ESPN had him at a 91 ranking and he was the #28 PF in his class

Once a guy has spent 4 years in college his HS rankings would seemingly be pretty irrelevant.  I'd rather look at production while in college at that point as opposed to production in HS.

 

At this point do you guys expect to use your remaining scholarship or do you think the coaches are going to just save it?  I don't know much about recruiting, but I'd think there isn't a whole lot left out there other than kids who are just now deciding to transfer...

Illinois fans' heads have to be spinning.

 

Guys in; guys out.  Don't try to figure out who's on the roster because it'll be different tomorrow.

 

Growing pains? Or an indicator of things to come?  If the kids don't want to stay at Illinois that's one thing, but Groce is playing a dangerous game with this much turnover.

Remind me of the connection?

There is no connection that I know of.  I just thought it was an interesting situation, so I put it in the "transfers" thread.  I would feel pretty confident saying that he wouldn't be going to Nebraska if he leaves Kentucky, but I just thought it was interesting.  Maybe Kenya Hunter was reruiting him at G'town or something...

We talked about him a while back and I think it was Kamdy that said he knew the family and would be surprised if he left.

 

Ding Ding Ding!

Someone get Kamdy on Nebraska One ASAP.  We have a scholarship to fill!

 

 

LOL yeah my wife knows his dad and actually saw him at the mall the other day.  I'd love to have him at Nebraska because he's a great person that works hard and can play very good basketball.  I dont see it happening though as others have said.  My guess is he ends up coming closer to home.

Holy Crap!  How did you remember where to find the exact post from all the way back in mid-March?

What about this guy?

 

Aaric Murray

 

What about this guy?

 

Aaric Murray

From an article on Aug 4, 2011:

 

The transfer from La Salle spent the summer practicing and working on his game as he tried out for the US Basketball team in the World University Games.

 

Murray had made the first cut when the initial roster of 21 collegiate players from across the country was cut to just 14.

Then on August 3rd, the team was cut to a 12-man roster, of which, Murray was not included.

From an ESPN article today:

 

That's the obvious conclusion from Monday morning's announcement that forward Aaric Murray was leaving Huggins' West Virginia program after just one year at the school. Huggins announced the news without specifics, saying it was the product of a mutual agreement that Murray would be better off playing out his final year of eligibility somewhere else. More likely is the possibility -- reported by CBS Sports' Jeff Borzello -- that Murray was dismissed from the team following another brush with trouble. Before he transferred to WVU, Murray earned a reputation for prickliness at La Salle; during his 2011-12 transfer holdover year, he was arrested in charged with marijuana possession.

Whatever the issues behind it, the latest edition in Murray's rambling story makes him the fifth player to transfer out of Morgantown this offseason. Previously, guards Jabarie Hinds and Aaron Brown and forwards Keaton Miles and Volodymyr Gerun asked for their release. Of that group, only Hinds was a key contributor in WVU's 2012-13 season. Hinds -- with his high turnover rate (20.8 percent), horrendous shooting percentages (38.9 from 2, 27.6 from 3, 8), and gawd-awful offensive rating (85.5) -- was emblematic of the atrocious offense that made last season such a nightmare for Mountaineers fans. His departure is addition by subtraction.

That's a more difficult argument to make about Murray. Even as WVU struggled last season, Murray posted a 106.4 offensive rating, grabbed 23.7 percent of available defensive rebounds, and posted a tidy 8.6 percent block rate. Even were he not skilled enough to shoot 51.7 percent inside the arc -- with a solid post-up game and a reliable 15-foot jumper -- his numbers say he's a major asset on the defensive end of the floor. That's why Huggins, like a handful of other schools, was eager to take Murray on after he left La Salle, and it's why most observers pegged the Mountaineers to have a resurgent season in 2012-13.
