PF Elijah Thomas - TAMU Transfer

[AuroranHusker]

How quick will he have to make his decision in order to be eligible for the 2nd half of season next year?

 

Probably around the time when 2nd semester starts at whatever school he plans to attend.

It was the very first question in his basketball chat today:  http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/husker-extra-live-chat-replay-brian-rosenthal/article_dd3c7198-a2ac-11e5-8850-0b68e5ba4596.html

6-9. 240?  I think Lee is off by about 25 pounds, there.  And, no, I don't mean he weighs 215#.

But no answer to the question, so it's still unofficial.

BR isn't the guru on recruiting. Try a different person, next time maybe.

Man, a little better phrased and perhaps it would have gotten more than shrug from BR.

If there is anywhere those two guys are going together, it's Texas.

Package deal?

 

Is there a college out there that has enough scholarships open for two mid year transfers?

[hskr4life]

Well... I don't think Grandstaff would be able to transfer here anyways would he?

[Silverbacked1]

I think it is a two year sit unless he is a grad. Transfer, at least that is what I can remember.

Yeah, that'll work. Git'r done, Miles & Co.

Is Elijah Thomas our best option? Does transferring out of A&M after the first semester (like his good buddy from Ohio St.) raise any red flags?

According to Lee Barfknecht moments ago, Tim Miles is "touring the country courting big men" and was "scheduled to travel to California, Florida, North Carolina and Massachusetts to check out prospects for next season." Big men "Nebraska is known to have interest in" are Robinson Idehen (6'9", 210 lb.), Papa N'diaye (6'9", 215 lb.) and Jordy Tshimanga (6'10", 250 lb.).

It raises a ton of red flags that I know I'd love to overlook

Thomas is the best option if hes available for NU.  The other guys are good plan C, D, E type guys.  Tshimanga, N'Diaye, and Idehen would be my choice in order of the guys above after Thomas is those were my only 4.

[ShortDust]

I agree with the kamdy order. I'm sure that miles will be putting press on Thomas to at least get him to take a visit. If the guy wants to play right away, well we have a spot for that. We also have proven on transfers so far. Just have to wait and see on this.

[Norm Peterson]

What would be the eligibility date/amount?

 

Come in for spring semester and sit out but practice with the team.  Practice with team this summer.  Practice with team next fall and then eligible to play as of fall commencement (graduation) ceremonies next December as a ...

 

Sophomore?  With 2 1/2 years to play?  Or, since he only played 1 semester, would he have 3 1/2 seasons?

 

I mean, hypothetically.  Assuming he even has any interest or visits here.

[hhcmatt]

Sophomore?  With 2 1/2 years to play?  Or, since he only played 1 semester, would he have 3 1/2 seasons?

 

Redshirt freshman with 3 1/2 seasons.

I think he'd be eligible to play after fall graduation. If he had transferred last year, for instance, he'd be eligible to play starting this Saturday.

Well, that'd be about ideal, wouldn't it?

[ShortDust]

Very ideal, I'm sure miles/hunter will be working hard to get him to visit. It'll be tough to draw him out of the longhorn state, but gotta at least try.

[49r]

There's one thing we can offer that Texas can't, and that's the opportunity to play in the B1G.

 

Of course that didn't seem to make much difference to him first time around when Illinois was after him...

[Norm Peterson]

It would be really ironic if Illinois couldn't sign the guy because they took Mike Thorne in the transfer market last spring and therefore don't have an open spot, and then we get him. I'd laugh my evil laugh if that happened.
