Still don't see why that would translate into some kind of "agenda."

I think what DCH is getting at is that some grad transfers decide to transfer in order to "showcase" themselves in order to get to the NBA (or other professional league). Which is true, some grad transfers do that. Part of Duane's transfer was a desire to showcase his PG ability. This might lead some to believe that a grad transfer might be more selfish and put their own needs above the needs of the team.

This is certainly possible, but I honestly don't see grad transfers being a bigger risk to be selfish than any other player. A traditional transfer, an incoming freshman, or a four year senior could choose to be just as selfish as any grad transfer. I don't think we have to worry with JC, one I hear he's a pretty selfless guy....willing to give his life for others...Two, the best way to "showcase" himself as a PG next season would be to prove that he can make the other players on the floor better.

One thing that is overlooked about JC is that he is a full grown man. He is already 23 and will be 24 before the end of the non-conference season. Could be wrong but I think his age will give him some maturity...I don't think we will have to worry about him buying into the team.

Damn, I was out of college for 3 years before I was 24.  I am jealous.

Great perspective, TAMU.

He's probably more mature than I am now ... and I'm at least 24!

Same thought, agreed.  Never know. I will say it might be better than getting a Grimes who is thinking of one thing and one thing only, one and done.

Xavier is trying for their fourth grad transfer this offseason by going for Tramaine Isabell. Averaged 21 points a game at Drexel. Seton Hall is also involved. He could make a big impact for either team.

Geno Crandall could be a big get for a team

And it looks like it's Minny(if Richard makes room) or Xavier and their 17 grad transfers

After flirting with Villanova, Reid Travis (the best transfer on the market this season) ends up with Kentucky.

Means we have a better shot at a Big East title this season....but man do I hate seeing the rich get richer. Kentucky is going to be stupid good next season.
