2nd Annual Potential Grad Transfers thread

[Matrim55]

Should Jalen & Terry declare for the draft (which I think is likely), it looks like we will have one open scholarship for 2018/19. There is a very good chance that scholarship gets filled with yet another freshman recruit, however we've had luck with grad transfers over the last few years and it seems wise to keep an eye on any potentials for this year.

Here is our current scholarship grid:



As it stands, we'll have only three true guards next year (Alterique, Vital, Akinjo), so my guess is that we'll be bringing in another back court player. So with that in mind, here's a first look at some guys who could potentially be available for next season:

Ryan Taylor (6-foot-5 SG, Evansville): Pure shooter. Averaged 14/3/1.5 on 44/38/85 splits last year, is at 23/3/1.5 on 40/47/88 shooting splits this year.

Ria'n Holland (6-foot-0 CG, Mercer): Undersized, but he shoots the lights out. Did 17/3/2 on 44/38/84 splits last year, and is at 22/4/3 on 57/56/96 splits this year, including a 31-point performance in a loss at UCF.

Elijah Bryant (6-foot-5 SG/SF, BYU): Has averaged double-digit points all three years (his first was at Elon). Currently 21/5/1 on 51/38/86 shooting splits. He's from Georgia.

I'll add more throughout the year as I come across them.

We gotta get a solid 3 pointer shooter.

We gotta get a solid 3 pointer shooter.

With an Iffy Gilbert and Vital not really and on ball threat, that leaves only the freshman.
I suspect Polley will emege as a shooter alon* with CV
You have to give up a little shooting to get another combo but it’s a must.
That’s why Anderson is the steal of the year.

Keep an eye on Ryan Taylor. I love his style of play

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

A 5th year guy from BYU? Is he 30? He was a NEPSAC guy. I wonder if he’s on our radar.

Shawn Roundtree (6-foot-0 CG, Central Michigan): averaging 13/3/4 on 54/42/100 shooting splits. Dropped 21 on Michigan in a close loss last week.

Tayler Persons (6-foot-3 SG, Ball State): Putting up 15/3.5/4 on 51/25/82 shooting splits (you can probably ignore that low 3-point %, as he 42% on over 100 attempts last season). Had 14 last night in a blow-out loss to Oregon, and dropped 29 on Friday in a big win over Stony Brook.

It's a good bet that the staff has seen a bit of Persons already.

Mike Daum
Mike Daum from South Dakota State. Redshirt Jr, 6'9" 250lbs, averaged 25 a game as a sophomore, 22 currently with 11 rebs a game, shot over 40% from 3 each year in college, 50% from the floor mid 80s from the line. Had 21 against Kansas the other day.

Daum would probably be out of our league as a grad transfer.

Jure Span (6'4" SG, USC Upstate): Shoots the lights out and decent playmaker, 16ppg. From Slovenia. Beautiful country.

Another possibility:

TJ Holyfield (6'8" 225lbs C, Stephen F Austin): Volume scorer with defense-stretching potential. First team all Southland pre-season. Great in their press, too (Ridiculous 3.5 stl/g)

A dude that will actually be eligible:

Isaiah Wright (6'0" PG, San Diego): On a hot shooting streak currently. Has led San Diego to 4-0 start. Dishes and boards, too, but turnover prone. Active defensive hands.

 

[Stainmaster]

Daum would probably be out of our league as a grad transfer.

Jure Span (6'4" SG, USC Upstate): Shoots the lights out and decent playmaker, 16ppg. From Slovenia. Beautiful country.

Daum's going to have his pick of schools.
