Javonte transferred.not to derail this, but given that this was essentially guaranteed to be bouk's last year why didnt hurley recruit a 4th freshman? he couldnt have known the 1x transfer waiver rule would pass (it still hasnt) so was he counting on a grad transfer or a redshirt transfer? luckily the transfer rule is expected to pass which opens up a lot more possibilities but i'm curious as to his initial thinking...
totally irrelevant...hurley knew bouk was gone heading into this season and his spot has yet to be filled so i was asking if hurley had planned on a grad transfer or redshirt transfer all along. i understand being caught off guard by javonte leaving and having to rely on a transfer of some sort to replace him but i was asking specifically about bouk's scholly which could have been filled by a 4th freshmanJavonte transferred.
Not sure I agree, we've been talking about the free transfer on here since last March or April basically and while it hasn't officially passed everyone talks as if it's a given. All 3 of our commits were end of July/early August so to me it seems like he went through the recruiting cycle with a plan based around a free transfer and assume he has some more insight than what is publicly available on itnot to derail this, but given that this was essentially guaranteed to be bouk's last year why didnt hurley recruit a 4th freshman? he couldnt have known the 1x transfer waiver rule would pass (it still hasnt) so was he counting on a grad transfer or a redshirt transfer? luckily the transfer rule is expected to pass which opens up a lot more possibilities but i'm curious as to his initial thinking...

Also has a real good looking stroke. I bit more physical maturity and he's going to be dangerous.That's a really quick first step for a 6'10 kid with a 7'6 wingspan.
He isn't caught off guard by anything. One scholarship left over after he got his main point guard, shooting guard, and big man target early.totally irrelevant...hurley knew bouk was gone heading into this season and his spot has yet to be filled so i was asking if hurley had planned on a grad transfer or redshirt transfer all along. i understand being caught off guard by javonte leaving and having to rely on a transfer of some sort to replace him but i was asking specifically about bouk's scholly which could have been filled by a 4th freshman
i cant remember either. i might have said grad transfer idk. but if you think he was counting on the transfer rule passing then that answers my question, speculation or not.I may be misremembering but I feel like we had a discussion over the summer before all these commits where you and I agreed we wanted that 4th/Bouk scholarship to be saved for the spring for a transfer
he's gonna have to start accepting schollys if the plan is to send 1 or 2 guys to the league every year. that's what UK and Duke have to do. otherwise half the team will eventually be comprised of transfersI don't know if he could have accepted a scholarship from another player if he didn't technically have one to give, even though we all knew James was most likely gone.
what? he admitted he was caught off guard by javonte leaving but i'm not blaming him for that. i was talking about replacing bouk. he's known for a year bouk was leaving so i was wondering if the plan to replace him was always with a transfer, and if that means he knew the rule was going to pass. i didnt say he was caught off guard by that. we still have 2 schollys left overHe isn't caught off guard by anything.

I'm talking about his plan, it went perfectly how he wanted it to. Nobody knew Javonte would transfer due to playing time and he was a long term project anyways, wouldn't be relied upon next year. You're posting asking about Bouk's scholarship, we all know he was waiting to fill that after he got his top three targets early.what? he admitted he was caught off guard by javonte leaving but i'm not blaming him for that. i was talking about replacing bouk. he's known for a year bouk was leaving so i was wondering if the plan to replace him was always with a transfer. i didnt say he was caught off guard by that. we still have 2 schollys left over
yes but i was specifically asking if that meant he was keen on a grad transfer or redshirt transfer all along and if not whether the expected transfer rule passage is simply serendipitousyou're posting asking about Bouk's scholarship, we all know he was waiting to fill that after he got his top three targets early
schollys only exist one year at a time. hurley could offer all 13 schollys to different players every year if he wanted. something penny might do at memphis one day.somebody help me out here. before Javonte transferred, and with Bouk technically having a scholarship for next season, did Hurley have a 4th scholly to offer? How does that actually work? can you offer up a "non-existent" scholarship under the assumption Bouk will go pro?
thanks, i didn't think about that.schollys only exist one year at a time. hurley could offer all 13 schollys to different players every year if he wanted. something penny might do at memphis one day.
Isn't this a question you'd have to ask coach Hurley ? I'm not trying to be a jerk , I just don't know how huskyfanbob or whatsanokafor? are going to be able to answer the question what was on Hurley's mind when he made this decision?yes but i was specifically asking if that meant he was keen on a grad transfer or redshirt transfer all along and if not whether the expected transfer rule passage is simply serendipitous
You can offer as many as you want, at one point in the summer LSU had something like 16 kids committed for the upcoming season before a few kids transferred or declared for the NBA draft. Doubt Hurley ever gets to that point but I think getting to 14 if we want 1-2 kids being drafted is a realistic end goalsomebody help me out here. before Javonte transferred, and with Bouk technically having a scholarship for next season, did Hurley have a 4th scholly to offer?

In terms of replacing Bouk's spot on the floor, Hawkins is clearly the replacement. Martin can also play the two some as can Jackson, but both of them are better as college 3's IMO.what? he admitted he was caught off guard by javonte leaving but i'm not blaming him for that. i was talking about replacing bouk. he's known for a year bouk was leaving so i was wondering if the plan to replace him was always with a transfer, and if that means he knew the rule was going to pass. i didnt say he was caught off guard by that. we still have 2 schollys left over
