Well I got egg on my face pretty quick

Meh. Happens to the best. We're all just trying to read the tea leaves. I like your positivity.

ABC...Always Be 'Cruiting. They may have "silent verbals" from Turner, Carton, and Mane, but until they sign, never hurts to keep pressing. Look at Tale, sure he went back to Duke, but he committed to a transfer to change his mind shortly thereafter

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Thumbs up

Kid is good!!!

[wadesworld]

So now we're getting not 1 but 3 silent verbals? Nice.

[Lennys Tap]

Is it good or bad that MU has no one in the transfer portal?

Good: players like MU, coaches, teammates, etc.

Bad: MU has no players who could make a lateral move via transfer.

Probably both.

I hope the "good" is true.

I know the "bad" is.

I think every single one of our scholarship players could make a lateral move if they chose to. Maybe not any upward moves, but lateral? Sure.

J.Turner, Carton, J.Antonio, K.Mane, DeJulius are all Done Deals

Do folks here really think that another Big East team wouldn't find room for Theo, Bailey or Symir, to name three? Really?

Or Koby, Jamal or Greg, to name three more?

So when you said you knew it was true none of our players could make a lateral move you meant...3 of 6 listed players?

[BM1090]

I think all three of them could find lateral options.

Of course they could.
When an average Patriot League player like Jimmy Sotos  can land at Ohio State or Drew Peterson is getting recruited by Big 10, Big East and SEC programs, it's silly to think Greg Elliott or Brendan Bailey or Symir would draw lesser interest.

It's also silly to think there is any limit to the silliness of Scoopers sometimes.

I remember Buzz doing a lot of quirky shizz but this one escapes me

[Boston Warrior]

Matt Haarms would be a great get for Marquette.

[Tha Hound]

We are in jamarius burton's final 4

[The Thing]

Yes, he just cut out Ohio State. I could see him as an impact player at MU.

Not surprising at all since they got a commit from Sotos yesterday

No MU player could make a lateral move?  This is not correct.  The quality of transfers that land at high major schools is often below our current roster. 

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

U r an idiot!!

Rich coming from you.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Seems like a totally unnecessary attack on a young person you don't know at all.

You'll be thrilled to know, however, that it sounds like everybody but Marquette is on his list.

Thank goodness. We'd hate to get a talented 7-footer on the team.

This post was unlike you, JJJJJJJJJ, so I just assume you're having a bad day.

Meh. I stand by it. Ive watched Haarms / Purdue a lot over the years. He's a gigantic douche on the court. I said he'd be useful (he would). I'm not going to throw a fit or anything if MU gets him (they won't). But he is not a likable player at all.

[Lennys Tap]

I think all three of them could find lateral options.

If they wanted to sit at the end of the bench, probably.

If they wanted to play, I doubt it.

We've had a ton of guys "transfer down" from the MU program (Blankson, Amoroso, Mortenson, Hazel, R Smith, Steve Taylor Jr., Traci Carter, Cheatham, etc.). With the exception of Blankson, "meh" players - like Koby, Greg and Jamal.

Different for the really talented ones (Mason, Maymon, McKey, Burton, Mbakwe, Hauser and Hauser). Always be a high major looking for guys like that.

I wouldn't call ODB's transfer a downward one. Early 2000s UNLV was not a step down from early 2000s MU.
Also, you're making a (false) assumption that those kids chose the absolute best program they could have, rather than chose the program that offered what they wanted and weren't getting at Marquette (namely, significant playing time).

Essentially, the kinds of offers and interest that lesser players are getting on the transfer market today disproves what you're saying.

If you want to put Blankson with the laterals, fine. As I said, by skill level he belonged there.

I made no false assumptions. Just pointed out the truth. If their goal was to play, they would have to transfer down. If they were OK with riding the pines, a lateral move was a possibility.
