2018-2019 Grad & Sitout Transfer Thread
-
Malachi Flynn leaving Washington St. Was one of the best players in the Pac-12 nobody heard of playing at lowly Washington St. Imagine he’ll be one of the most sought after transfers. Sit 1 to play 2
-
@JayHawkFanToo He went on visits and looked in to it. But it looked like teams didn’t like his chances and wanted a 2 year commitment. His camp apparently didn’t think that was something they could promise and so it never ended up getting done.
Looking at it now, I think he would have gotten cleared by the NCAA. I also think he did the smart thing by skipping school. He will be a borderline lottery pick still, it looks like. I think we will start to see this happen more often if he really does crack the 1st round after not playing a second of CBB.

The decision was not up to Mitchell Robinson.

@BShark 6’10" & 200 lbs! Stork?

More Power 5 transfer casualties. Pretty much Monday thru Friday from now til summer.
Evan Boudreaux after Mack leaving Xavier has switched to Purdue
Maryland’s Dion Wiley. Fell out of favor with Turgeon
David Nickleberry of Memphis. Regime change casualty
James Banks of Texas. That was expected a long time ago with Texas loading up on bigs.
Harrison Henderson from USC. Saw the writing on the wall with Brooks a Top 100 prospect rejoining the fold

Ah yeah, I was on the Maryland board the other day and they said they expected some attrition among their reserves.
I mentioned in another thread made about the UT transfers that it makes sense and there should be at least one more transfer out of UT.

Auburn freshman Davion Mitchell is transferring, source told ESPN.
Former ESPN 100 prospect, averaged 3.7 points this season. 0 replies 0 retweets 0 likes

Oh wow Mitchell is really good. Kind of in a position though at Auburn where he would have had a lot of competition. Purifoy comes back from suspension and they have a transfer from VCU they are really high on in Doughty
-
More guys…
Khadim Gueye of South Carolina. Martin’s annual get outta here kids.
Gabe Grant from Houston.
The starting backcourt from Alabany- Nichols and Cremo are both out. Cremo can really shoot it.
-
@BeddieKU23 Apparently the Albany guards are grad transfers. I’d be interested in Cremo if no Vick or Langford.
-
But it would probably be hard to sell a grad transfer to come into that minutes slog. Even if I think a good grad transfer would be firmly ahead of Moore and Cunliffe.

Cremo isn’t good enough to play here but I agree its a hard sell with the stacked roster we got. I live 1 hr from Albany and he’s a really good shooter but will be best at a lower level D-1 school. Surprised he left them. Albany had high hopes coming into the season and really underachieved from their normal
-
@BeddieKU23 Looks like Maryland and Syracuse are after him.
I just want Langford.

Me too. Interesting he’s getting that kind of looks
-
I think it’s a product of the 2018 class not being very good. Programs don’t want to be tied to a player they don’t love just because they have to fill a hole. Better to go after the better 2019 kids with open scholarships.
-
@BShark I would love a Canyon Barry type to come in though. Someone just trying to actually go to school but happens to be a very solid good player.
-
Norm’s son Justin is transferring from Toledo after 1 year…
Keith Smith leaving Oregon. Never got it going there as a former Top 100 kid
Robert Cartwright leaving Stanford. To be Senior guard never felt like a fit there.
CJ Keyser leaving Wichita St. Wichita imploding, down to 3 guys from last years team
-
@BeddieKU23 This was his second year there. Not playing much. He probably needs to go down a level.
-
Stanford needed space for Jordan Brown too, I think that’s a factor there.
-
Looks like the perfect storm at Wichita State is coming to an end and a cycle of mediocrity looms in the horizon.

I don’t see anyway around it honestly unless he fills those 3 spots available with some grad transfer studs or gets lucky on some spring commit.
McDuffie, Jones & Reaves are at least 3 starters. They need help that’s for sure. Something feels odd here, almost like he’s looking for a way out
-
Their class is decent. To me Marsha is like Huggins at this point. I trust that the low ranked guys they get can play better than most think.

CJ Jones and Darious Hall leaving Arkansas. Neither moves the needle much.
-
Albany grad transfer Joe Cremo told ESPN that Chris Holtmann, Greg McDermott, Shaka Smart, Pat Chambers and Steve Wojciechowski will also be visiting him in Albany the next few days.

