Matt Mooney is transferring from South Dakota. He is the clear best player on the grad transfer market and is a perfect fit for what we need. Guard with size, strong distributor, and lockdown defender. Could turn us from a top 30 team to top 10 team.

Went to a Catholic HS (Notre Dame prep) in the Chicago suburbs, so pretty much MU's home turf.

someone asked about a timeline for grad-students to announce;

Katin Reinhardt committed to Marquette on 4/9
Carlino on 4/25.  Lockett on 5/4.

FWIW, the only two grad transfers of consequence who have committed at this point are Makai Mason (Yale to Baylor) and Evan Bourdreax (Dartmouth to Purdue). Both were unique situations, Ivy league grads who didn't play last season and were forced to grad transfer due to ivy league rules. Mason has been committed to Baylor since the Fall and Bourdreaux was committed to Xavier since December and then switched to Purdue immediately after Mack was hired away.

Most grad transfers will commit in late April/May. There will be some that commit earlier and some that what until June or even July. Some don't even become available until June/July.

At the moment 381 transfers have been announced this offseason. The past 3 years there have been 800+ each season. We have a long way to go before we are done.

Will be interesting to see if the smaller coaching carousel this year has any effect on the final number.

Sorry but what about 2.4 career assists per game screams excellent distributor. I'd rather have Chartouny because he is a better distributor and also a better defender. Replacing Rowsey's scoring shouldn't be the focus

Not sold on Mooney. Don't think he is a high D1 player.

Struggled against Duke this year, but put up big performances against TCU and UCLA.
Played reasonably well against Gonzaga, Nebraska and Houston the year before.

Does turn the ball over too much, though.

Can he prevent dribble penetration? If so, sign him up.  If he can't we should keep looking.

Xavier just got a verbal from the D2 player of the year...... after success that Strus had at Depaul certainly could be a good get for X.....https://twitter.com/evandaniels/status/981964446359732224?s=21

Well, there are some fans who think his 4-point play against Syracuse was the biggest shot of the Buzz Era.

Forget all the game-winners by JFB, the conference-title-clincher and NCAA savior shots by Vander, the tying 30-footer by Junior, Katin's winning play against Nova, etc. And forget that Syracuse re-built its lead - plus - only a few minutes after that play by Jake.

Mooney's defense eats Chartouny's for breakfast. Nom nom. Chartouney is more disruptive with the 3.3 steals but Mooney is the type of defender that can lock somebody down. His points per possession allowed is in the 95th percentile of all Division 1 players.

As for his career 2.4 assists, I don't really care about how he averaged 1.8 assists three years ago at a different school. What I was looking at is last year when he averaged 3.1 assists a game despite not being able to pass to the best scorer on the team (himself).

I love Chartouney's fit for us, just check my handle. But Mooney is a better player and just as good of a fit.

Duke has reached out to Albany grad transfer Joe Cremo, he told ESPN. 6-4 guard averaged 17.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists and shot 46 percent from 3 this past season.

Groan.
Then again, with Duke bringing in a 5-star PG (Tre Jones), does Cremo want to go to a place where he might struggle to get 20 mpg?

ChiTown, I love you like a brother (probably because you are my brother), but I feel like you say this about every player who used to play high school ball in Chicago.

What I know is this, Mooney's raw stats are beautiful. His advanced stats, beautiful. He played for a top 100 South Dakota team. And while he got shut down by Duke, KenPom's 3rd best team in the country, (3 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 4 turnovers, 1/5 shooting), he also hung 31 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 6 turnovers, 12/22 shooting on TCU and 23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 4 turnovers, 10/18 shooting on UCLA, both tournament teams. Yes, the turnovers were high in all three games, but that's what happens when your the best player on a low major team going against high major competition. Also, in 3 games against South Dakota State, a top 80 KenPom team and the autobid from the Summit, Mooney averaged 31 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.3 steals, 2 turnovers on 33/73 shooting.

I think this is pretty good evidence that he could be a D1 level player. I think if he were to transfer here, he would be one of our top 3 or 4 players. He already had strong efficiency numbers at South Dakota, those could sore if he was on a roster where he wasn't at the top of every scouting report.

Every year there seems to be one or two transfers that go to blue bloods that make you scratch your head. Good players who could be starters for other high majors and stars at some of the lower high majors but choose to go to a blue blood where they get few minutes. Don't know if they think they will have a role and are wrong, or just want to be a part of a championship caliber team.

Duke's starting lineup will undoubtedly feature 4 freshmen, all of whom are 6'7" or shorter. I would assume Marques Bolden would get the 5th starting spot. Could Cremo beat out DeLaurier and O'Connell for one of the top 2 spots on the bench? Theoretically. This also assumes that Duke doesn't pick up EJ Montgomery, another 5 star who would demand minutes. But at least at the moment, I don't see a clear backup PG on their roster for Jones so maybe Cremo could excel at that role.

It's not so much Mooney (Though just the thought of having to cheer for someone who went to Notre Dame is already killing me), but more along the lines of I get really bad flashbacks to Jake Thomas.

Had the same thought about Rowsey when he transferred in, obviously wrong on that account. But you really have no clue how these low major players are going to perform against high competition on a nightly basis.
