Former MU players still in college thread

[DoctorV]

From the Sconnie v Illini pregame blurb

A second-team All-American last season and the preseason pick as Big Ten player of the year, Cockburn is averaging 21.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game. He is joined by Oakland's Jamal Cain as the nation's only players averaging at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Even though he's tapered off some, really nice year for Jamal.

Oakland now 17-5 and 10-1 in Conference, Jamal had 26 and 12 in his last game, a win over UIC. Hope the Golden Grizzlies make the dance.

Your Big Sky coverage is lacking. Koby having a year too.

As is Jose Perez over at Manhattan but the Jaspers are struggling more than Oakland and Weber St

Yeah, of transfers, all 3 from MU rank in the top 50.  Cain at #24, Perez #33, McEwen #37.

None of the transfers into MU made the top 50, which surprised me.

It's sorted by "Points Over Replacement Per Adjusted Game At That Usage!", so no surprise Morsell, Kolek, Kuath, and Prosper don't make it.   Torvik doesn't appear to have a combined defensive rating to sort by (the world loves offense).

edit: Just realized Garcia doesn't show up anywhere on his transfers.  I donno...

Koby and the Weber State team are doing well. Have the same 17-5 overall record and 10-1 conference record that Oakland has . Koby must be enjoying this season.

Weber plays a fun up tempo style of basketball.  He's shining, good for him. Hopefully setting himself up for some higher level Euro action next season

My junior year, I got some higher level Euro action. Damn, I miss her!

That was at the height of the Cold War, right before the Cuban Missile Crisis, so you were being used by a spy.

Koby is Canadian, so he can also easily be on a pro team in Canada as a local. That is what Junior did.

Nobody does it better ... makes me feel sad for the rest ... nobody does it half as good as you ... baby, you're the best.

[zcg2013]

Not a former player, but this is sad to see.

Yea but that league is awful and the pay stinks, I highly doubt that is his ambition.

All 3 moved down to mid majors and are having success at that level.

Agreed!  Not bemoaning that they left, or aren't on the team.  Though impressive those 3 can be top 50 in offensive stats.  Not every player that moved down makes that top 50.  In fact, looking at the list, it looks like ~20 moved down, ~20 moved up, and ~10 went lateral.  Give or take a few counting in either direction.

Excellent article on Dexter Akanno. Seems to be enjoying Oregon State

Kind of forgot about him. Glad he's happy.

Myocarditis from COVID.  That sucks.  Great attitude toward life and giving back.

Wtf happened to Oregon St?

From Elite 8 to 3-18?

They weren't getting into the dance last year without winning the Pac-12 tournament and caught a heater.

They also lost Ethan Thompson who was their one bonafide star player.
