2018-2019 Grad & Sitout Transfer Thread
-
@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.

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
-
@BeddieKU23 hmmmm, Bender? - -he was getting some quality minutes interesting.

If Konate returns he wasn’t going to start. I think the other forward spot is full too. Writing on the Wall…
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah that’s the real reason but you can’t say that. Had to laugh at player development though. I’m sure Owens followed Beard’s work at McMurry University and Angelo State closely.
-
@BeddieKU23 @jayballer73 They also added Derek Culver who is immediately better than him.
-
@BShark the fact that they have a 27 page thread on firing Turgeon cracks me up.
Not to mention how dellusional they are about who they could hire. Talking about Mike White, Jay Wright, Tony Bennett lol. That job is no better than any other P5 job for the most part. They must really think they are a Blue Blood type

They really want to be. The whole Dotson & Silvio recruitments really brought out how badly they want acceptance. some other fan bases we know get like that too
-
“Tariq Owens said role in offense was a factor, but biggest thing for him was wanting to win. Feels better chance for that at Texas Tech.”
That tweet went over very well on their board.

I know Scouts are impressed with him. If he gets a combine invite he might stay in. Some scouts have said Jordan Bell going 2nd round and getting a big contract from the Warriors helps him. He’s in the same mold.
I hope he leaves, can’t stand him

He was supposed to be already at West Virginia but he flunked a class and had to go to Brewster for a year. He was really good for them
-
@BeddieKU23 They had a thread just last week over Dotson’s comments at the McDAA. The actual hatred for him and his family was sickening.
@jayballer73 He was in last year’s recruiting class but didn’t qualify academically so he took a prep year at Brewster.

The internet is not a good place sometimes. Maryland’s board is living proof
-
Even if Konate leaves Bender would have West, Ahmad, Harris and likely Culver in front of him. Likely wasn’t going to get any more pt this year than last.
-
@BShark Maybe - but West and Harris are different position players then Bender aren’t they?
-
They also have a Juco Center coming in. Logan Routt played for them last year too, sometimes getting more minutes then Bender
-
@jayballer73 In Huggy’s “system” I don’t see any big differences in the two post spots.
-
Calipari next year: We’re so young! Nevermind that we recruit over our older players.
-
I would be shocked to see Quade stay at this point.
-
@Kcmatt7 Me too - - Quade is GONE - I think100%
-
So if Vanderbilt and Washington leave and Green transfers its a team of 8 lol

So young!
There are rumors Vanderbilt might take a medical redshirt next season. Dunno if transferring or will stay at UK.

Wow I hadn’t seen those. Good info.
-
At this point, I don’t see Vanderbilt staying to come off of the bench again. He is either going pro or transferring imo. Green as well. UK fans are all happy right now, talking about depth. Its all about to leave lol.
I am glad that Bill doesn’t recruit this exact same way. This would absolutely be frustrating and tiresome. They will be adding players probably through June at this point.
-
@Kcmatt7 It’s like they weren’t paying attention when SKJ transferred. You don’t just add top 20 players and have older former top 20 players saying yippee I’m going to the bench.
-
@BShark Just basically bringing in another Shai, but it is going to cost them their best shooting guard from last year. I think this could turn into a nightmare for them honestly. We can only hope lol.