Wow but both would have started this season. Arkansas about to take a big step back from wherever that was
-
Transfer list approaching 400 names. Crazy
-
@BeddieKU23 Pretty ridiculous tbh. And yeah lots of kids transferring that would have started, I don’t get it in most cases. With the grad transfers I totally get it though.
-
We are not even close to where the final number will be. Last season over 700 players transferred and according to the NCAA.…about 40% of all MBB players who enter Division I directly out of high school depart their initial school by the end of their sophomore year.
I would expect about 800 players to transfer this year.
-
With the way things are in D1 now, if you aren’t playing by your sophomore season, chances are you never see the floor, so kids are more apt to move. Once you have been in the program a couple of years, the staff has decided who you are within that program. They have determined whether or not they think you can play, so if they don’t think that, they won’t play you.
Plus, at the lower levels, coaching volatility is kind of high, so the guy that recruited you may be on his way out due to lack of success, too much success, retirement, etc.
Because sports takes up so much time at the collegiate level, its hard to stick somewhere when you’re not playing and could play somewhere else. Look at the guys that have left KU - most went on to play elsewhere, many times starting and even starring at a different school. Hard to justify sitting and watching when you’re good enough to play somewhere else.
-
Matt Mooney is potentially grad transferring from South Dakota. Says he might still stay. Their coach left for another job this offseason.
18.7/4/3/2 this season (similar numbers the previous season) with decent advanced stats as well. 36% trey gun.
-
Duke has contacted the Albany kid Cremo. Moooovin on up.

Well they do need players don’t don’t stand 6’7 and do the same things. lol
Cremo getting a lot of attention. He can shoot it and he’s a quality player. Going from America East ball to the ACC would be a stretch though. I think he’s a better fit somewhere in the middle level wise.
-
Zach Hankins, D-2 Player of the Year signs with Xavier as Grad Transfer. Big dude, 6’11.
-
Some recent transfer movement
Oklahoma signs Miles Reynolds, a grad transfer from Pacific. 6’2 averaged 13 ppg. Not much of an outside shooter but lived at the FT a lot. Kruger found his PG for a year.
Coveted Evansville transfer Ryan Taylor lands at Northwestern.
Colorado St’s leading scorer Prentiss Nixon transferring. Sit 1 to play 1 type. Averaged 16 ppg, volume scorer
Coveted Florida St transfer CJ Walker lands closer to home at Ohio St. Good fit for him. Sit 1 to play 2.
Albany transfer David Nichols lands at Florida St. Out with Walker, in with Nichols
Columbia grad-transfer Kyle Castlin 10 pgg lands at Xavier. 2nd transfer to land their since Chris Mack left
-
And there it. SKJ transferring from Kentucky. Sit one to play 2. I actually expect one more post to leave out of that group. Could be anyone at this point. But 5 is still a lot of mouths to feed.
-
Lol UK fans losing it on each other right now too.

Well, you called it. Props.

I would bet he ends up at UVA.

Derp.
-
UVA would be scary with a rim protector like SKJ in Bennett’s system. They may hold a team under 25.
-
UVA would make a lot of sense for him.
-
@justanotherfan Well that was where he originally committed, and I have already read rumors actually. But I agree, not sure they have had a post athlete like him yet.
-
I do remember him originally committing there. I can’t remember anyone like that since Bennett got there, which could vault SKJ into the NBA if he’s a lockdown rim protector for a year at UVA. I imagine a lot of ACC teams with that sinking feeling of being suffocated on the perimeter and funneled hopelessly into the teeth of a shotblocker. Rinse and repeat.

Texas Tech lands St Johns grad transfer Tariq Owens. Going to be a pain to deal with in the Big-12. Owens avg’d 8ppg, 5boards, almost 3 blocks per
Kris Martin who a few weeks ago decided to transfer from Colorado St to OU has decided to stay. Wonder if he wasn’t going to be ruled eligible immediately…
-
Michael Carter the 3rd transferring from Washington.
Maciej Bender of West Virginia transferring.

TIME TO CHECK IN ON THE MARYLAND BOARD SINCE THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM LOCKED UP IF BRUNO DECLARED.

Oh some very sensible threads.
Fire
Turgeon Now!This site is depressing!!!
What does Turge have to sell to recruits?
Sniffing and Wiffing
Negative recruiting and message boards
-
"selling him on their player development ability and their focus on winning, promoting the isolation of Lubbock – the lack of distractions from basketball – as a plus. "
Lol.

Owens old coach at Tennessee (his first stop) is in Lubbock. But I guess their water source really needs a change the way they react to things
