VT freshman 7-footer transferring

[GATA]

Trevor Thompson, a seven-footer that started 11 games for the Hokies as a freshman, will be transferring out of the program, according to a report. He averaged 5.0 points and 4.7 boards.

Thompson was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2013 out of Indianapolis, with interest from programs like Arizona State, Tennessee and Xavier, according to Rivals.

He played for the Eric Gordon All-Stars and is from Wisconsin. Maybe he'd like to play in the B1G?

[TheKamdyMan]

Trade Vucetic for him straight up.

[FredsSlacks]

There's going to be a lot of transfers over the next few weeks.

 

We need a big that can play right away if possible.

It took me a while to figure out that VT was Virginia Tech.  I was thinking to myself, how does a player with interest from Xavier and Tennessee end up at Vermont?  Makes sense now.

did this guy ever get mentioned on here?

That's an impressive list of interested schools.

You should probably change the title of the thread from "VT" to "UVM". I keep thinking the player's from virginia tech...

Bwah!

I think this would be a good pickup for us.  A redshirt transfer isn't like the self-imposed scholarship limit that comes from just having an unoccupied spot.  And a kid with size who can start a few games as a freshman at VT probably has some potential, especially if he sits out a year, builds some strength, and spends some time with Kenya.  I hope this happens, actually.

Twin towers of Hammonds and Thompson could be fun.

[FredsSlacks]

The ideal situation is

 

Hammond redshirting. let him get stronger

Vucetic transferring,

getting thompson, let him redshirt and get stronger.

getting a grad transfer to help this year.

 

Smith and the grad transfer leave after next season, Hammond and Thompson are ready to go for 2015.

I'm down with that.

Maybe I'm too greedy, but I'd like another shooter/scorer to go w/ the bigs...

Gallegos is the only player we are replacing from last year. I think Hawkins and Fuller, and maybe Tarin Smith will be good replacements.

Hopefully the connection with Harriman to that AAU program can help us even in the slightest of ways.

I'm sure Hawkins, Fuller & Smith could help in that regard as well as perhaps Webster in the three-point dep't. That's why I mentioned I'm being too greedy 'cuz it really would be a luxury to have another "assassin" from the perimeter like a Marcus Perry-type!

Visiting Ohio state first Jeff Goodman also said visits to Indiana and Purdue are likely

[Section_316]

We have a better immediate future than all 3 of those programs. We are a bit further east however..

I think you mean further WEST.

Mmmm, schools like OSU and Indiana are gonna be fine. OSU and Indiana consistently bring in good talent. Even with all the turnover this year, it's not a shoe-in that we're going to be better than either of those schools over the next couple of years at all.
