I know it's a bit early to speculate on off-season moves, but I at least hope this kid would be on the radar. Anthony Lee, 5th year transfer would be eligble to play immediately and would provide instant depth in the front court, had a solid year with Temple.
http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24490060/temples-anthony-lee-transferring-elsewhere-for-final-season
can he play point-forward...
Would be very nice with him and Fischer...Burton. Maybe STjr or JA transfer...someone's probably leaving if history repeats.
Exactly what they need. Getting a guy like Lee would ease some of my fears going into next season.
Would love to see a kid like Anthony Lee in a Warrior uniform. We are currently overcommitted by one, so I don't see it. But you never know
Sounds like he'll be fielding offers from just about everyone

Lee considering Indiana, Illinois, Iowa State, and Marquette per Jeff Goodman
Ummm. Gardner, Otule, Jamil all gone.
Lee, 6ft 9, 230 lbs. who goes for 17 and 9 a game and is experienced.
That would be a nice fit.

I don't mind fighting the other teams on that list. Could be a huge get.
Wonder who gets "buzz-cut" if this goes through
I don't know what the hell is going on with STjr.
Lee offers the length I thought Buzz would be getting more often. Would be an awesome get.

Buzz should cut whomever he wants to make the team better, no idea of Harris will even be asked to come to MU in April. Who knows what he did to improve this year, should go to a JC for a year, MU needs players that can play now. Lee would bring them a great frontline, Taylor is really a big soft question mark.

Yeah I know and I really don't like to speculate on status of transfers. But to me, if you are able to add a quality player especially a big, I think it's a no-brainer. There would be plenty of playing time, might have to play center given lack of depth until Fischer would be eligble, but PT would be there.
A one year transfer experienced PG would be nice...
Amen to that.
I'd rather let our young point guards develop. Next year is full of youth.

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN 18h
Temple transfer Anthony Lee's list continues to expand. He's heard from Louisville, Ohio State, Florida, FSU, USC, Miami, Pitt, NC State.
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN 18h
Lee (cont'd): in addition to the ones I already mentioned: Iowa State, Illinois, Marquette, Indiana.
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN 17h
No hotter commodity these days in college hoops than productive 5th-year transfer. Especially big man. Temple's Anthony Lee finding out now.
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN 17h
More schools for Temple transfer Anthony Lee -- Maryland, Iowa, Butler, Ole Miss, St Johns, Providence, Seton Hall, Arizona.
That's a lot of heavy hitters. I'll assume this is Tarrik Black all over again, and we won't be seeing him at MU. Moving on.
Just a gut feeling, but I would think one of the other schools who is looking at him will have a scholarship open up before MU does.
I would like to see him transfer to MU, but I already am worried about who will not be here next year. Unfortunately, the players I'd like to see not here are the ones least likely to leave in my opinion. It makes no sense for either Juan Anderson or Derrick Wilson to leave at this point in their career. Unfortunately I think the players most likely to transfer are from the trio of Du. Wilson, Johnson, and Dawson or from the incoming freshman class. I pefer to have all those players at Marquette. There is not a single one I am comfortable seeing go at this point. However, we know right now that at least one will not be at MU and if Anthony Lee comes that will be two at a minimum.
I do not know how good Harris is, but a player that has proven his ability is somebody I would like next year, anyway you look at it. besides Todd, the team will be very young, next year
and the following year.
Duane is NOT transferring and there's no reason for Deonte to transfer. John Dawson's Dad seems like a pretty forthright guy and he has given us no indications of transferring. That leaves JJJ. He has 2 options - commit to Buzz's program and play next season or transfer and sit out next year. Jake played more than anyone. There are guard minutes to get. Does JJJ want them?

It does if they feel like they will be passes up on the depth chart and ride the bench for their senior seasons. Either of them could transfer to mid-majors and be stars. I don't think this will happen, but it is possible. I actually think Juan Anderson transferring makes more sense than most of the other options.
I'm just fine with anyone transferrin'.
Maybe it is just me but I have a feeling that Mayo may not be here next year. He might try overseas and then work his way into the NBA later.

Sorry, but Derrick or Juan would not be stars at mid majors. Neither would Chris, Jake, or, for the time being at least, Steve jr of John D. That's the problem - no major stars (I have hopes for Burton) and too many minutes for guys who aren't even stars even if they move down in class.

Derrick or Juan would be more than serviceable at mid-majors. I caught a Santa Clara game this year, and either would have easily started for that team. Especially with sitting out a year.

I don't know if you appreciate the difference between Big East basketball and say...Big West basketball. Juan or Derrick would be a stud playing for a UC Riverside or a Sacramento State.

Yep. Of the guys Buzz has recruited (exception being Maymon), if they leave they're not good enough to hack it at a high major school.

Sorry, but the free throw line is still 15 feet from the basket and the basket is still 10 feet high in the Big West. Guys who can't make shots are still guys who can't make shots. Would they be better? Sure. Studs? No.

Heres the difference though. It would be much easier for both of them to get to the rim. May not be able to hit jumpers but they could get to the rim a heck of a lot easier.

No argument on that, but the chasm between where Derrick and Juan are today and anything close to "studly" is wider than the Grand Canyon - moving down in class to mid major status won't breach that big a gap.
Seeing that this young man is from Maryland, I'm not sure what MU can offer him except one trip to Georgetown next season. Lockett made sense because we were close to his hometown.

I don't think he is transferring for homesickness. I think he wants to be on a better team next season.

Good point, Temple was bad this season. Not in all cases, but in many when a player transfers they seem to end up at a school closer to home even if being homesick isn't an issue.
I hate these types of transfers. Not a single graduate transfer has completed a masters degree in over 4 years. Might as well call these kids free agents.
This is one loophole that needs to be fixed. It's a joke.
I hope Derrick Wilson and Juan have finished there undergraduate degree!

So you're advocating to kill a program that also allows an O-sport student-athlete to make progress towards a graduate degree at another school simply because no revenue sport student-athlete has finished theirs in the past four years?

I'm pretty sure I saw Trent tweet the other day that he'll be on campus in May to get his degree. He was having a back and forth with Todd Smith and Cadougan.

my guess is there are plenty of olympic athletes that dont finish either.
care to make a wager on whether Anthony Lee finishes a graduate degree somewhere?

Then why didn't they play like stars against the cupcakes we played in non-conference? They would be serviceable at the low major level..perhaps slightly above average at best at low major school.

So don't reward a kid who worked his butt off and graduated in 3 or 4 years while also being a full time athlete and has a year left of athletic eligibility? But let's let kids who know they're leaving early to play professionally to just stop going to class once the last game of the season is over. Why should these transfers be required to finish their
graduate degree when other student athletes don't even come within 3 years of finishing their undergraduate degree?
Let the kids transfer who finish their undergraduate degree in 3 or 4 years and enroll in a graduate program. Most kids don't graduate from undergrad in that timeframe anymore without playing a sport.
Why are we talking about another guy to take. We are already over by 1. Only way we take another guy is if Derrick and Juan are cut.

This is one "loophole" that I like. If anything, it incentivizes kids to work hard and actually get a degree.
Why don't we quit trying to figure out who's staying and who's going and who Buzz may try to go after? Anything we say on this board won't change anyone's mind who is actually involved in those decisions. Do you think any of them care what we say? Just enjoy the NCAA tournament, then enjoy your summer and we'll find out soon enough the outcome of what everyone is speculating about. You can't do anything about it anyway, so don't fret about. It'll happen (or it won't) and then we can all talk about it later.
