Thanks to all the schools throughout the country that recruited me after I decided to transfer from Pitt. I will be staying HOME to play for my dad at UTM ☝

Wow. Didn’t see that one coming

[hhcmatt]

It's easier to play for dad when it's already established that you're going to get playing time because you're good. For his sake hopefully dad will still be there when he's eligible. If Coach Stewart gets fired Parker is definitely someone to monitor for a grad transfer

[hhcmatt]

Absolute tragedy, Parker Stewart's father and coach, Anthony Stewart unexpectedly passed away at the age of 50.

Just heartbreaking. RIP Coach Stewart

Third time's a charm?

Jeff Borzello on Twitter: "Tennessee-Martin grad transfer Parker Stewart has heard from Kansas State, Indiana, Arkansas, Cincinnati, Nebraska, Memphis, Ole Miss, Washington State, Houston, Oklahoma State and NC State since entering the transfer portal yesterday. Averaged 19.2 PPG and 3.8 APG last season." / Twitter

 

19 points and 4 assists. And 35% from 3.

They must expect more attrition. We're full as is right now.

He might be immediately eligible. I don't know if he's played a game with Tennessee-Martin this year. If not, and they're saying he's a grad transfer, he might be eligible as soon as we hold commencement ceremonies for this semester. That would put him here for the Wisconsin game on 12/21.

 

Not that I think it'll happen, but I would imagine he's looking for a place to play like RIGHT NOW! He's not looking to sit out. And the only way that happens is if ... someone ... maybe took a medical retirement or something like that.

[Norm Peterson]

If he was a 45% 3-point shooter or a 6'10 dude who could block shots, defend the post and catch dumps down low for dunks, then this might make sense.  But would we create room for a grad transfer who shoots ~35% from 3-point range if it meant someone already on the team had to say bye-bye? I mean, it's not like we don't have guard depth.

 

He's a good FT shooter with Teddy Allen size and, judging from his assist numbers, I'd say he looks like a scoring PG.

 

I dunno. Not for me to figure out. If we think we'll have room for a grad transfer to play this season, then it's for someone else to decide if it makes sense.

[Norm Peterson]

Another thing about this is that he's an early grad transfer, meaning he'd have another season after this one. If he were just a one-season grad transfer, then it wouldn't mess with any of our future recruiting. If someone were to leave to clear up space, the ONLY person who makes sense right now is that Akol takes a medical hardship and gives up basketball, but I just don't see that happening.

 

It's a mystery why we would be in contact with this kid.

 

Teammate of Trey's at Pitt. I'm sure they've talked.

Our identity is pace, space, and contacting transfers

Actually he was a teammate of Shamiel's at Pitt and transferred before Trey got there.  Being immediately eligible at semester would be unprecedented, but the circumstances in this case are unprecedented, so I don't think the NCAA would rule against him, no matter where he goes.

If he's a grad transfer he wouldn't need to sit out.

I believe in baseball, 3 strikes and you're officially out.

It felt like Akoy Agau had at least 4 strikes with us.  

[hhcmatt]

Heading to Indiana. In theory he will find out tomorrow if he can play right away
