2018-2019 Grad & Sitout Transfer Thread
-
Dear lord State fans are the most paranoid out there. The Felton thing was open and shut. The university did its work and gave him the boot. Felton will likely land at a JuCo or some no name program desperate for any talent. No program should go near him. Kid is a real piece of work.
-
South Carolina may bite. Who knows though.
-
@FarmerJayhawk We are talking about a fan base that started an investigation into UNC which led to the NCAA investigation XD.
-
@BeddieKU23 I can’t see Martin adding him. He took Bowen only after satisfying himself the kid had no part in the Louisville scam. A heckuva lot harder to find innocence in Felton.
-
@mayjay South Carolina has expressed interest.
-
@BShark oh I get that. I just live among them. Their little bro complex makes KSU’s look like a mild disagreement.
-
@mayjay yeah, South Carolina won’t. Or probably any legit program. Once they find out what he did, the publicity just isn’t worth it. Remember all the flack Baylor got for admitting the rapist from Boise?
-
@FarmerJayhawk This is fair maybe a lot of the programs that reached out already don’t know the full story.
-
So he takes a JUCO year. Then he says he’s changed and someone takes a chance on him… Happens all the time
-
Huggins and Martin have in the past taken in shall we say “wayward” players, so I would not be surprised if he ends up at one of those two schools.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Martin is now more of a crusader than he used to be. He would take him in if he thought he could reach him and reform him, but not just because he wants a good player.
-
I agree. I am a big fan of Martin the person first and then the coach.

Baylor’s Tyson Jolly will transfer
Wichita St incoming PG Alex Lomax has been released from his LOI. Will follow Penny to Memphis
Iowa’s Brady Ellingson will be a grad transfer.
Cal’s Don Coleman will transfer- Was their leading scorer. Had 35 in a game against Wichita St earlier this year.
OU after Maine grad transfer Aaron Calixte. Averaged 16 pts a game on a terrible team
-
West Virginia’s D’Angelo Hunter will transfer. Odd timing seems how they are still playing. Played as recently as the Big-12 championship game

Sounds like he was getting forced out. Then probably became a distraction and so Bob told him to move along early.

Ouch, that was a lot of tweets. Explains the early exit. Not a good look for either side regardless
-
Yikes.

JUST SHOCKING. Good of WSU to let him go though. That will sting, I think he was going to be a good one for them.
OU needs all the help they can get.
-
NC St big man Yurtseven has been released from the team and will go overseas it looks
-
@BeddieKU23 WOW Alex was the stud on Wichita States recruiting. - -Big loss for them , but you saw that coming with Penny at Memphis.
I think he is going to have a lot of following from the local Memphis kids and quite possibly getting them to stay at home - that’s ok - if the two Lawson’s turn out for us like we hope - - - -I’m good with that - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
It was nice of Greg to let him go play for his coach and mentor without any issues.
-
@BeddieKU23 I’m actually somewhat surprised by it. Still dislike Greggggg though.

Must have been having a bottle with slow gin lynn while he talked to him. It is surprising especially since he’ll end up in the same conference playing them every year.
-
@BeddieKU23 Its such bad publicity now though to restrict where players can transfer. Just not worth it.
-
Wake Forest loses its 4th player due to transfer. This one is a big one as Keyshawn Woods will graduate and transfer. Averaged 12 ppg this season.
-
The coaching seat at Wake Forest is getting very hot.

I do not know how Danny still has a job tbh. He took such a big step back this season that I can’t see him keeping his job unless he wins 20 games next year.
-
Looks like Penny will have Memphis up and running pretty quickly. There’s enough talent from within the city that if he can keep those kids at home, he can have a legit program in just a couple of years.
As for Wake Forest, Manning is in some trouble there. Wake is such a tough job. NC State is a tough job, but Wake is in an even tougher position. It’s the only major program in the state without any national titles (everyone else has at least two), and its always recruiting from a disadvantage. I’m not sure how to build a consistent winner there, particularly with UVA also strong. I hope Manning can hold out, but things aren’t looking good.
-
Funny when you look back at it. Fired Dino Gaudio after a 20 win season. Haven’t bee able to get back to that mark sense. 8 years. He had 25 conference wins in 3 seasons. Danny and Jeff have 37 wins combined over 8 seasons. Just awful.
Basically went the KU football route. Get rid of a coach that is performing about as well as you could reasonably expect on the field at your particular program, because the AD just wanted them to be gone. Follow that up with a splashy hire. Follow that up with a splashier hire. Watch you program go down in flames.
-
Wake boards are literally compiling a list of Mannings replacements for after next year already lol.
-
There is a 434 page topic labled “Danny Manning Credibility Watch”
Good lord do they want him gone…
-
@Kcmatt7 Wake’s approach to trying to get better is sorta like living in the middle of a desert and moving to a new house every couple years because you can’t grow a nice lawn.
-
Not surprising but Jacob Young transferring from Texas. Talk about a kid mishandled by Shaka, he’s living proof. Will end up somewhere and be good his final 2 years.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if Eric Davis wasn’t on the team next year either. He was never re-instated after his name popped up with Andy Miller…
-
Transfer list 200+ and we haven’t even hit April!
-
@BeddieKU23 Is Yurtseven a take if he wants to come here?
-
Joseph Chartouny of Fordham transfering and will be immediately eligible. Only reason mentioning him is because he led the nation in steals per game and total steals. Also averaged 12 ppg, 5 boards, 5 assists Sounds like he’s a thief expert and has a stat sheet stuffing type ability
-
Kcmatt7 said:

