Transfer List

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.

He is declared for the NBA Draft so I am assuming he was there for a work out at the bucks practice facility but maybe he visited Marquette while he was here.

Bucks started working out players for the draft yesterday.

Do we know of an instance where this EVER happened?

Two players? Off the top of my head no. But I think Wades point is fair that brothers do make it a special situation. There have been other instances of a single player transferring from a top 10 team despite being a starter.

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.

And yet, people scoffed when someone around here once said that over 40% of D-I basketball players transfer.  Looks like the number could be closer to 51% now.

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

Oh, and another pet peeve of mine, Bilsu - it's would have, should have, could have.  Or you could just use the contraction, should've.  Or even Brooklynese - shoulda.




Thanks for letting me get this off of my chest.

So if Scooter and Rodney McCray had transferred it would have amounted to losing only one starter from a top 10 team because they were brothers? Somehow I don't think Denny Crum or the Louisville faithful would have looked at it that way.

Did I say it amounted to losing 1 starter?

Are we still recruiting any potential transfers, or are we done? I assume that the big minutes are pretty well distributed at this point and it would be hard to recruit a guy into 5-10ish minutes.

No more Grad transfers that we've been mentioned with. Jemarl Baker from Kentucky is a sit-out transfer and is supposedly going to visit. I would be surprised if he doesn't go west though.

Somehow I think Denny Crum would have a warm tingle of laughter comparing the Hauser boys to the McCrays who each played a number of years in the NBA.

[WarriorDad]

The McCrays were compensated to well to look to transfer anywhere.  Louisville is corrupt.

I haven't seen any updates on transfers where Marquette is pursuing.

The only one who somehwat intrigues me (at this point) is Brandonn Kamga from High Point. 

SF, 6-5, 220, can play PF in spots due to 7 FT wing span, very respectable at the 3PT line, not very quick though

maybe he would be interested in spot minutes at the highest level to open up the floor for a team that is expected to be pretty good.

When betting the light side - unless you're playing one Pass bet at a time (boring) - you'll always have chips on the table after a win... sure, you can pull back your place and odds bets when you hit your point, but nobody ever does it, which virtually guarantees that every player betting the light side won't walk away until the board 7's-out.

Conversely, the primary advantage to the dark side is that on a 7-out, no action remains, which makes it extremely convenient to walk away from the table on a win. 

The last bet may not seem like it matters after you've been at the table all night, but considering that players have a tendency to wager more at the end of a session, whether they're winning or losing, this really messes up the player models that calculate the "natural odds" of a game (given a certain set of rules). Natural odds are calculated based on the assumption that everything is random, including when the player walks away from the table, but the natural odds are often not the "true odds" at a craps table, because not only is the final bet often more than the average wager, but playing the light side means that said final bet will always be a loss.  So the "true odds" of playing the dark side are actually much better than 0.5%... depending on how much and how long you play, it could be more than 5% if you live by the 20x bankroll rule of thumb.

The casinos know this... which is why they help perpetuate the negative stigma of the dark side.  Getting dirty looks from other players is one thing, but nothing brings out the stick's passive-aggression like someone playing the dark side at a full table.

You are saying words and I know what those words mean.  But I have no idea what this post is saying.  Gambling, like so many other things, truly has a language all to it's own.

sure, let's take a guy with a history of knee injuries and hasn't played a full season since 2017-18.

You get 13 scholarships.  I'd take him in a heartbeat.  Maybe he doesn't work out.  Oh well.

I'd also take Kevin Durant on the Bucks despite his history of leg injuries and missing all of one season and most of another.
