Biggest Grad Transfer Need

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Elijah Brown was recruited in HS by AZ State and none other than Stan Johnson. Just sayin.

That'd be a fantastic start.

Yeah, if he is a Point Guard, and the above is true then the dots are a little more connected for me, especially taken with Duane's announcement.

When SC beat MU and then Duke (Both teams without a true PG) it became a basic position needed to improve our chances advance.

[GGGG]

Still not sure Brown can play here since he was on Butler's roster.  Interesting question.

Played with Katin too in hs.

Brown is definitely more the combo guard type. But he does it all. Points, rebounds, assists, gets to the line, steals, the only knock is somewhat low efficiency, but on this team with other scoring options he'd likely get better shots and see his eFG% go up.

Not sure where his defense is. On this team, that's important. But he has the frame and is a coach's son.

Is Sacar viewed as a 2 or 3?  Both Rowsey and Howard are really 1/2's but spending most of the time at the 1.  Right now we only have Cheatham as a pure 2. 

We either need to move Rowsey/Howard to a pure 2 (and bring in a PG) or bring in a SG.  Brown fills an ideal niche as a 2G.

Answered it in the recruiting thread. He cannot. No indirect transfers.

[cheebs09]

Did Mike Brown coach with Team USA at all? Could he have a relationship with Wojo through that?

ETA: Never mind. He coached the PanAmerican games in 2015 with Tad Boyle and Mark Few. I wonder if Gonzaga would be a possible landing spot.

Interesting question though.. he signed NLI  in April of 2013. Butler being part of new big East talk starred in March, but the new conference wasn't established until July per Wikipedia. So he may have never signed an NLI with a big East team.

It is an interesting question. I have no idea what the answer is.

Another somewhat interesting name is Evan Maxwell.

Not 100% sure what he status is, as he spent his first two years of college at Liberty, then transferred to Kansas before the 16-17 season, and left the program midseason.  Not sure if that means he would be eligible right away, or if he'd have to sit another half season, or full season. 

6-10 center.  Averaged 10 and 5 as a sophomore at Liberty.  Not sure how much he fits our needs, but with 3 available scholarships now, we definitely have space for a front court player, as well as a guard/wing grad transfer.

Seems like a decent player. I really hope we can get a wing slasher type of player

I think he can pretty much put it in the bank that Wojo will be hot after all the top wing grad transfers. 

[AZMarqfan]

I'd really like to see us add a true PG.  You know the kind that can break any press, and penetrate and kick.  We haven't had one in a long time. 

After that, I'd like two bigs.  One that can step in at around 6'9" to rebound and play D, while another that may fill a need at Center (doesn't need to be a starter, but would be nice to get a competent 10 minute per game guy). 

[Dawson Rental]

I'll take door number 3. We've got the components for the first two either on or coming to the roster. What we need is a sheriff, ala Ouze and Jon Harris. Clean up the glass, body up players in the paint. If they can shoot the 3, fine I'll take it, but is definitely not a requirement.

My theory is, with that type of player you play Markus, Haanif, Sam, unnamed sheriff, and Froling....that line-up should be able to play competent defense/rebound and the offense should be unreal.

You might have had me if you used Faisal Abraham as the example of the sheriff we need.

Good Theo comp = Faisal

Here's the perfect fit...

Long Beach State's Roschon Prince will graduate and transfer, per release. Averaged 13.4 PPG and 9.4 RPG. Immediately eligible.

Those are not his numbers on ESPN.  Not sure he is what we need at all, he would join a log jam at the 3/4.

Yah, I see 9.4/6.9.  Were he a rebounding 4 that could play some D, I'd be all for it, along with a scoring wing.  But doesn't seem like a great fit just by looking at his numbers.

He did play at year at USC with Katin.  So there is that.

[brewcity77]

Averaged 5.1 ppg/4.0 rpg against top-100 competition. I'd say pass.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Prince is an intriguing prospect. Good size for a wing and not afraid to mix it up. But he has no shot. 0 career 3Ps. Not sure he'd fit in our offense. But wouldn't be the worst guy to have on your bench. There are better possibilities at this point.

[Oldgym]

Somewhat OT because these guys aren't graduates, but Shayok and Reuter are both leaving UVA.

Anyone hoping for Jeffrey Carroll can forget that. He's testing the draft waters without an agent, but said if he comes back, Oklahoma State is the only school he'd play for.

[GoldenDieners32]

Chris Chiozza should transfer after this year to MU