Going overseas to play professionally.
So to answer your question I don’t think he’ll be a take for anyone
-
@BeddieKU23 Is that official yet? From what I’ve read, he may consider transferring as well.
-
I don’t believe KU has any room left, particularly bigs which is ironic given the current situation. Of course this assumes Doke is back which at this time seems likely given that his name is not in any NBA draft projections yet.
The extension of Manning’s contract was very controversial at the time and many if not most fans thought he should show some results beforehand. Anything short of a wining Conference record next season and he is likely gone.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Well that contract makes me think it will be hard to fire him actually.
I actually think we have a spot left though. I don’t see Cunliffe coming back at this point. And I believe Newman will also be leaving.
That would open up one scholarship. Two years from now, I don’t expect Doke or Dedric to be on the roster, so there would be a fight for PT at the C position.
But it probably is a moot point. i’m sure he goes overseas.
-
Iowa State, Oklahoma, Baylor and TCU should all be considering the transfer route to get some help for next year with a grad transfer. The Big 12 as a whole could get some decent reinforcements via transfer for next season. The Big 12 really needs another nationally strong contender to help validate the conference.
-
Jacob Young is leaving Texas. Ouch Shaka.
-
Yeah he might have to explore his options here if he doesn’t find a good option overseas. I would hope if we have room for someone it will be looking towards the future. I am hoping Langford joins the frey for next yr.
He was much improved this yr and certainly could be expected to be even better if he joined a school like KU.

Looking at the rosters at the moment Baylor looks like the team in desperate need of talent. They need 2-3 impact players on the perimeter. Lindsey & McClure are not starter material in my opinion and they have nothing else besides an incoming juco player.
I have no idea what’s going on with Makai Mason, the once darling of Yale who played one game this year but has had issues recovering from an injury he suffered nearly two years ago. He reportedly said he’d transfer to Baylor a while back as a grad transfer as the Ivy league doesn’t allow post grad players to play. They are also after a Memphis area PG in Tyler Harris. They definitely need an influx of talent.
I could see Iowa St going after a transfer big to play immediately. Right now they have Lard (if he stays), Solomon Young, Nebraska transfer Jacobsen and incoming freshman with long-term potential Conditt . They look set on the perimeter with 7 guys as long as Wigginton doesn’t stay in the draft.
TCU is actually one over on scholarships at the moment. A deep team potentially that just has to figure out who’s their starting 5 man. They have about 5 options to choose from. Dixon has that program poised for another step forward.
OU is definitely on the hunt for perimeter transfers. They are in the running for Calixte from Maine so far. If no one else leaves they have 1 to give. I think we see some roster movement though. Wouldn’t be surprised if Freeman or Doolittle went somewhere else. They have too many guys playing the same position. Unless that nucleus gets a lot better in the absence of Young OU is poised for a big step back regardless of talent they add.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Oklahoma St went after grad transfers with a few spots available. A post player would seem to be the biggest need. They had success with Smith this past year going that route.
If Zhaire Smith goes pro I think Texas Tech goes after immediate post talent. They have a need for at least two post players.
-
@BeddieKU23 Where would Antonio McDyess errr Lard be going?
I think that front court would be enough btw.

I don’t know. ISU board has put out some chatter he doesn’t like school, part of the reason it took him a 1 1/2 years to play in the first place. He can certainly up his pro potential coming back. He’d be a dominate post with more experience and development. Who knows who’s in his ear or what he thinks.

Wow that would be a huge blow for them. He’d be one of the best post players not in Lawrence in the league next year. I’d consider taking him over Wade because defense.
I saw Wigginton declared for the draft wow.

Weak draft for guards. I expect he’ll try and get info and get to the combine and then come back for one more year.
-
Isiah Brown of Northwestern transferring. Thought he’d be starting for them next season…
Jalen Dupree of Murray St leaving. 6’9 240 Soph averaged 5 and 4. Not KU level but maybe another mid-major level good.
Entire Pitt team is gone.
Harry Froling of Marquette leaving. 6’11 to be Jr.
Tarik Owens of St Johns. Bouncy 6’11 forward is eligible to play immediately…
-
Tubby Smith might be going to High Point. Interesting that the school has denied the transfer of their star player (before his hiring). Tubby just was ranting about transfers last month. Some irony…
