2017-18 Transfer list

[The Polish Rifle]

People like to point to Minnesota as a blueprint for a turn around - the reason Minnesota was able to make such a massive turn around is Reggie Lynch and Akeem Springs, both D1 transfers. I know Lynch had some off the court issues, but sometimes you need to take a flyer on a guy like that.

Especially when you aren't a duke, Kansas or Kentucky

so are we looking at this as more of a Marcus Foster type situation then?

Because you need to win now and in order to do that, you need talent, especially at the position he plays.   He's proven to be a productive player.  

 

White was a stain too...don't tell me that we were better off without him this year.

 

Scoring isn't everything. His shooting percentage sucks. This isn't fantasy basketball. 

 

I will trust my source on why we wouldn't want him.

[bigFRED]

Where are you seeing that Egor has any problems off the court? Just assuming for no reason?

On a team that struggled to score, while losing its best scorer....I'd say it's a pretty big thing to think about.

[hskr4life]

We do not need problems on the team.  Can't afford to take someone who might present a problem.  I say we throw that kid back and fish some more.  I'm with Jug on this one... there will be plenty more to go around.

You're talking about Brown here, right?

I think we're all a little confused here.  I went back and read this thread and you started it off talking about Tevin Mack (who appears to have some discipline problems) then about three posts in, @nustudent mentions Brown.

 

Yeah, I think several of us may be talking about completely different things...

Wouldn't mind looking at some of the Washington Huskies Signees for this coming year. With their coach getting fired 2 of them already got their release. Was a top 5 recruiting class.

A.   What's that have to do with this.

B.   Not advocating taking a rapist

C.   Last I checked, his on the field stuff panned out.

Your C is my point, his "on the field stuff" worked out because he took chances on sketchy character guys. Once you start down a path of justifying taking talent at the expense of character so your on the field stuff pans out, it's a slippery slope. One I think we are better to avoid.

if miles can't land mark smith, he needs to go all in and get 2 big time grad transfers. Miles needs to put a winning team on the court next year.

Again...not advocating taking rapists here.    

 

And Im not so concerned about some sketchy character guys.   Most teams that win have some of those guys.   Key is finding balance.

This years team I feel is stronger than years past in dealing with possible distractions. Guys like Taylor, Jacobsen, Morrow won't let such distractions eat the team away like years past, if we were ever to take players with character issues this would be the team to assimilate them with

I don't think we've ever landed 1 big time grad transfer. I want to say Moses Abraham is the only one I can recall.

And his knee bent the wrong way.

[Huskerpapa]

I like the idea of a graduate transfer...but I would eventually like us to move away from transfers and start building our foundation from bottom up. 

[Silverbacked1]

I need a score card please.. 

 

I am am not sure who scores a lot, shoots a lot, or gets in trouble a lot.

If we want to go PF/C with our guard use of the schollie.  Probably not but  happens to be a former HS teammate of Evan Taylor

6-8" 230 Frosh from Pitt,

Didn't have a good year at Pitt. Former 3 star with offers from Maryland and Miami among others.

Would be in the same class as Nana

[hskr4life]

Damon Wilson- Former 4* SG who never really amounted to much at Pitt.

 

Not much that is immediately eligible YET

i'm aware, but Miles has to win this year so why would he bring in 2 guys who have to sit out?

Because he's planning on winning this year and figures he'll also need players for the years following?

Were we not trying to bring in big time grad transfers before?
