We will not know about transfers, if any, until the semester ends, because MU will not release a palyer until his grades are in. I am not expecting any transfers.
Am I forgetting a 36 day period under Buzz?
FIFY.
MU has gone more than 365 days without a transfer. Steve Taylor was the last transfer, announced on March 18, 2015. (He announced Cleveland State on May 17, 2015
Yes, but he was a junior with enough credits to leave in good standing.
Steve Taylor announced his transfer in March last year.
Trevor Mbakwe. Scott Christopherson. Jeronne Maymon. Patrick Hazel. Youssoupha Mbao. Reggie Smith. Erik Williams. Jamail Jones. Jameel McKay. Jamal Ferguson. Deonte Burton. Steve Taylor. Gabe Levin. John Dawson.
Any other transfers I missed in the past 10 years? That's quite the collection.

Does DJ Newbill count as a transfer?
I'm assuming no one disagrees with the idea that the last 365 day period without a transfer was back in the Crean era?I am just trying to picture it. Crean had so many transfers that it is hard to beleive he did not have a transfer every year. By looking at the history of players that played for MU I came up with these players, some of who I do not even remember. Amoroso, Bell, Blankson, Berkowitz, Bradley, Christian, Freund, Hanley (?), Hazel, Hester, Howard, Kuphall (?), Mason, Menard. This does not include these players that never played. Williams a transfer from NC St, Saunders and Matthews. That averages more than one a year, but there could of been a year where there was not a transfer.
Silly topic - Wojo had 4 transfers in his first year and we don't yet know if he'll have any in his second.

Moreover, the Spring signing period begins April 13th and extends through May 18th. Do you really think prospective athletes are going to wait on MU until exams are completed?
Do note that the NBA Draft Combine is scheduled for May 11-15. This could make it a little tricky for Wojo with respect to Henry as he weighs his final decision. Might be tough for one of the Bigs to 'hang around and wait'. Hopefully Henry is sensitive to that and can give Wojo a pretty clear path well in advance.
I doubt that the results of the NBA combine will effect Henry's decision. It's a good bet that he won't participate.
I agree. I don't think he'll go to Chicago and I really don't think he'll leave MU hanging at all, either way.
I agree that from a narrow definition this is true....but we dont know yet what the transfer situation is for this season...we definitely had transfers last season. So TBD.
If the point was we are less volatile than with Buzz -- then the answer seems to be yes (again TBD). Transfers are inevitable in today's college bball, but it bordered on excessive with Buzz because of his willingness to take flyers on HS students and his apparent candor.
The big question for me will be what happens with Wojo's own recruits. If Sandy were to leave, I'd take it as a less volatile transfer than say Anim because while Sandy did recommit to Wojo, he was originally a Buzz guy, whereas Anim was all Wojo.
When you look around at the college game right now, there's only one team in the Sweet 16 (Wisconsin) that isn't getting major contributions from at least one senior. The best players this year are guys like Hield, Valentine, Brogdon, Johnson, and Ellis. I think while the one-and-done model can work for teams like Kentucky, coaches are starting to see the volatility in that model and realizing you need experience to sustain success.
That's where keeping guys like Anim around will be important, in my opinion. He may be a bit player now, but in 2019 he could very well be a key starter, even a star.
Completely agree -- I think you explained what I was thinking by 'TBD'. For example we seem to be going after PGs hard. If this is because one of our is transferring, it would be a major disappointment in my mind because of what you describe above.
I doubt that the results of the NBA combine will effect Henry's decision. It's a good bet that he won't participate.I think , if he declares, he will participate. Under the current system, you have the right to return, so you are really going to want to know where you stand. The only reason not to participate is if you have no intent on going back to school.

Don't the top players jut go do direct work-outs with teams....thereby not needing the combine? I would imagine HE would be in this situation.Yep.. Wojo suggested as much on his radio show with Homer on Thursday.
Do you think MU is past the window that we would hear about one?
Crean had lots of transfers. Hence the term 'house-Creaning'.
You are never past the window for a transfer. But it is encouraging. Still think we see one or two departures. Not necessarily transfers
So other than Wally saying he is no longer going to play basketball, what is another example of what you are referring to?Todd Mayo did not come back his Senior Year and elected to go to the D League.

I thought the term was also Buzzcutting?

Todd Mayo did not come back his Senior Year and elected to go to the D League.
He may have elected to go to the D league but he didn't elect to leave Marquette.

I meant on this team right now.
We have 13 scholarship players so I have not even opened the 10 page thread about transfer options. Until someone leaves, that thread is a waste of time and energy.
Now if Wally announces he is becoming a professional high jumper after the NCAA championship this June, that might open a spot (again, if that even happens). Otherwise, what other non-transfer options exists among the other 12 scholarship players?
I don't see any.

Something can always happen. Someone gets kicked off the team. Some get pole axed. Someone doesn't qualify academically. Someone goes pro overseas. Someone "loses their love for the game."

Under Buzz Williams, yes. But the discussion was assuming that Buzz never had a transfer free year and was directed toward whether or not Crean ever had one.

So you won't open the transfer thread because until someone announced they are leaving the then it's a waste of time to speculate on who's leaving...but now you want to speculate on who's leaving in other forms besides transfer? I guess I don't get what the difference is, why one would be a waste of time/energy but why the other isn't.

Two questions:
1) Do you expect anyone to transfer this off-season?
2) Is the the first 365 day period without a transfer since Crean was in charge? Am I forgetting a 365 day period under Buzz?

No, TAMU said that. I asked who/how and TAMU pulled something out of his arse ... kind of like that 10 page thread about getting someone for a position that, as of now, does not exist.
He hasnt opened that thread and won't engage in that discussion because he didn't start it. No clicks for him there.

You literally started this thread on the topic of MU basketball transfers and in your original post ask if people expect a transfer this offseason. Then you go and say...
And then you try to deny discussing player departures. Which maybe you didn't discuss them at all in here, I don't feel like reading every post in this thread to find out. But something tells me you probably discussed who may be leaving in this thread. So why are you wasting your time and energy if nothing's been announced? And if you didn't, why would you ask if others expect a departure and then get upset about other people discussing possible departures before someone announces their departure?
You're on a roll. Keep going.
Very true.
Those two posts were a month apart. The issue of transfers changes over time.
So then which 10 page thread on the topic of transfers are you not opening because it's a waste of time and energy to speculate on them until they are actually announced?
The Grad Transfer PF options that was started on February 1, 2016? So things change over the course of a month, but not 2 and a half months? Got it.
That's logical.
