2018 Grad Transfer Thread, Updated 4/19/2018

[brewcity77]

Not sure if any of them are grad transfers, but this is eye-opening:

Jeff Goodman

@GoodmanESPN

Eight Pittsburgh men’s basketball players will receive their release to transfer elsewhere today, sources told ESPN. Story coming.

I guess it'll be a clean start for the new coach?

Hmmm and people want wojo fired... do they not understand this is what would likely happen here? WOO ANOTHER 5 year rebuild!

So true.    We all love our blue and gold goggles.    And we think that what happens at other schools could never happen at MU.    So we are shocked, shocked when ..... a coaching change happens and it takes time to get a roster the way the new coach wants it..... 3 star freshmen come in and don't magically exceed their ranking and dominate from day 1..... that the coach can't just go out and get a star big at the snap of his fingers.... that 18-22 year old males aren't going to do stupid crap....  that a coach can't overcome having a roster of 9 players, 3 of whom are 3 star freshmen and 4 of whom are sophomores.....       
   If MU was stupid enough to fire Wojo this offseason, the next few years of MU basketball would be somewhere between Pitt and Depaul.

This.   

[jesmu84]

And they lost five kids to transfer last year. Nearly a complete roster turnover in 12 months. Yikes.

Yup.

Several posters here believe, however, that Pitt should be back in the NCAA and competing for conference championships within 1-3 years because rebuilds are not difficult

As long as the Pitt fans don't accept complacency it'll be an easy rebuild.  The most important thing is to ignore all the Millenials and their data and continue to tell stories about how great things used to be.  It's really not that difficult.

[oldwarrior81]

I must have missed all the data from the Millennials proving rebuilds should all be quick and painless.

[PGsHeroes32]

Elmore please

[Silkk the Shaka]

Elmore please

I'd definitely take him, but try not to draw any major conculsions from this game. Wichita St.'s defense is almsot as bad as ours.

Guy is nice. Except his free throw shooting today.

Hopefully he would play even more of a point role for a team like us.

He's like a 6ft 3 Rowsey. 

Is Frankamp like 32 years old?

Nice

Elmore please

Elmore is legit. But looks like all major contributors from his team return next season....not sure he’ll be looking to transfer.

But we can hope!

Only 22, but dude was balding at age 16.

Is there any reason he would be eligible immediately?  He is a Junior right now, played all 3 years, doesn't appear to have redshirted at all.

Spent all or a part of his freshman year at VMI but did not play. 

[wadesworld]

I would put the chances of Elmore playing in the Association next year infinitely higher than I would put the chances of Elmore playing at MU next year.

Our team is gonna be so good next season, it would be pretty much the same thing, my friend!

If the transferrable credits check out, I hope a Marquette staffer is present in Hutchinson, KS late Monday afternoon to watch a combo guard who has Milwaukee roots.

J.J. Rhymes?  I don’t know about his Milwaukee roots, but he looks like the most relevant player on their roster.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Hutchinson, KS hosts the NJCAA tournament.  March 19-24.

Danya Kingsby is the Milwaukee kid.  Plays for the College of Southern Idaho. Has asked Pitt for his release.

Kingsby is rated #26 by JUCO recruiting. His stats don't impress me that much: 12.9 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 4.0 apg, 0.8 spg, 0.1 bpg, 2.3 tpg, 54.4 eFG%. Haven't seen him play but I would expect a JUCO with those numbers to probably be a backup for us next season. Is there something about his game you like?
