2018-2019 Grad & Sitout Transfer Thread
-
I would think Syracuse would be his go to. Make up for his original mistake like Newman did. Funny thing to me, he went to UK knowing he was going to be a multi-year player there. But I don’t think he expected to be over-recruited.
48 hours ago, I thought UK looked like a top 5 team with depth and some experience. Now, I think they look like a 10 loss team again. They are now at a point where, for every new 5 star they take, they will be losing one with experience. Just seems like a poor trade.
- SGA > Hagans
- Sophomore Green > Quickley
- Knox > KJ
- PJ = PJ
- EJ = Junior SKJ
Don’t see where they improved this offseason.
-
He should have just went to Syracuse in the first place tbh.
-
6’3 Charles Barkley clone DeSean Murray leaving Auburn to transfer or go pro. Averaged 10 and 6 a game. Big big loss for them
-
There are far too many transfers. It really is a problem. Mainly because I can’t go through the list and figure out if any of them are any good because there are too many names.
-
ESPN used to keep a list and have about 15-20 that they basically said were worth taking. I would think they couldn’t even keep up with the list this year it has been so absurd.

I’d be interested.

OU was interested but they went with the Pacific Grad instead. Calixte isn’t KU material IMO. Played on a horrid team. These type of players are being overvalued a bit

Not impressed with his stats. Put up good assists and points, but not efficiently.
-
I’m sure they will have a list soon. Goodman usually keeps on it. Verbal Commits has the list at 450 and climbing. And that’s just the official confirmed released players
-
-
@BeddieKU23 Don’t worry, I’m on it lol. I got nothing going on.

One of the top defensive players in the country. Lead the nation in steals I believe. Some P5 programs after him
-
@BeddieKU23 Louisville for sure. I guess I would take if that is the case. I didn’t realize that.
-
Keyshawn Woods who left Manning wouldn’t be a bad option. He can shoot and would give the team a veteran guard
-
https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/christian-cunningham-1.html
Meh. But serviceable if needed.
-
@BeddieKU23 OH. Yes. Him. Please.
-
https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/nat-dixon-1.html
Of my list so far, probably one of the better defenders. By that, I mean his Defensive box minus isn’t like -5 lol.

If we wanted a stretch big man.

Looking at UNLV, Nevada and the Pac-12

WOULD TAKE FO SHO.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/matt-mooney-1.html
Oh yes. Absolutely would. Maybe my favorite so far. Definitely top two with Woods.
-
Mooney has big time attention. Michigan, UConn, Texas Tech, Oregon, Creighton, Indiana, Iowa St, TCU among others
And it looks like he’s already picked out his visit spots. KU might be involved too late if they did reach out

I think I mentioned him before. KU offered out of HS.

Could be a great fit given that he played for Dooles already for 3 years.

Agree. Not much of a shot. Also someone with that kind of interest isn’t coming to be in a deep guard rotation.
-
-
@BeddieKU23 If it isn’t too late, KU needs to reach out. Will be a good get for whoever does land him. Plays at both ends of the floor.
-
https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/femi-olujobi-1.html
Stretch 4. Meh.
-
https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/trey-porter-1.html
Would take if we weren’t so stacked in the post already.

OU nabbed him to run point
-
Well that is the list. I like Woods and Johnson and that is about it tbh.

Woods is visiting Ohio St this weekend. I don’t see him leaving without committing.
Johnson is interested in Florida. There might be some movement there
-
So basically I don’t want a grad transfer lol. Not if these are the choices at least.
-
I understand there might be a few more players reclassifying from 2019 to 2018. Any chance there is a potential diamond in the rough among them?
-
Will be interesting to see if any strong KU targets do that.
-
@BShark I’m really holding out hope for Stanley. There were rumors in the winter but there hasn’t been a lot since. But when these things happen, they tend to happen quickly, like Bagley last year. Haven’t heard anyone else really considering it.
-
Definitely could happen. Although the ones that reclassify tend to be highly ranked and are not going to be under the radar
-
Lots of weekend action
Davion Mitchell PG transfer from Auburn to Baylor. Sit 1 to play 3. He’s good.
Tarin Smith grad transfer from Duquesne to Uconn.
Former KU target Mark Smith transfers to Missouri. Eww
Anthony Mack from Wyoming to Miami. Sit 1 to play 3
Houston Baptist transfer David Caraher to St Johns. Was highly sought after.
Ibi Watson transferring from Michigan.
-
Not really seeing where KU has reached out to anyone.

Me either. I don’t know what to think of that. Seems they really want to wait out this Romeo deal before figuring it out. And to be honest nothing that’s been available has really been a fit or the type of player that can move the needle for this team.

I think the FGCU player would be a top 4 rotation guard for us.
That said usually if the staff doesn’t feel great about a recruitment we will see things where KU is involved with other recruits or transfer targets. So at the very least I would say the staff thinks they have a good shot at Romeo.
-
@BShark That’s the way my crimson and blue tinted glasses read the tea leaves as well. Nothing from Romeo, but the staff isn’t bracing for a whiff either. Either they are happy with what’s already in the fold or they are confident on Romeo signing (or both).
-
Wonder if the Langford’s haven’t told the coaches yet. I don’t see Indiana or Vanderbilt active either with 2 spots open.

Vandy has been active. They are after Matthew Moyer- a transfer from Syracuse. I have seen them interested in a few others as well.
Indiana has kicked the tires on some grad transfers. They want Matt Mooney from South Dakota who made it official he was leaving them.
