So No Transfers?

[Tugg Speedman]

A few weeks ago Sultan found this little gem in this thread http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=29651.msg343584#msg343584

----

Since MU students can register until 1/25, maybe this is the magic date to look for.

This date is Wednesday.  After this date no one is leaving or coming in during mid-season.

Thoughts?

What would make you start this thread?

I mean seriously? We have won 4 games in row. Top 20 in the country.....all of the players are with the team.......

I guess people just need something to worry about.

My thoughts?

We have a big home game tomorrow......lets get a win.

Those are my thoughts.

I started it because the calendar says Wednesday is the last day to take a mid-season transfer.  So please explain how you twisted this in your mind to mean something negative and diminishing to our team.

I am not MuMark, but I suspect the reference to "someone leaving" hit a nerve.  I wasn't quite certain why you included that in your post, either, but not enough to challenge it.

Probably because if someone came in before the date (which, in all fairness, is approaching) someone would have to leave. I never quite understood why fans got mad when all the focus wasn't on an upcoming game. We're not playing tomorrow night.

Wha?  If someone came before the date, 1) there's an open scholarship for them already, 2) if there weren't, you can't open one mid-season with someone leaving anyway, they're for the full year.. And uh, I hope we're playing tomorrow night cause USF will be in town expecting a game.

Only transfer in name was Jamal Branch and he is going to St. Johns.  No other "in's" and no "outs"..

I believe he meant WE'RE not playing tomorrow night s in you and me and the rest of the bloggers.  Therefore we can talk about anything we want rather than focus on the game.

Not sure why people get worked up when a legit fan brings up a topic of discussion or opinion.  It's a message board.

Thanks, I couldn't figure out any other interpretation...very guilty of referring to the team as "we", not "they"!

Someone wouldn't have to leave for mu to accept a transfer. But I doubt anyone is coming.

[Dr. Blackheart]

So Steve Taylor didn't graduate early and is suiting up tomorrow night?   

[strotty]

Someone wouldn't have to leave for mu to accept a transfer. But I doubt anyone is coming.

Sorry for confusion, that's not what I meant. NEXT year someone would have to leave/not come. So, yes, it is worth bringing up in the OP.

Ok, "someone leaving" should have been left out as everyone is back and taking classes as they started last week.  I apologize.  But how many iterations does one have to twist this post in their mind before they turn this into a negative?  It never occurred to me that I would be defending this as a cut to the team or program.  Some people are so touchy, except when it comes to ripping Vander.

And yes, we have an open spot this semester so we can take someone through Wednesday and then they would be eligible to play next January.  And yes again, it appears no one is on the radar but their are still two days, and Buzz often plays his cards close to vest, which is why I asked.

i'm disappointed you read this thread...shows you're not entirely focused on tomorrow's game.

There are available scholarships for this year only.  If someone were to transfer in at the semester, then they would not have a scholarship for next year unless someone currently on the team either decides to transfer or gets dropped from the team by Buzz at the end of the year, or if Buzz tells one of the current recruits to get lost.  Ergo, by starting this thread you are raising such a possibility.  That is linear straight line logic, nothing twisted about it.

When the "So who's going to transfer threads" start, I hope that you will be willing to take your well deserved bow.

I highly recommend you avoiding threads you don't want to read.

Except this is not a "who is going to transfer" post.  That would be about someone leaving.  This was meant as an incoming transfer thread.

You are correct if someone does come in, no one has to leave this semester but something would have to leave (or not come) this summer.  So, remind me where you and MuMark were ripping those starting the the threads about Branch transferring to MU as hate talk?  I don't see you or MuMark ripping anyone wanting Philip Nolan in the current thread about him because if he comes, someone has to go.

Should be interesting to see how playing time is divided up as the season continues.

This is no different than talking about Kendrick Nunn and other 2013 recruits.  Hell, we actually were talking about a 2012 JUCO transfer just last week.  The fact is that if Nunn (or anyone else) comes here, someone we are expecting to be here isn't going to be here.  I don't know why we can't address this....we don't have to wildly speculate who might leave or not show up.
