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.

Yeah he would have been nice.

At least there's not much of a difference between Chartouny and Mooney.

Yeah he would have been nice.

He's done more tonight than JC did all year. Not sure that's even hyperbole.

Mooney was awesome tonight.  17 points, 5 assists and good defense.  Joe didn't score that many points in a half of BE play.  Nice pickup for TT.

I thought Mooney was the best grad transfer on the market last season not named Reid Travis. I may have been right on that call

Interesting re-reading that thread. I don't like beating up college kids, but the JC experience left a lot to be desired.

Quite a few of the graduate transfers did not work out well this season.  Making the transition from a mid or low major to high major and working with new teammates can be a steep hill to climb.

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.

Re-reading this thread, this post stuck out to me. It was made on April 5th of 2018 and at that point there were 381 transfers. This season, it's March 30th and we're already at 461 with no sign of slowing down. It is a very heavy transfer year

Sadly, I wonder if the NCAA's revised treatment of immediate eligibility last year is causing more kids to make the jump, with the idea they'll be immediately able to hit the court.

NCAA may be directly causing more transfers. Some will say that's good for the kids... not sure about that.
