they were coming here, I don’t know. Perhaps he got another offer last minute and wanted to see the campus and then he saw Jack signed here. Who knows.
 
That is one theory I have: He knew how wide open the PF situation was, and then we signed a pedigreed former top 100 player and paused.
