Drew Gordon - Mid season transfer?

[radome]

The open scholarship does create intrigue for us but if I was Gordon, I would wait another semester to go where I want.  Nevertheless, would be a great get.

While I don't think we will get him, I think this is a HUGE advantage for us.  How many top programs have open scholarships right now?

Not having any scholies did not stop Calipari from over-recruiting by 3 or 4 last spring.  I don't think not having an "opn" scholie will stop a top level m from going after a guy they want.  Things happen.

Based on some of the rumors I've heard, I think I'll pass.  I don't think adding players to a team that are unhappy with life's every whim is good for chemistry.  Now, one could argue that he was this way because of the style, disciplinarian nature of Howland, etc, but I worry it's more of a leopard having his spots and they will show again.

At the end of the day, I like my coaches running the asylum, not the players.

I think I'd have to agree with you here.  Guys averaging 11 PPG seldom leave a team mid-term.

Paper in the Bay Area (where he he is from) said he will only be looking at schools west of the Mississippi (quote from the family).

So MU is out of the picture for sure.

If true, its the Big 12 or Gonzaga. PAC10 transfer rules eliminate many of the high major programs west of the Mississippi.

If I were him, I would be a little more broad minded.  He should come to a school with an open schollie now.   

[MuMark]

If he is transferring to a school mid year then he will be going to a school with an open scholarship now since I doubt he will be walking on anywhere.

Royce White will likely be kicked out of MN soon, or so the rumor goes in MN.  Maybe buzz can look past the burglary charges.

Buzz may, I won't. Get your free education elsewhere.

I hope he doesn't know his geography.

I won't surprised if he ends up at Santa Clara, Dons (Coach Rex Walters, another local product), Portland, OR Zags.

I'd be surprised if he ends up at San Jose State.

In this thread it says that "this kid can have the pick of any school in the country" so why would he go to these schools? Also, he wants to play the 4 next to a true 5. Weve got 2 true 5's and really no true 4. Go get em buzz, and prove that u change mens lives and attitudes and make them better human beings

What's wrong with Gonzaga? One could argue their team has a brighter national rep over the past 15 years than some other Jesuit schools...

simple: location and chance to dominate/star

i'd be ticked if he's only referring to big 12 schools as any school west of the Mississippi.
If he wants to go to Kansas, Texas, Texas AM...then just say so already.
