One or two additional transfers for 2012-13???

[GOO]

Any info on one or two additional transfers?

I am not worried about 2013 or 2014 scholarships.  It wouldn't surprise me if Otule played a 6th year on his own dime.  Five years on scholarship is pretty good.

Otule won't be paying his way if he gets a sixth year.

Yep. Why would he?

[Dawson Rental]

Still really doubt Buzz doesn't leave a schollie open. And the Maymon situation wouldn't make Buzz think differently. Smith, yes.

Wait, you really think that Buzz wants the option of taking a mid-season transfer?  And he'll take that option over getting someone now?

Ok, so if Otule decised to stay Buzz has to work out the scholarships.  So, who are these 1 or 2 transfers?  I know of one possible in DFS.

Mark Miller mentioned that one might be a walk-on....a la Jake Thomas.

And I am sure we are still out there recruiting.  There is generally so much roster turn-over that I doubt Buzz is all that concerned if we go one or two over for an academic year that doesn't start in 12+ months.

There's a rule that we can only officially oversign by one, right?  But that wouldn't come into play until letters of intent are signed in the fall.

I am not sure, if there is a rule about oversigning. Another possiblity is that Mayo's brother would pay his tuition.

It's more likely Todd goes to Europe than OJ pay his way.

I thought I remembered being able to oversign by one.  If that's the case, I would think that since Otule's sixth year is not effective until it is actually granted we would technically be able to oversign by two if we wanted.

Or transfer...academically?

That might explain interest in Matt Humphrey and Milton Doyle.

[Hards Alumni]

First, Buzz won't leave the scholly open.

Second, he won't be using it on Jake Thomas.

I'm not sure who the scholarship transfer is going to be. But the walk on could be Baba Fajembola from what I've heard. He's a 6'2'' guard who is great friends with Jamil and a pretty good player. I believe he was at a JUCO last year but I'm not exactly sure where.

Here is some Video. J Wilson is actually in it cheering him on with MU shorts.

What are the rules for how much financial aid you could provide for a walk on, there must be some rules governing this or else someone would have already figured out how to in essence get an academic scholarship for a student athlete and not use one of the 13 BB schollies.

CORRECTION:  Basketball and football players "count" against scholarship totals no matter the source of their institutional aid.

BTW, Matt Humphrey was one of the transfers that Mark Miller was talking about.  According to IWB, the others in question do not fit the mold of a player who would be immediately eligible.

Seems far fetched, but any truth that one of the players transferring in is Garrett Swanson, a kid from Idaho State?

He's from Spokane, was a walk-on at ISU, and only averaged about 3.5 ppg and 2 reb.

True or just a body to practice against?

That would be a sexy get.  If the kid's only issue is that he is having trouble putting on mass then Todd Smith will be able to handle that.

Always good news to have another big-man (if this is true)

Edit: Looks like the guy is more of a switchable.

Swanson is listed at 6'7" on the Bengal roster.

He needs to bulk up but he as a nice looking shot to stretch the D.

I'm still looking fir the beast who'll jam it home.

looking at his status it seems to be true and a few days old actually,and for the record baba fajembola will not be walking on at marquette.

[Blackhat]

Garrett Swanson, next Marquette Walk-On All-American who deserves a scholarship.



Glad to have you shades.

Was there actually talk of this possibly happening? I played HS ball with him and he never even made it off the bench in high school. I know he is really close with a lot of the current players but did not hear any talk about him coming into the program.
