[Paint Touches] Transfer Tracker

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

https://painttouches.com/2017/03/29/ncaa-transfer-tracker-march-28th-edition/

First edition of the transfer tracker. No grad transfers, we're all about traditional here (with no racial undertones).

A note, this article was written yesterday morning....and as usual a bunch of new transfers popped up later that day making this list outdated. Still some good information in there and those that popped up will be on next week's edition!

I think we should call it the Transfer Window

Is this a list of best available transfers, or a list of best available transfers that Marquette is pursuing?

Transfers. I am not inside enough to know who marquette is pursuing. I also doubt we'd go after more than a few transfers at a time.

Give me Mike Lewis (traditional transfer), Al Freeman (Grad trasnfer), and one of Jamerl Baker, Clifton Moore, Greg Elliot (in that order of preference for the freshman), or another grad transfer big, and lets go to battle.

Sort of an all you can eat buffet, hey?

@AdamZagoria: Darien Williams and Malik Ellison are transferring from @StJohnsBBall , per the school.

Sure.  Burning scholarships is dumb.  Sometimes is works out (see Froling), but more often, you burn it for no reason.  Plus mid year transfers aren't great situations anyway.  Its always better to use what you have allotted to you.

A little surprised about Ellison, but with Ponds and Lovett, back court minutes hard to come by.

Guessing Darien Williams will be eligible immediately. 

Obviously neither will be options for MU.

I wonder if Wojo uses redshirting as a tool to lure transfers like Gonzaga does: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/the-unsung-secret-to-gonzagas-success-is-something-nobody-really-wants-152315953.html

When Henry & Wally were here, playing St. John's was infuriating if you were listening on the radio or distracted from your TV.

Have always believed that the redshirt is criminally underused in college basketball.  I think if you are using all 13 of your scholarships, at least two should be redshirts.

True, but no kids really want to redshirt unless they have to (transfer).

Would be great to see Anim really take a step forward. Coupled with the contributions Luke and Rowsey made after sitting out, it could become a big selling point.

I've wondered about Froling--would it be better for us to have him sit out the second semester next year, to retain a year of eligibility on the back-end?  Its an interesting proposition.  While having him to pair with Heldt during BE play next year would be nice, it might be better to trade the semester of play now for another year in '20-'21. 

Now, to JJJJ's point, I don't know if he'd want to do that, after already sitting out one year.  But, I wonder whether it is better for the team to trade a semester of eligibility now for a year of eligibility later.

With the current roster make up, no way.

I really don't think it's that big of a deal. Luke transferring midseason only cost him 8 games. As much as it's considered missing half a season, it's about 25-30% at most.

That's a good point.

I do think that there is some loss in not having as much opportunity to find how he'll fit into the rotation against real opponents--a few buy-games doesn't give that much input. 

I would like to see us continue to utilize the red-shirt regularly--Ike Eke seems like another potential fit for next year.

I definitely agree. Eke is a great candidate if our roster allows. But with a guy like Froling, you take someone that has no chance to graduate before he's done playing basketball, to a 50/50 shot he leaves before his last year. It's just he way of college hoops these days.  Not worth it over 9-10 noncon games.

I think Froling is able to play in the closed door scrimmages right? I wonder if we do two of those to get him more game situations. Or is he allowed to play in the exhibition? I don't think he is.

I think Eke would be a good candidate as he seems raw and needs to bulk up. I'm pretty high on John.

Thanks for compiling this.

Ed Morrow is leaving Nebraska. Would love if came to MU. Tough big that can rebound, defend, and score around the rim.

Only the ones that the committee doesn't count when considering bids and seeds.

Grad Transfer or a regular transfer?

Murrow would be a fantastic get.

Ellinsons don't stay in one place very long.
