Paschal Chukwu 2015 C Providence transfer -> Syracuse

[Hskr]

This kid was never going to Kansas anyway. He was worried about playing time at Providence, do you think he wanted to sit at Kansas.

That's not necessarily true as you don't know why he is transferring.  Maybe he want's to play in a Final Four and if so, KU would be a pretty good choice of schools.  Or he just doesn't get along with the coach.  Could be transferring for a number of reasons.  I just hope that we have everything he is looking for as this would be a major get for Nebraska.

I don't know about you guys, but I keep checking the thread every hour or so hoping to see that he's N.

You mean you have the willpower to wait a whole hour?!?!

[KarlHessEatMy....]

Kansas people are still talking about this guy committing to them and someone else transferring out of Kansas to make room!!

Maybe he is worried about PT...but I don't think that's the main reason.  Have you taken a gander at Providence's roster? They are in need of size as badly as we are.  If he would have stayed he would have received quality minutes.

Former Fairfield Prep star and Connecticut boys’ basketball player of the year Paschal Chukwu will transfer from Providence College, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.

 

The 7-2 Nigerian native led the Jesuits to back-to-back Class LL state title game appearances in 2013-14, but averaged just 2.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10 minutes per game for the Friars as a freshman last season.

 

He likely believed he’d see more playing time in his first season under former Fairfield University head coach Ed Cooley, who had begun recruiting Chukwu heavily when the big man arrived at Fairfield Prep. But for whatever reason, Chukwu wasn’t able to crack the Friars’ rotation, which included 7-foot senior Carson Desrosiers and 6-8 freshman Ben Bentil.

 

“I would like to wish Paschal success in his future plans,” Cooley said in a release from the school. “He helped us have a successful season in 2014-15 and advance to the NCAA Tournament.”

Maybe he wants to make the step up from a mid-major conference?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice emoji 49r!  First the 'Drumroll'  now this!

So what do we do if we can't get this guy......

Play all our games next year.

[ShortDust]

They'll take a chance with another grad transfer. "If" we don't get this guy. Robin stated his visit went very well and he was trying to get info on what the plans would be next.

Play another season with a self imposed punishment of 1 schollie.

After three seasons of posting 0 points and 0 rebounds in 0 minutes, Open Scholarship is due for a big year.

[TheKamdyMan]

I know it's a funny joke but all scholarships were accounted for last year. There was just two years of self imposed scholarship.

[ShortDust]

Looks like aw3 is home with family, probably not player host in this situation.

Pretty sure we only had 12 scholarship players last year unless you are counting Menke.

I believe he spells his last name Scholorship.

[colhusker]

I hope he verbals soon, my toes are cramping from walking with them crossed.

Trevor Menke has been helping boost the basketball team's APR for years, so he counts for all extents & purposes (and pomp & circumstance, too).
