Transfer List

[CountryRoads]

The MU twitterverse seems very anti Jayce Johnson.  I get it a little bit, he doesn't seem like an awesome fit, but I will always take depth.  Even if he is used purely as a depth piece at the 5.  Theo fouls like crazy and Ed has always been a big injury concern.

Johnson commits fouls at a rate close to theo's. It would be hammer ball down there for sure. Not sure he's a good fit but also wouldn't mind having the extra depth there. I don't think morrow or John have the skills to move to the 4 unfortunately.

Yah, I mean he doesn't really get me excited either.  But I'd definitely take the depth.  We're an Ed or Theo injury away from being dangerously short on anything resembling front court depth.

[94Warrior]

Yes, please.  We need another rebounder/rim protector. 

This would allow Ed to get more PT at the 4, which is one of the reasons he transferred in the first place.
I would no mind seeing a lineup of:
Theo or Jayce
Ed or Jamal
Brendan or Sacar
Greg or Kobe
Markus or Dexter

Other than Ed saying he wanted to play the 4, is there anything at all indicating that he has the skill set to do so?  I mean, we all saw his results when shooting from outside of 5 feet, and the stats experts can correct me if I am wrong but I didn't see good results when he was asked to guard in space.

How is he going to be effective at the 4 at either end of the court?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

In the right offensive system, Ed could absolutely play the 4 with Theo/Jayce. It would require a new offensive look for us that we have not seen in the Wojo era. If the staff are willing to go in that direction it could absolutely work. Or they could not change and Jayce would push Theo and Ed for the starter's job. He'd be a valuable pickup either way.

I think he answer to that question is no.  The stats bear our that he was a pretty horrific defender on contesting outside shots. Obviously the sample size is small and he played the 5 either 100% to close to 100% while he was on the court, so ya never know.  But I think the concern is that he wouldn't stretch the floor at all at the 4 and would struggle to guard quicker PFs.

Also....saw on Twitter that Rayjon Tucker is currently in Milwaukee.  Posted a picture of the Bucks practice facility.  No word that he is actually visiting Marquette, but thought it was worth sharing.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

I'm thinking John and Johnson would be the primary centers.  Ed would be a PF & 3rd C.

Marquette could still play a stretch 4 for 20-25 minutes.  Though not ideal, Johnson adds depth and another option for Wojo.

that's kind of an NCAA and NBPA violation right there if it's part of an official visit.

[tower912]

770 D1 transfers this year.  And the number keeps growing.  769 reasons why.

[dw3dw3dw3]

Don't wanna speculate too much but I'd keep an eye on Jordan Lathon from UTEP next year.

6'4" point guard Was a high major recruit before his admission denial from Northwestern. Had a really nice Freshman campaign at UTEP last season.

That would be a shocker. Don't think MU would go there.

[The Sultan]

Jayce to MU!

How so?  Maybe he knows one of the players/coaches?

[Herman Cain]

I saw that.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Passed the 800 mark last night.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Passed the 800 mark last night.

For those keeping track at home, that is 17% of all D1 players.  The percentage is actually a little higher than that as that assumes ALL 365 used each of their 13 scholarships, which obviously is not the case.

So what you're saying is the "mutiny" at MU is...less than the average number of exits per NCAA D1 men's basketball team?

Huh.

Yes and no. Two transfers is nothing. But it is very rare to see projected starters transfer from a perceived top 10 team.

[Nukem2]

Yes and no. Two transfers is nothing. But it is very rare to see projected starters transfer from a perceived top 10 team.

Especially when they averaged almost 34 and 30 mpg on an NCAA team and took 602 shots between them.

Character revealed

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Obviously nothing official yet, but I heard rumbling that he was putting out the feelers.

No MU mention in those rumbling but he's a good player.

[wadesworld]

Yes and no. Two transfers is nothing. But it is very rare to see projected starters transfer from a perceived top 10 team.

But it's also probably fairly rare to have two starters for a perceived top 10 team being brothers.

Mustapha Herron was 1st in points and 3rd in rebounds per game for SEC champion Auburn and he decided to transfer, and even AFTER the transfer Auburn went into the season ranked 11th/12th.  If he had a freshman brother who was starting at Auburn they probably would've seen 2 starters transfer as well.

Stuff happens.  This was not a mutiny, despite what the meat lovers will have you believe.

Do we know of an instance where this EVER happened?

I am not sure how good Memphis would of been, but they had brothers transfer to Kansas.
