Midseason Transfers

[GGGG]

Nevada, does he have the rest of this year and next year only?  He doesn't have a third year beyond that right?

He will be playing this season.. Well the 20 games left... Then he has the 2015-2016 season and the 2016-2017 season he can play. So he can play 2 and a half seasons in a liberty uniform. Playing 4 minutes last season at MU was not and should not have been enough to have him lose a whole season of eligibility.

That's great news.  Did he have to petition the NCAA in some way?

If I remember right from the Otule situation, you can't petition until the year you are asking for the season. So John will finish 2015-16, play 2016-17, and then can apply for 2017-18.

Just saw that Elijah Thomas, a Top 50 recruit out of Texas A&M (TAMU Eagle, any insight?), announced he'll be transferring.  Is he the type to focus on for a midseason transfer?

I like Eli a lot. He's a good kid and a brainiac. Came to tamu with close to a 4.0 high school gpa. Would be a solid pickup for us. Id expect him to end up at a more urban school. Unfortunately, I think he stays in the south. Have heard that Baylor, SMU, and TCU are already sniffing around.

[We R Final Four]

Is MU considered a rural school now?

[Jay Bee]

Oh boy. Austin GRANDSTAFF now transferring from tOSU.. Wes working with Elijah and son Austin now.. both wind up near home?

Would Grandstaff be a good fit here or would he replicate a lot of what we already have?  (6'5" guard)

[keefe]

Would Grandstaff be a good fit here

I think Grandstaff would fit in well but it could be tight in the end. One never really knows

Heard things were getting hard for him at tOSU

Has anyone told him that we've had our warmest Milwaukee December in years?  Eh, Eh, Eh???

Well it was a lot of paperwork and phone calls that had to be done. I honestly didn't get too involved with the process because I was deployed to Afghanistan when he Transferred so living in a war zone was more important lol. But I know when it was all said and done he got this season and 2 more so he's considered a Redshirt Sophomore now. He will play Junior and Senior Season, he's actually playing in about 5 hours. I'll be there!

[4everwarriors]

Grandstaff's likely to transfer to USC and be a Trojan, ai na?

SMU would be tough.  They have 11 committed for next year and need to cut 7 scholarships (sanctions) over the next three years. 

Taking Eli, would mean they need to cut 3 scholarships each of the following two years.

That was a medical redshirt situation.  Different than Dawson's.  And it looks like it got done.

I think he'd fit in better with the cocks at the other usc

Never underestimate the squirm of larry Brown

[PGsHeroes32]

Wait. All this time Nevada was Dawson's bro? How did I miss that lol.


And people still think JJJ is gonna transfer? Unreal. And what's this body language garbage?

[Jables1604]

Nevada, thank you for your service. And although I've never mentioned it, thanks to Keefe and any other member of the armed services on Scoop for all that you do.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Anim ain't going anywhere. He just did interviews for inside Marquette basketball today.

Yep. It's JJ or nobody in my opinion, and I'd lean towards the latter.

Your analysis is so tight it fits him like latex.
