Anyway, anyone else find it interesting that Burton is announcing Monday when that is also possibly the same date Turner announces??

Hopefully not Wojo on Monday

Boy this would be incredibly disappointing..like HUGE. Getting Turner would be a fantastic get, do not get me wrong, but I had been getting really excited at the idea that they could land two legitimate top of the market transfers. So yes, while Carton is still out there(but been so quiet no one knows what's up with that) and they could end up with Carton and Turner, and it will would be all great, it just suddenly feels like all they may get is one of those...But if they could only get one, Turner would be the one I want and yet, it would still be disappointing to only land him..that would be a huge buzzkill, though still good, if that makes any sense??

I guess there is also the possibility, given the timing of when Burton is announcing that Wojo backed off because he feels pretty good about landing Turner.

I'd be thrilled if we land a single one of the top 10 transfers out there. Every team in the country is shopping for these players. Look at guys like Tape who ends up at Duke. He's not even good and he's going to arguably the best program in the country.

I would expect no more than one difference maker.

fair to say these are/were MU "A" options:

A.Griffin
C.Jones
J.Turner - next 72 hours
J.Burton - next 72 hours
DJ Carton - who the hell knows
Mane
DeJulius

as long as Wojo doesn't come out of this with just Jonah Antonio or something...

I honestly appreciate how quick you've been on updates with the transfers, guru.
But man......take a few breaths.  We'll be alright.

Agree. Landing more than one transfer who expects major minutes and I think we start seeing some pretty major shakeups with the current roster. Depending on who you ask, that may or may not be a big deal.

I'm not even taking current roster makeup into consideration. I just think playing the percentages there's too much competition for even mediocre transfers to think that MU will land two difference makers.

Give me one and let's see what happens.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

We need two transfers, if Koby plays even more than spot minutes at the PG spot MU will have another under achieving year.  MU underachieved last year imo, because our PG play was a trainwreck with koby.  He ma ybe ok as a role player at the 2 or 3.  If we cannot do better than Koby at the point then we will be in for another underacheiving season.  Cant have the Keystone Kop at PG again

Sy will be the starting PG, book it.

I think it all depends on waivers/immediate eligibility.  Carton may be natural waiver candidate, but I don't really think Burton is.  Only way I see Burton getting a waiver is if the NCAA basically does blanket waivers.  Carton may also want to take a RS year to get his personal stuff sorted out, which is worth keeping in mind. 

I guess what I am trying to say is a Carton commit may scare off Turner, but I think Turner will commit before Carton based on what we know.  I don't think a Turner commit will scare off Carton at all - I think Burton may have more of a factor on Carton.

In any event, getting 2 of those 3 would be a pretty big win for Wojo and Co.

Oh I think that is highly doubtful.

ESPN is reporting that the NCAA will meet 4/24 to discuss the one time transfer waiver and then vote on 5/20 for 20/21 implementation.  Will also discuss various NIL proposals.

Yah, the talking heads have been saying they think the one time transfer without sitting out will be implemented for 21/22 season.  But perhaps the NCAA does a blanket waiver for all transfers this year due to Coronavirus - its possible.

Why do you think that?

[The Sultan]

Why do you think that?

Because I don't think he is nearly as good on both ends of the floor as his Scoop reputation. The only possible way I see it is if we strike out on transfers.

Fair enough. I guess we differ in abilities, plus I have a suspicion he has been given the keys to the car by Wojo (hence his tweet from awhile back).

David DeJulius is down to four, and MU is one of them:

This is great news. Looks like MU, ISU and Mizzou are in close competition for the top transfers on the market (Burton, Dejulius and Turner). Which would make one thing there's a good chance of us landing at least one (and likely only one).

Interestingly enough, Koby started follwing him on twitter, and just now, Ben Steele started following him.

[Pakuni]

@jakeweingarten: Michigan transfer David DeJulius is down to his final-four schools, he told @Stockrisers: Iowa State, Cincinnati, Marquette and Missouri. He had 20+ high-major programs reach out.

I know how disappointed you were that Wojo landed Garcia, Doc, so it's not too surprising that you're rooting harder than ever for the "Green Wienie" now.

You'll have to forgive the rest of us for hoping you don't get to celebrate this time, either.

Yep. of all the times to be bitter. Now?

Remember Al McGuire?  That was awesome
