[Paint Touches] Traditional Transfer Tracker

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

https://painttouches.com/2018/04/03/2018-transfer-tracker-april-3rd-edition/

We already got the free agent tracker up and running. Here is our list/analysis of the top 15 available traditional transfers (surprise, Marquette is recruiting two of them). We have 15 bonus names on there as well. This list has everything, point guards, wings, forwards, centers, and even a scoop Easter egg or two if you look hard enough.

I don't think you know how to define "traditional"

[GB Warrior]

 Which one comps out to Derrick Wilson

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I am all for Carton or Wilson in the 2019 class, but grabbing a traditional transfer PG (in addition to a grad transfer point) wouldn't be bad idea.

This may seem way out there but how about Isiah Brown as a transfer from Northwestern? Thought he was a tremendous talent his freshman year, but for whatever reason didn't seem to click with the Northwestern coaching staff this season and saw his minutes drop.

He could just be terrible, but he's a slashing point guard with decent height.

Any pogo sticks on this list? We need a 6-7 6-8 strong athletic type who can compliment some of the softer type players we have  .

Meh. We need a PG.

So he can squish them?

I like that, though i would prefer Carr.

Agreed.

I'm not convinced we need a traditional transfer PG but certainly wouldn't mind it. I'm a fan of best player available for our second scholarship.

Ed Morrow?

[JakeBarnes]

Should we have a new thread for traditionals that transfer traditionally?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Ed Morrow?

Ed, Theo, Sam, Joey.  MUFINY knows this, his post is more of his performance art schtick.

This tweet is written weird...first it makes it sound like he is visiting Iowa State, MU and Grand Canyon all this weekend...LOL Second of all, if you read the comments CJ Moore(the author of the tweet) responds to an Iowa State fan asking if there as an official visit set to Iowa State yet, and he says No just the in home, so I THINK this tweet is just referring to who he has in home visits with, although it isn't written that way  .

So while on other college basketball themed corners of the internet, I came across this graphic:



I can’t speak for its accuracy, but a few things pop out.  North Carolina hasn’t had transfers out since 2010 (why leave if you get to play basketball without ever going to class?).  There are successful teams with many transfers (Virginia) and few (UNC).  There are bad teams with many transfers (BC) and few (Georgia Tech).

So I thought I’d compare this to the Big East.  I calculated this by looking at recruiting classes and rosters.  If you were in the “recruiting class”, appeared on the roster, but were not on the roster for four (or five) years, you’re on the list, even if you didn’t “transfer” to another school.  I also didn’t dig deeply to see who is transferring this year, but I included the ones I know about, like Froling and Lovett.  I guarantee I made mistakes, but this should give you an idea.

Villanova: 4
Butler: 7
Creighton: 7
Georgetown: 7
Providence: 8
Xavier: 8
Seton Hall: 9
DePaul: 11
Marquette: 11 (Froling, Cheatham, Carter, Cohen, Du Wilson, Burton, Dawson, Taylor, Ferguson, Jones, Smith)
St. John’s: 12

This list, which took me way too long to put together, looks a lot scarier than the ACC list, since the teams at the bottom of this list have been mostly bad.  Butler weathered two coaching changes with only seven transfers!

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Missed a few for Marquette. Jeronne Maymon, Jameel McKay and Gabe Levin off the top of my head.

Maymon was recruited before 2010. I didn’t count guys who never appeared on a roster, most teams had 2-3 of those too

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

North Carolina may have had no true transfers,  but they've had a few players transfer after discipline issues. For example Jalek Felton didn't get kicked out,  but he was suspended from the team and decided to transfer before going through the conduct process.

What should stand out here is the bottom three also seem to have been playing in the first round of Big East tournament.

@GoodmanESPN: Utah State transfer Koby McEwen has a final 3 of Creighton, Grand Canyon and Marquette, sources  told ESPN. Averaged 15.6 points per game last season.

Have to think that with Wojo talking to Carton and Watts that Koby is leaning our way, yes? It'll be interesting to see how this one shakes out.
