Austin Nichols transferring from Memphis

[Tugg Speedman]

In Regards to Transfers and this Josh Pastner article.....when Transfers leave US aren't they blocked from BIGEAST schools and WISCONSIN?
Maybe I'm wrong...just a question. Don't need my head ripped off, just simple asking a question....and wondering just how common that theme is.

If you transfer from one BE school to another, you have to sit two years.  That is a conference rule, not a MU rule.  So you can transfer to another BE school but no one is going to sit two years so no one does it.

Brent blocked J-May from going to Bucky.  Not sure if he ever did that with any other recruit.

Don't think there was ever another transfer that would have been considered by Wisconsin.

Did/ would Bo even have wanted j?  Or should I ask, would Bo have wanted Tim?  We play Bucky once a year. Let him go. Or was it a pissing match?

Buzz never wanted Maymon.  He figured out Timmy long before Buzz did.

I remember the theory at the time that Buzz did Bo a favor by blocking JMay from going to Bucky?

Anyone buying this idea?

Bo had no interest.  Never had interest.  Ever.  Buzz didn't have to do Bo any favors.

Bo>Buzz, hey?

Austin also considering Gonzaga and Oregon.

Austin also considering Gonzaga and Oregon.

"Also considering" as in, his final 3 are Marquette, Gonzaga, and Oregon?

I think it's those 3 plus Notre Dame.

Gotcha...didn't know it was a BE rule, Thanks for the Info! Appreciate it!

Got it.  2 West Coast teams and 2 Midwest teams.

Let's go get him Wojo.

Good God, does Oregon just ever not take a shot at nearly every transfer that surfaces?  Like Iowa State, it's not only annoyingly predictable, it cheapens their brand...even with the former being funded by Nike.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Gonzaga has a lot forwards on scholarship already but Nichols will still get playing time. Oregon is desperate for players in the post. They have a lot of playing time to offer.

I think he meant Bo didn't want Tim Maymon

There is no number of schools or final list.  Schools are interested and some such as Zags and O are given consideration.

How does it "cheapen their brand?"  If anything, Iowa State has benefited from that brand in recent years.

Pretty sure that was a typo, should have read "Bo never wanted Maymon."

Obvious to all except ??

Actually, Marquette is considered the most restrictive school out there, regularly blocking 350 other schools.  The one unblocked school is Iowa State.  Someone messed up the paper work on Steve.

Agree with you on Nichols, but not sure about Rowsey. In Wojo's Twitter Q&A a few weeks back he was asked...

"Q. Are all incoming transfers/freshman traveling to Italy? #askwojo @steve_wojo @MUHoops

A: Due to NCAA rules, Andrew Rowsey can't make the trip, but everyone else will be there"

I don't know the rules, so it's possible that Rowsey won't make the trip because he just simply didn't take 3 credits this Summer. But to call Sultan "dead wrong" for saying that Rowsey won't be making the trip is "dead wrong". Call down.

I agree with most of this and I was off. I screwed up, as did Sultan.

In addition to transfers needing to complete 3 credits before going on a foreign tour, they also must be eligible to compete for the upcoming season. [17.29.1.4.1.1(b)]

So... think back to a Trent Lockett.. he would have been fine to go on a foreign tour as a transfer... or a JUCO who is good to play immediately...

Rowsey as a 4-4 D-I transfer who must sit a year in residence is not. Sometimes I forget his former school was in fact D-I. I screwed up and should be covered in saran wrap and dumped upon by a beautiful girl.

That's a really strange interpretation of "beautiful girl".
