I wonder if this is an indication that Kobe is coming back for another season.

Or as they're reporting on Rivals: "Arope, Woods and Ivan Dragoo are out; will Blanton be next?"

Pretty telling when a guy couldn't get any playing time except for when the game was decided.

Feels like we did him a solid hooking him up with a schollie

Robin Washut is pretty adamant that Banton isn’t going anywhere on Rivals.

I thought he might stick as he is friends with Bryce M.   

 

Best of luck to Mr Wood,  I hope he finds a good spot.

I now count three available scholies for next year. Am I right?

Yes, so far

[Huskerpapa]

Yuppers.  Not a shock.  Never saw him play in bl person...but I wish him well.

[Huskerpapa]

I am guessing one more.

I don't know, but the fact that we were reaching out to point guards for next season probably wasn't a good sign for Mr. Wood either.

Blanton was a hell of a player, it was amazing how he put on 30 pounds in a matter of a couple weeks as a sophomore to move to cente,r even though he was only 6'6"-6'7"; a major reason his team made it to the Final Four.  He then shed the weight and moved back to the wing where he averaged 20 ppg as a senior, just remarkable.

 

He graduated 32 years ago though, so I don't know why he'd be a transfer candidate now.

He saw the writing on the wall, 4 Star recruits aren’t good enough to play here anymore. Good luck to you young man...

Did someone develop a 10-star system and not tell me?

Every transfer tweet seems to say, “former 4-star top recruit”...

whether or not that’s accurate doesn’t seem to matter.

In the immortal words of Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau, "Not anymore."

 He was a former 4 star top 150 guy.  The only problem is he kept dropping down from that initial ranking he got as a sophomore in HS.

I didn’t want to be mean when I saw that tweet. I was excited when we got Elijah’s commit.  Then I saw him play and for the life of me could not figure out how he was ever a top 150 prospect.  Decent measureables but the skill level was very lacking.  I guess that is why he fell out of the top 150 as a senior.
