Southern Miss. transfer Gabe Watson has heard from Maryland, Marquette, Georgetown, Colorado State, Tulane, Tulsa, Mississippi State, San Diego, amongst others, he told @Stockrisers
.

Has two years of eligibility remaining. Averaged 13 points per game on 40% shooting.

MU could have reached out some time ago. Hopefully it's just a sign of them doing their due diligence in the transfer market as opposed to report within the last couple of days.

Idk, he just entered the portal two days ago

He's a terrible shooter...42% overall last year and under 30% from 3 both years at S. Miss

Land Carton. That's it, land Carton. With Garcia, O, Lewis AND Carton, that's a heck of an incoming haul. Land Carton. That's it.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Realistically, one of Turner, Burton or Carton would be a good get. Reading tea leaves, not expecting good news tomorrow on Turner and Burton, but still hopeful.

Still don't understand the lack of interest in even a role playing big for one of the 3 openings.

Gotcha. Maybe not a very good sign indeed. Looks like we may have to bank on DJ or Dejulius.

Me personally, I'd rather they not waste a scholarship on someone like this. I understand it's a need, but I'd rather use all 3 scholarships on the most talent you can possibly get , regardless of position. Maybe they feel the same way.

I think it means they are confident in Garcia & Lewis being able to back up Theo.

There will be more transfer announcements to come, so who knows what the next couple weeks might hold.

Yah, we know. You want MU to recruit like we're Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, and Kansas. Except MU is none of those things.

Probably due to the lack of an NCAA win the past 7 seasons. Just a guess.

Okay so..are they going up against blue bloods for the transfers they are currently in on?? Is that asking them to recruit like those schools?? Look at Turner's list...look at Burton's list..look at all the info, quotes by the kids, location to home, etc, and tell me why it's unrealistic to think MU couldn't(and maybe even shouldn't) win a recruiting battle for Turner against Missouri and Iowa St, and a recruiting battle against SH, Xavier and Texas Tech for Burton, when the kid himself stated he wants to play fast and that is VERY important to him. Even without that, those schools aren't impossible to recruit against, certainly not blue bloods right??

UNLV grad transfer Amauri Hardy has committed to Oregon, per his Twitter page.

Immediately eligible.

Those numbers are better than (overall) and equal (deep) to POY Myles Powell of Seton Hall.

But the 'intangibles'

[MU82]

Coach goes 14-19, finishes in last place in his conference, comes right out and says he should be fired. Then, after season, he loses out on good transfer even though it was transfer's "dream school" and even though it was transfer's dad's alma mater.

Name that horrible coach.

I know this one; it was Whofa Kincares. Nailed it.

Roy Williams. Now what's your point

[HutchwasClutch]

Who by the way, can talk big and bold about school firing him because he knows pigs will fly before that happens.

Wojo is now following Justin Turner....

gotta have a pt. guard. Straw that stirs the margarita. When was that last pure pt. guard at MU...Tony Miller? With a DJ Carton, MU will roll.

You're kidding with that question I hope.

Carton would be a pretty big coup to land.

...but MU could be. Dump the loser attitude. MU can be Elite again. Go get it!!!

What? We're changing rules on Scoop now? We need to have "a point" when we post something?

Actually, it was that even Hall of Fame coaches at bluebloods sometimes "lose" recruits/transfers despite it seeming as if their schools should be absolute no-brainers. And I was just imagining Scoop's response if our coach (doesn't have to be Wojo; any MU hoops coach) would lose out on a kid whose dad went to Marquette and who called Marquette his "dream school." Especially after a 14-19, last-place season.

But I did like NickelDimer's response.
