WOW...this is a complete shocker...

My focus has now switched from Egor, to Dedric...Bring it home Stan!

Letter I just read over the air from Memphis forwards KJ and Dedric Lawson. Both will transfer. Absolute bombshell.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

We could get Egor and Dedric Lawson. 

There are so many interesting options out there right now.

I'd keep an eye on Mark Alstork..Brett Nelson and he have a connection. Not saying I'd want him, but I could see MU being interested.

[Marcus92]

Dedric Lawson's rebounding, blocked shots and overall offensive efficiency are great. But his outside shooting is scary — and not in a good way. He made just 30 of 110 threes last season. That's just 27%. Bad enough to drag his eFG% below 50 percent, lower than every player on MU's 2016-17 roster except for Duane and Haanif.

[MomofMUltiples]

We don't need him to shoot threes...

[Marcus92]

We don't need him to shoot threes...

If he's only going to hit 27% of them, Memphis didn't need him to shoot threes, either. But he took (and missed) more of them than Henry did in his freshman season. I don't find that encouraging.

[GB Warrior]

He won't be in any position to shoot 3s on this offense (playing the 4 or 5 with 3 outside shooters at all times). Who knows, he could see a slight uptick with less pressure on 3s.

He would be extremely valuable and is worth considering. But bets are on them being a package deal. We can't do anything that jeopardizes Joey, IMO

[brewcity77]

My guess is they're a package deal, which means we'd have to cut someone just to have a scholarship for Joey. I'd pass.

Egor at least has a tie with Stan.  The Lawson's had no interest in MU in their high school recruiting, from Memphis, so don't get any reason why they would be an option.  But, Dedric was a big time recruit and will make some team very happy.

Regardless of who signs, I bet you a dollar that there is at least one transfer between now and Joey Hauser announcing his commitment.

I don't know who it would be and have zero information, but history tells us that kids leave programs.

If that's the case it will likely happen soon - like within the next couple of weeks.  A Joey Hauser commitment will likely come before November.

Memphis is losing all of its players, as is UConn.

I'm with Sultan...at this point, I'd be surprised if we had a transfer out before Hauser announces his destination. I would be floored if it was later than September, and I doubt we'll have anyone announcing a new destination before that unless their mind is virtually made up already.

In my opinion the earliest an outbound transfer would occur at this juncture is next winter break.

Any thoughts as to who?

[brewcity77]

I'm sure what glow meant was a Sandy/Traci situation where the player ends up filling a lesser role on the team than they anticipated. As such, there's no way to know who it would be until we get to the winter break and see what roles the members of the roster are filling.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Meh, not much of a shock for me. They put up dominate numbers for Memphis and they didn't even sniff the NIT. Plus, the coach that recruited them isn't at Memphis anymore. I would probably want to move to a higher level of competition too.

Doubt we get involved here. They are most likely a package deal and would eat up all of of our scholarships for this season and next. Takes us out of the grad transfer game (I would like at least one to make sure next season is an improvement over this one) and puts in a situation where someone is getting pole-axed before next season if we want Joey.

TAMU, I agree.

I like where our team is and what's coming in for next year. I suspect if we chase these guys, that's a clear signal Joey ain't coming. Or there is serious doubt Joey will come here.

I don't think anyone would leave mid season next year. If Cheatham or Heldt left midseason they could only play one semester their senior year. Sacar just red shirted and Sam and Markus are starters. So if anyone were to leave it would have to be over this summer or next.

This. Thanks brew.

Couldn't happen to two nicer programs.

Yep. A freshman could leave mid year I suppose.

[wadesworld]

Not sure why I'm even bothering because this yet is another situation where there is absolutely no reason to believe there is interest from either side, but I'd take both of them no question asked.  I'm pretty confident Joey and the Hausers know that there will be a scholarship available for Joey to take at any time he would like to.  If you can add 2 big time players, you do it.
