Grad. Transfer PF Options

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Article states that all Horizon League schools and Marquette are on the no-transfer list.  One of the players speculated it might be because we are in talks to play them.

That said, Springs is a guy I wouldn't mind adding, though it sounds like he and Johnson (high school teammates too) might be a package deal

I may be wrong, but I don't think coaches can restrict graduate transfers.

I would bet you're correct here. Can't imagine that withstanding NCAA scrutiny if a student wanted to enroll in a Master's Program the at the new school that the first school didn't offer.

Are they really upset about Lovell?  It was two years ago and Lovell has done a lot to reach out to UWM as President at MU.

This is all about basketball in Milwaukee and UWM's perceived standing.  That's it.

I think it's UWM's standing and feeling like the little brother in the city despite having Milwaukee in their name and a larger student base. I think us poaching Lovell, pretty much at the whim of Shaka Smart, still irks them because we were essentially able to use them as a farm club.

That said, I don't believe they can restrict grad transfers, so I almost want Marquette to go for Springs just to spite Milwaukee

Florida A&M grad transfer Malcolm Bernard has gotten his release. Finally. Averaged 14 points, 7 boards, 4 assists this past season.

http://www.todaysu.com/u-news/florida-am-f-malcolm-bernard-to-transfer/

Bernard, a 6’5”, 195-pound versatile forward from Middleburg, Florida is coming off a 2015-16 season in which he averaged 14.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, which were all team-highs. That across-the-board production will likely make him a wanted commodity among coaches.

Already transferred from Charleston Southern to FAMU after two years because he didn't get a lot of minutes or produce.  Not terribly effective outside of the MEAC, which is an awful conference.

Danny Manning & Wake Forest are interested in him.  Will be interesting to see if he actually gets any high major offers.

Stan Johnson just started following Malcolm Bernard

Really don't know what to make of Bernard. He has really poor efficiency, which is usually where I start when looking at a player, though he was an inefficient player on a team of inefficient players, so I'm not sure if he might just be a product of their system. He was also fairly inefficient at Charleston Southern in his two years there and they were far more efficient as an offense, so he could be the problem.

However, he does do everything we need a guy to do. Rebounds well, good passer, and can hit the occasional three. Could see worse options out there, but I have a feeling there will also be better ones.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

There are already 8 graduate transfers I would take before Malcolm Bernard. And it is still very early in the graduate transfer process. He put up great numbers but his efficiency is low, he is too small, and players from the MEAC don't do well when transferring to a high major.

Not a PF, but...

Michigan’s Spike Albrecht told ESPN he was granted his release today and plans to play next season elsewhere as a grad transfer.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

He's not a Power Forward and his stats are not good, but Sam Cassell Jr. will be graduating UConn and transferring.

[BM1090]

More of a wing, but would give us more shooting

USC’s Katin Reinhardt told ESPN he will graduate and transfer. One year left and will play immediately. Averaged 11.4 points last year.

I think Marquette was one of his finalists coming out of high school.

He was. But he did not do well at UConn. I would be surprised if pursued.

[brewcity77]

That was also a different coaching staff. I imagine most guys that had us as finalists under Buzz wouldn't necessarily have any interest now. May indicate they will consider Va Tech, though.

[jsglow]

This has become a booming industry.

Realize he wasn't a power forward.  Went a little OT...

SG Jimmy Whitt transferring from Arkansas. Wojo recruited last year.

Anthony Livingston, 6-8 230 PF from Arkansas state. 15 pts 9 rebs.

Aaand he punched a cop last May.

[vogue65]

Looks like slim pickings to me.

SG Jimmy Whitt transferring from Arkansas. Wojo recruited last year.

I thought that kid had some ability. We should look at him.
