With a new season comes a new transfer portal.
Hopefully, Miami will not be too active in the portal after this season.

As far as I currently know, Paul Atkinson Jr is still planning to graduate and transfer in the Spring.

Hopefully they will be. We've always done extremely well with transfers.

Agree. FAR better than we've done with recruiting top players straight out of high school. One good thing is you know more of what you're getting -- seeing a kid at a higher level of competition.

Yale graduate transfer Paul Atkinson Jr. remains in touch with a number of high-major schools and plans to cut his list sometime after the beginning of the season on Wednesday.
Atkinson told ZAGSBLOG he remains in regular touch with N.C. State, Notre Dame, Miami, Stanford, Texas, Cincinnati, Ohio State, Georgia, Kansas, SMU, Xavier and Virginia Tech.
“I’m going to watch the schools play this season for a week or two and then probably cut down my list,” he said.
The 6-foot-10 West Palm Beach, Fla., native averaged 17.6 points and 7.3 rebounds last season when he was the Ivy League Co-Player of the Year.
Atkinson scored in double-figures every game last season after setting school records in single-season, field-goal percentage as a first year and sophomore. He tested the NBA Draft waters but opted to return to school.

That is some positive news.

Waiver making transfers immediately eligible to be approved

The waiver recommendation, first put forth by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, is expected to pass on Wednesday.
theathletic.com theathletic.com

Some more credible articles.

From the Athletic:

"The Division I Council is expected to approve a blanket waiver on Wednesday that would allow all players currently on rosters to be immediately eligible for the 2020-21 men’s and women’s basketball season, multiple sources told The Athletic.

The waiver would allow transfers who are sitting out this season due to NCAA rules to be immediately eligible for their new teams as long as they were enrolled full-time in the fall 2020 semester and this is the first time they have transferred from a four-year institution. The waiver recommendation was first put forth by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association and is supported by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

The waiver recommendation centers on two key points: 1) That all athletes who are playing during the 2020-21 season have already been granted an additional season of competition; and 2) the availability of transfer athletes could help teams whose rosters may be depleted due to COVID-19 positive tests and/or contact tracing. It may help more games get played."

Wish we had picked up another big that would sit a year, would be nice to get a boost there as well. Guard play should be crazy though.
 
The NCAA was giving out waivers to pretty much anyone who asked for one, so idk why they didn't just do that in the first place, but w/e, at least we'll have another healthy guard.

Probably something to do with extended eligibility and also them not necessarily needing him this season as much as next season.
