2018 Grad Transfer Thread, Updated 4/19/2018

Seems like there was almost zero thought put into the predicted landing spots

I particularly liked Cremo to Oregon despite them not being listed as a school with interest

[auburnmarquette]

It's funny to me that a board of alums for whom weather was nowhere near a contending factor would assume that it would be so for any particular recruit, much less one from ut nort, eh?

In response, I can only remember a funny moment with Jae Crowder senior day. I really didn't know any MU players except a few I went to school with and suddenly had a strange Alabama/Georgia connection with Crowder that landed me an invite to getting together with his dad, and dad's high school coach for senior day (with only spouses included) for a nice, quick get together after Crowder torched Georgetown.

After a few pictures, and friendly chatter about Jae saying he needed a nap, his dad Corey mentioned we had moved from his native Georgia to Auburn.  Jae turned, looked at me, and said,

"You came up here from the south too? Did you know how coooooold it was here?" Then this mountain of a man who had thrown opponents around all year starts to shiver even though we were inside, and said, "It is so cold here, it HURTS."

It seemed I had found the one thing Crowder feared, the cold! So yes, I love the cooler climate, married by Wisconsinite wife 30 years ago last night in Milwaukee and she did not like the cold and wanted to end up in the south so I am here, but Buzz's knack for trying to sign the guys from warm climates before they experienced a cold Milwaukee winter day seemed prudent for those who don't :-)

There is zero chance that Milwaukee's weather will have an impact on Chartouny's decision.  He knows it's cold and snowy in winter.

For those on here freaking out about the weather, today is the nicest day Milwaukee has had in over a month.
Hopefully Wojo paid OT for the Marquette campus staff to melt all of the snow on campus.

Yeah, a lot of white  stuff around town.

Chartouny is from Montreal and went to school in New York, which experienced record-low temperatures in January and was hit by three nor-easters last month. If we don't land him, weather would probably be the absolute least important reason. Just chill out and let's see what happens.

You can see why he went out to Grand Canyon, the weather.  But if he wants to play major college ball, Creighton and MU are it.  MU has an open starting position on
the team next year, hope the players and him get along.  Does Creighton have a point guard back next year?  I know they lose Harrell, Foster, Thomas and Hegner,
that are big losses for sure but none were point guards.  There sure are losing a lot.

Supplyin' coke ain't a recruiting violation no more?

They return Daveon Mintz and Caleb Joseph at the point. Mintz was the starter last year as a Soph and was pretty inconsistent. Joseph hardly played at all.

[Marcus92]

Creighton has 6'3" Davion Mintz coming back. He averaged 6.1 points, 3.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 0.4 steals in 21.1 minutes a game as a sophomore last season.

Koby McChartouny?

Joseph Chartouny= Grad Transfer from Fordham; from Montreal

Koby McEwen = traditional transfer from Utah State; final 3 of Creighton, Marquette, and Grand Canyon; from Toronto, IIRC

I don't believe Grand Canyon was involved with Chartouny.

I think you have your canadian PGs mixed up. Koby McEwen is down to us, Grand Canyon, and Creighton. JC hasn't offiically announced a list but us and Louisville are the only two being mentioned with him.

[MU82]

Trying to decide if I should get Canadian bacon on my sammich.

Done deal yet?

Not sure if it's a board of alums.

Not true. Last week, it was 61 and sunny. Today's high is 38.

What? No lox? I thought our program had the big bucks!

Ohh, I just figured it had been raining/snowing/sleeting for weeks given what we had this weekend.

That great moment of 61 lasted for one hour. Then it dropped to 45 later in the afternoon. Bad weather all over the Midwest and Northeast.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Someone with eyes on the Al give us an update on the visit?   

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

The ink ink dry yet??  I dont get too wrapped up on recruits but i really think charcouterie could be the missing piece a really fantastic season that we have all been waiting fir for 5-6 yrs now😫

[Pakuni]

Not true. Last week, it was 61 and sunny. Today's high is 38.

All that really matters is whether or not it's too cold for a visit from the ice cream truck.
If not, we good.
