[Paint Touches] Transfer Tracker

[2012 Warrior]

Givin this one out early. He doesn't look like much at first glance. But look a little closer. There is....intriguing potential here.

Possible connection with Brett Nelson?  Only asking because of possible Florida ties.

Charlie Moore would be perfect. I don't think there's been a better fit for a traditional transfer. I hope we give him a good run.

Moore played for Morgan Park. I assume that means his family is from around the area. Depending on how close he wants to be, here are the closest high major schools to Morgan Park.

Depaul: 30 minutes
Northwestern: 45 minutes
Notre Dame: 1 hour 39 minutes
Marquette: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Illinois: 1 hour, 52 minutes
Purdue: 1 hour, 53 minutes

The next closest high major after that is an additional hour away. My guess is that he ends up at one of the above six. Mizzou could be in play too. Follow his coach and he's still technically closer to home.

NCAA closed that loophole a couple years ago.  And it would be better for MU if he did have to sit.  Get him a class behind Markus.

EDIT:  But I think you are right.  I bet he's not only going to Illinois but it's already in the bag.

Other than proximity and Evan Daniels sending 1 tweet that he thinks Illinois will be a major player for Moore, why the certainty that he's in the bag? Illinois has already recruited him twice and he said no twice. Circumstances (and coaches) change but no one on the Illinois boards seem to think he's a lock or even likely. They think he's ending up at Northwestern or Depaul.

I would think Charlie Moore has to be a top five transfer this summer. Would be huge for Illinois or DePaul.

Why would anyone in their right mind actually CHOOSE to play at DePaul?? Unless you had no other options then maybe

I think the combination of Underwood and Antigua means that they may be pushing the limits.

To get back on topic: Charlie Moore of California is transferring to be closer to home. He is originally from Chicago, small tough guard that is fundamentally sound. I don't think we will offer but I'm sure wojo will give him a call

It was never off topic.  Literally 13 of the 14 posts prior to yours were about Charlie Moore.  (And the other one was about another grad transfer.)

Yeah but now we're hopelessly off topic. Mods please lock the thread.

I agree with this anecklysis

San Diego State's Zylan Cheatham told ESPN he has received his release to transfer.


MU should pursue solely for the puns.

Updated.  More talent coming off the board than being added.  But still isn't of quality transfers on there

MU seems to be focusing more on transfers(morrow, Moore etc), then they are grad transfers, and I'm not really sure why. Some would say that there have to be minutes available for a grad transfer for them to come, and some question whether or not said minutes are available. I'll tell you what, there are two grad transfers out there that could IMO, take MU to the sweet 16 or better next year, and they should be able to get all the minutes they can handle. Just not sure at this point, what exactly Wojo is doing, and I hope like hell he hasn't been telling potential grad transfers that there may or may not be massive minutes available. At least if he's been in contact with those specific two.

BD says he's after Egor and we offered Cameron Johnson, so clearly he's not opposed to grad transfers for next season.

MU is in contact with both Cameron Johnson and Egor Koulechov. Possibly others. There's no reason to think Wojo is telling grad transfers thanks but no thanks

[muguru]

BD can say what he wants, not doubting his info, but it's hard to know for sure when there has been NOTHING about visits, contact with either etc. No one else has reported anything about any interest in grad transfers. Not saying it's worry time yet, but just seems oddly quiet, when you figure Reinhardt committed on like April 9th, Carlino on the 25th of April. In fact, I think I saw a list just the other day of Cam's list and MU wasn't on it..

From Corey Evans: Jamie Dixon/TCU, Brad Underwood/Illinois, Andy Kennedy/Ole Miss & Dana Altman/Oregon will complete in-homes tmrw w/Pitt transfer Cam Johnson

That's the problem with the above statement, we have no solid 100% proof that they are doing anything with Cam or Egor, just mostly "speculation" that they are in contact.

Well Cameron Johnson said Marquette offered him. So I assume sort of contact had to happen in order for that offer to be given. And Big Daddy is not a snub. If he says Marquette is talking to Egor they are talking to Egor.

With all due respect to BD, I'd like to see it from a few more sources before I take it to the bank. And I believe his last comment about it was "Stan is still working on Egor". Honestly, if he is still working on it, it's likely not going to happen. To me, with Stan and Egor's past relationship, you wouldn't think it would take him long to at least get him in for a visit.

And contact does not necessarily mean major interest. There's a big difference.

So...what is your point? Just let it play out. They're going to fill their openings or they can get guys worth getting.

Well your concern was that Wojo wasn't trying to get grad transfers. That is false. He is trying. He's reached out to more grad transfer than traditional transfers. If grad transfers aren't interested, the concern isn't Wojo's interest in grad transfer, its in the recruit's interest in coming here.

I would council more patience with Egor. Two weeks ago, NO ONE knew that Egor was going to take a visit to Gainesville. Last week, NO ONE knew that Iowa State was getting a visit from Egor. I know some recruits broadcast their every move. Egor isn't like that.

Trust me, I'm tracking every single grad transfer and traditional transfer. A vast majority haven't set any visits yet. Transfermania lasts a couple of months. We're only in week two.

[GGGG]

So if there isn't 100% proof, why are you drawing assumptions like this:

[muguru]

So if there isn't 100% proof, why are you drawing assumptions like this:

Because we have MORE proof that's where their focus is whether it be an article by Matty v, or a twitter follow by one of the coaches, there's more proof of that, then grad transfer interest. Nelson following Moore on Twitter, the in home with Jemarl Baker, Matty V reporting they were going to see Morrow before the spring signing period.

We have heard NOTHING concrete on Egor, and only an offer to Cam Johnson, but then an in home visit list didn't have MU. Where the yare focusing(traditional transfers), seems really perplexing to me.

Wojo doesn't know sheet about landing quality Grad transfers...probably on vacation with no cell for a week or two.

[bananahammock]

FWIW...Dodds states MU is not pursuing Egor.

[muguru]

FWIW...Dodds states MU is not pursuing Egor.

Not sure where he said that(he hasn't said it on his board)...but it wouldn't surprise me if they aren't. Pretty sad they wouldn't be after the best grad transfer on the market, but everyone seems to trust all of Wojo's decisions so..

*But if it comes out that they aren't pursuing him, then people owe me an apology as it would then appear Wojo isn't interested in grad transfers this year(because if you aren't interested in Koulachev there's a problem, he's the best out there), which I have stated all the tea leaves seem to suggest*
