Silver Warrior on Transfers

[DCHoopster]

Aye, and thats exactly what people said of Duane Wilson. Theres a jam in the front court. A senior who already has seen games where hes logged <5 minutes this year with a Freshman, sophmore, and junior capable of playing the same position. There is a definite chance Heldt transfers.

There is no chance Matt is leaving, grad seniors transfer but players going into there senior year rarely transfer because a school would have to pay for a kid
for 2 years, not one. Particularly a player that averages 4 points a game.  Not happening.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Trying to guess transfers is a fool's errand. There were people guaranteeing JJJ's transfer every offseason he was here. There was no way Traci would transfer. It happens.

I could absolutely see Matt transferring. Wojo loves the kid. If he he knows that Matt is destined for a small role as senior because of Morrow/Joey and John/Froling/Eke getting better than why wouldn't he have Matt consider transferring and spending his senior year as the star somewhere? Matt's a smart kid too, what if he graduates in three years?

I could see Theo and/or Froling wanting to transfer. Frontcourt will be crowded next season. If they don't get better, they are looking at a reduced role going forward.

I could see Eke wanting to transfer. He has the athleticism but the limited bits I have seen of him seems to say that he is a long way from a high major player at this point. The back injury is only slowing that down.

I could see Jamal, Elliott, and Sacar wanting to transfer. They may look up and realize that with Markus and Sam on the roster, they will never get to be the stars, instead they will always be supporting cast. Now that doesn't mesh with what I've heard about them, but it didn't mesh with what I heard about Traci either.

The only ones I really don't see transferring are Markus, Sam, Morrow, and Joey. But that doesn't mean they couldn't.

Plus, if instant transfers really do become a thing....then all bets are off.

I will be shocked if we make it to 18-19 without any transfers. But I will continue to hope that we will. If someone does transfer, I am confident that are staff will be able to go out and recruit someone better to take his place.

Steve Taylor on line 1.

Harry maybe? Cain probably not.... Everyone else I think sees themselves as having a shot to play good minutes for a potentially really good team next year. As TAMU pointed out this is a fool's errand buy fun none the less. What is the deal with Theo's dad? I think Theo and Morrow could be a B-Eastly duo next year.

Steve Taylor on line 1.

One example doesn't make it likely.  Logically, it makes very little sense to me in regards to Heldt.

Exception more than a rule.  Impressed you found one, went to a mid-major and I am sure that worked for that program.  Now find one where a high major
went to another major.  Matt is not in the same category as a Steve Taylor.  Good gamble for that coach.

I never said it was likely. I was responding to someone who said there was "no chance" that it happened.

Honestly, I think it makes more sense than most of the other players. Matt has had three years to develop and his ceiling appears to be high major role player. He could be a star at the mid major level. Maybe he wants to spend his senior year as a star the way Steve Taylor did.

[Loose Cannon]

So I see Harry is the new Luke for you, hey?

Yep, very similar Bone to hang on to.

But that's beside the point. I'm not saying Matt would transfer to another high major. If he transferred it would absolutely be to a mid or low major. Most mid-majors and all low majors would gladly spend two years of scholarship on a player who would be a starting center and possibly star player for them. It would depend on if Matt likes his role at Marquette or if he wants to be a stud his senior year.

I do not think a mid-major would take him, I would not.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

That's fair. I don't think a mid-major like VCU, Dayton, or Boise State would take him. But I think he could be 12 and 8 kind of guy for a place like Duquesne, LaSalle, or San Francisco.

[Dr. Blackheart]

If there is additional player movement of "Wojo's Guys", I would be mostly surprised at this point in the rebuild.  Of his guys that he signed or committed, he has lost Sandy, Nick, Gabe, Wally, Henry, Traci and Haanif. 

These are mostly explainable to the individual situation. If (a big if) the bleed continues, then there are red flags.  But,  to speculate with so much playing time available right now is a bit too early. And certainly the prgram's balance looks great for next year.

Never stop recruiting!

Wilson had aspirations of playing pro ball.  Matt's future is with his degree.

Maybe, but remember that Dwight Burke is still playing pro ball. If you are good enough to start at a high major, you can probably make a living in some overseas league.

I'm not sure what makes you think he would be a star at a mid-major.

Theo transferring would be a huge blow

Australia has several layers of pro leagues.
