A graduate transfer really isn't a "project."

Jose Perez isn't a grad transfer.

Sorry.  You are correct.

I was doing some research on Courvoisier McCauley. His team was D2 but they finished the season 32-1. Not only that, but they lost their first game of the season, so they started 0-1 and finished on a 32 game win streak. Not only that, but the one loss as in OT to another team that finished 32-1 and #4 in the national rankings. Not only that but they had more wins by 40+ (6) then they did by by single digits (4).

McCauley was a dominant player for a very dominant team. On paper, I think he could play big minutes, even at a high major.

McCauley just committed to DePaul.  Following in the footsteps of Max Strus.

I mean it makes sense, but also - you gotta be kidding me.

Something $tinks with this one...literally. The kid was in the portal for a day or two.

Marcus Santos-Silva...He's only 6'7" but kid is a BEAST of a rebounder, and can score. Also can only play inside, which is perfect for this team. Had 12pts 17 rebounds, and 12 points 9 rebounds against Obi this year, also had 22-11 against Tennessee, 19 and 2 against Purdue, and 19-11 against LSU. Also had a game last year of 26 points and 22 rebounds.

MU seems to reach out to every transfer

I would take Santos-Silva over pretty much all transfers that are currently out there if he can be eligible now. Plays bigger than he is and is a walking double double. Unclear if he has graduated or eligble for immediate play, but I have not read anything to indicate that.

He intends to be a grad transfer...he has a couple of classes to finish up this summer and then will be. as of this second he is not. But will be. I agree 100%...he would be my #1 target without question. Go HARD after him. The fact he will be a grad transfer is absolutely perfect imo.

From other things I read, it sounds like he could get Kentucky attention, with Terrence Clark lobbying for him. But for now they have not reached out.

I don't see it, they are about to land Matt Haarms, and have a bunch of guys coming in the same size or bigger than Santos-Silva. Anything is possible, but as of now they haven't contacted him. He is by far my #1 target for MU from what's left. I work hard to get this one done.

Yea this one would be in the category of amazing get.

Entire squad would be transformed if Carton and this dude were playing next season, both guys would start off the bat.

Theo at the 5 with Santos-Silva at the 4 and Garcia at the 3, Koby and Carton in the backcourt is just damn near too exciting of a projected 5. Tack on Oso, Lewis, Cain, Elliott, Symir, BB?, Akanno, etc off the bench and look out. Gives you so much versatility too, and that's without even bringing Mane into the equation.

Only real issue there would be several guys that could only be around for one season so you'd have to re load next offseason but who cares. When has MU ever had that problem in recent memory?

This is a LOL for Kentucky...you love to see it, the tone on their board changed drastically from last night when they thought he was signed, sealed delivered..

Not as funny if it impacts us with Santos-Silva though

[bilsu]

Probably scared away Mane.

[Billy Hoyle]

He can absolutely light it up from downtown. Plays on one of the top D2 teams in the country. And before anyone questions if he'd be overwhelmed at the D1 level, remember Max Strus?? He had no problems, and Freddie Mitchell from Baylor came from DIII.

Duncan Robinson went from D3 Williams to Michigan to the Heat. Some guys just fall through the cracks.

True, however, they hadn't reached out to him YET, now this could change things of course, but idk if he fits what they want, I mean they will have 4 guys his size or bigger anyway, though none real true post players like he is. Man oh man do I want Santos- Silva badly. Add Mane to that and...MY GOD. You could have a starting 5 of...Carton, Mane, Garcia, Santos-Silva, Theo. That's a legit top 15 team IMO. What an incredible job that would be by Wojo and staff if he pulls that off.

    For those asking about VCU transfer Marcus Santos-Silva, I don't believe he is a serious candidate for Kentucky at this time. https://t.co/Hr6VZsoX8R

So I did a little more digging on Santos-Silva, turns out he and Symir were teammates at Vermont Academy and obviously know each other very well. I'd also assume Killings has major contacts there.

I'm not sure that's true. Santos-Silva was a 2017 recruit & did his 2016-17 year there. In 2016-17, according to Marquette's website, Torrence was at Syracuse Science Academy. Not saying they don't know each other, but pretty sure they didn't play together at Vermont Academy.

Okay, I guess that makes sense..I couldn't find a roster for Vermont academy for 2016-2017. I knew Santos-Silva graduated in 2017 and just assumed Symir was there then. They do know each other though, I'm certain of that. Regardless, Killings has good contacts with Vermont Academy, so i can't help but get excited at the possibility of this happening.

[brewcity77]

If he posts a list of 4 or so and we're on it, I'll start getting invested. Otherwise, Marquette is just one name on a list of  at least a dozen schools to reach out. And it wouldn't at all be clear he would start here with Theo on the roster.

Need a proven 2 guard.  I would be OK with Greg if i knew he could stay healthy

Wow, this is a big get for UWM...
