Official Transfer Thread

I am not sure Collins would do anything for Marquette.  Not much of a shooter and turns the ball over more than I would like. 

BTW, just notice the Paint Touches write up on Collins and I think it is a little too rosy.  "He has a fantastic handle and great court vision and would be Marquette's starting PG from day 1."

Yeah I am not too sure about that assessment.

That should improve soon. This time of year is usually kind of dead if you aren't in the tourney. In the next couple weeks, you'll see transfers start to settle, late commitments roll in, and guys declare for the draft.

The Mache twins are gonna leave us for the NBA? Say it ain't so!

[THRILLHO]

Part of me wonders if the staff is waiting for someone. Another guard seems like a big need, yet no interest reported on any of them. Maybe they're just targeting a rebounder first, but I'm a little surprised there's been no interest reported.

Are they at all worried that if they sign a grad transfer PG it will make Traci Carter anxious? Part of the stated reason for his verbal was the amount of playing time available and coming in with the PG job his to lose.

[jsglow]

I'd be very surprised if there is any movement on a grad PG until after Traci signs.

Has anyone heard anything about Steve?  Chitown, have you talked to him lately?  Our son hasn't heard anything and has only talked to Steve in passing choosing not to bring up the subject.

My thought exactly.  I'm wondering if MU is waiting until the high schoolers sign.... Plus the transfers are probably waiting to see what upcoming rosters look like.

Waiting until Carter signs to bring in another point would just increase my dislike of Wojo.

The spring signing day is a week from today.  It is highly doubtful that any transfer will commit to MU before then so by default you are likely going to have your dislike increased. 

But you would be assuming that he is tricking Carter somehow and that no communication is going on behind the scenes.  I don't think that would be a wise assumption on your part.

[MUfan12]

They're looking at Carter as a potential 4 year starter. In the grad transfer market, they would rather have a combo guard that can shoot it than a pure PG.

Collins is a great distributor. He's one of the best in the country at finding the open shooter. He's also loose with the handle and not at all assertive when it comes to getting his own points. On a team with Duane, Luke, Henry, and a grad transfer scorer, that may not be a bad thing, but there are definitely knocks to his game.

If we're going to have someone who is more of a game manager, I'd like someone who is willing to take (and make) the open three and is a great free throw shooter so you feel confident putting the ball in their hands at the end of the game.

TAMU mentioned Mitola, I also like Jordan Daniels from Drake. He has major connections to our coaching staff but struggled this past year when the new coach gave his role to the new freshman recruit. Neither would necessarily be flashy stat-sheet fillers, but both are guys that can be that solid role-player on a team that will hopefully have multiple offensive options.

Well Sultan, you won't have to worry about Collins not living up to your expectations

South Florida transfer Anthony Collins has cut his list to Georgetown, Tennessee, and Baylor, source told @CBSSports. Immediately eligible.

That is quite a disparate threesome in terms of coaching, style of play, and culture.

Well I hope he doesn't if he goes to Georgetown!

Shonn Miller will visit UConn on April 17th, per Jon Rothstein.

Obviously Mr. Collins has embraced diversity, something we all must do--or else!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

What are you saying here? Are you saying you are against diversity? We should only embrace those who are not diverse?

All quiet on the western front. To be honest hes kinda disappeared. Havent seen him at all which is unusual considering how often he takes LIMO's. To be honest, I havent seen any of the team recently. I know the players staying are in the AL at ton working out with Todd Smith but theyve all gone MIA recently.

I was not assuming. I responding to posters who indicating that might happen.

[JakeBarnes]

So quiet period is over, right? When do we start to hear things fall into place?

Here's a graduate transfer point guard:

Definitely worth a look if he can play immediately.

[TedBaxter]

So you already dislike Wojo?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Likely to stay in the South to Kennesaw State, though Bo may be looking at him at Madison......

I'm sure it won't happen, but little would make me happier than Bo signing a grad transfer. The ensuing hilarity would be delicious.

[PGsHeroes32]

So I compltely missed this and since its not posted here maybe others did too?

Williams-Goss is transfering from Washington.

Prov and Gtown are the BE teams in on him. This guy can play.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

DeAndre Burnett, redshirt Freshman transfer from Miami (FL) listed MU as one of the schools he is considering.
