Yes please.

Be somebody, Wojo!

Don't we have an Alec Peters connected poster on here? I want to say it was Big Daddy.

Would be a ridiculously talented pickup in likely June

If he transfers, Vandy is the popular (easy) prediction. Aside from them, we'd be competing with every program that has an available scholarship. The golden goose of the grad transfer market, IMO.

I don't know. Feels like Austin Nichols 2.0. It's a nice thought - him coming to MU and all - but he probably already knows where he's going and that's somewhere near the Cumberland River...

[brewcity77]

I don't think Vanderbilt is automatic, considering he'll have his choice of blue bloods, but I also think we'd be a long shot. The Austin Nichols comparison seems apt.

Valpo is in rebuilding mode and that would be tough for Peters to showcase his talents.  He is a heck of a player and leader.  Does he stay or go to Vanderbilt, another program in a rebuilding cycle?  Would he get lost in the shuffle at some schools?  My bet is he'll go to a school where he sees immediate playing time and a strong chance of getting the NCAA Tournament.

What kind of cycle are we in?

Menstrual

He would start and immediately be a 30min per game guy on a team returning 3 double digit scorers (or maybe it's 4, I forget).
Let's do this.

[TheTulsaWarrior]

What part of the rebuilding cycle?  Almost complete after the train wreck created by the former school prez, former AD and yes the former coach.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

If Peters main goal is to increase his draft status, he would look for a program where he would be the star and still make a run in the ncaa tournament. If he thinks he can be a star at the blue bloods, than that's where he'll go. But we are in a pretty good position to recruit him IMHO. I think we are a fringe NCAA team without him. We have a gaping hole at the position Peters plays. He would be be the star and we would be an NCAA tournament lock.

Wishful thinking on my part, but it seems like the fit would make sense.

[brewcity77]

Peters seems like what we hoped Henry could be as a sophomore. He can score, rebound, shoot well and efficiently, defend without fouling, get to the line...if he could replicate his play at the Big East level, he could make us a contender for top 3 in the league. I'm really trying to not get my hopes up because he seems too perfect.

[Tugg Speedman]

Why do we do this every off-season ... Start a thread about every single transfer and then have a wet dream about him coming to MU?

Why do we think he every knows where MU is, let alone is interested?  For all we know, he thinks we are in the UP.

[NotAnAlum]

Because we are fans. That's what fans do.
Look there are plenty of was to get the word out to a guy like Alec without violating any NCAA contact rules.  I'm sure some friend of a friend of his old AAU coach will probably say "hey you know you should contact MU, they have a need at your position" and the word will get passed.
That said the chance to finish your career with the coach that "made you a star" and who you feel comfortable with is a powerful draw.

[Loose Cannon]

  Because it's the offseason, that what we do!

Wait, YOU are complaining about unnecessary threads being created?



Sorry, couldn't help myself

Heisy's mad because he didn't start the thread.

Truth.

In all seriousness, has Marquette been mentioned anywhere (other than Scoop) as a landing spot for Peters?

Sure, he'd be great. Usually, there's a little buzz (not Buzz, but buzz) about these kinds of things if there's possibly any "there there."

I mean, he announced yesterday. Usually it takes a few days for a list of candidate to emerge.

Irony defined.

Did he even announce he will transfer yet?  I know he said he is considering it, but didn't think any decisions were made yet.
