Anybody aware of any potential grad transfers that could be added?

[deedougie]

We've got to pick up one of these guys!!

Yes, especially now we are back down to 10 schollies and lots of holes on our team still(rebounding, shooting and extra ball handler).

I want Adam Smith from VA Tech badddddd

He and Miller or Harris combo would be an immediate impact, agree.

@GoodmanESPN: Cleveland State transfer Trey Lewis has visited Louisville -- and also heavy interest from UCONN, Ohio state, Xavier and Texas.

I wonder if Ricky Moore had a hand in originally recruiting this dude to Dartmouth, he was their leading scorer last year.

Dartmouth's Alex Mitola will graduate and transfer, source told @CBSSports. Eligible immediately. Averaged 12.4 PPG in 14-15.

Good catch, like Hobbs & Kromah.

Phil Forte Lite

Can handle, and shoot, and eventually make billions of dollars (he's an Econ major). Sounds like our type of guy.

 

[CallMeBruce]

He's undersized, shot under 40% in the Ivy League, and is a huge stretch at the point. Sounds like we've found our guy.

 

[superjohn]

You guys are kidding about Alex Mitola right? He is a nice Ivy League guard but not a UConn level talent.

I'm not jazzed about it, but this seems like our level right now. We gave scholarships to worse players this year. At least he's a high-major shooter, if nothing else.

Considering our offense will revolve around DHam & Rodney collapsing the defense into the lane and then 1) tossing up a floater, 2) tossing up a lob, or 3) kicking out for 3-pointers, I think Mitola is a nice fit.

We have both room for and need for a specialist. Nobody's expecting him to be Tyus Jones, nor does he need to be.

 

[superjohn]

He's 5'10 and unathletic for this level, he is a good shooter but he would have to be really open to even get a shot off.

From this video, it looks like he has a pretty quick release. He's technically a PG, and I think he's passable on the floor with DHam and Purvis, but he's certainly not the ideal guy. I'd much rather get Jalan West from NW St., but I haven't heard if he's graduating this year (he redshirted as a freshman).

Not a grad transfer...but this kid is decent. Not many clips on utube of him. He was voted the #1 player in all of JC this year though. Good chance he doesn't meet the level of player we may want being UConn and all....but he may help some team next year. Maybe we could offer...just not sure.

It looks like Dominic Artis visited Texas A & M last week for JC class of 2015. They need another secondary/primary ball handler in addition to Robinson (Soph) and Carusso (Sr).

It looks like Artis was at Diablo Valley in 2014-15. He ranks #2 in the JC rankings at first glance. I wonder if his game improved. Honestly I don't believe in any second chances. You only get 1 chance and then you should be thrown to the wolves for the rest of your life. Anyway I wish the kid well. I'm sure he will help some team out there.

 

[huskyharry]

Mitola, as a fifth yr. senior, IMHO would be better than a similar-sized and ability 2015 HS senior, as the scholarship would then be available for 2016. Sounds like a lot of potential fish out there...reel two good ones in Coach!

 

[UofCT]

Jonathan Williams III was blocked from going to any Big 12 or SEC school. I don't see and P5 school blocking them from the American....So that's good.

Also, Mizzou blocked him from transferring to Arizona-- Borzello considered them the likely landing spot.

He's a sophomore and he would have to sit a year so he doesn't address next season's needs. Ideally, we will land recruits at that position for the '16-'17 season.

K State is a dumpster fire. Johnson, a PG from Virginia, will probably head to a mid-major.

List for Gonzaga transfer Angel Nunez: Texas Southern, St. John's, South Florida, Towson, UMKC, Cal State Northridge, Nevada.

Def pass...but he gone.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

The idea of adding Miller at the 4 would be the equivalent of looking at Jessica Alba nude 2 years ago for the first time. That would be very exciting indeed.

When Sulaimon graduates in June I recommend doing the unthinkable and going hard after him as a grad transfer. I know this would put me in the .0000009% of fans that want this kid at UConn but in my most humble of opinions RASHEED is a guy I desperately want. With the addition of Rasheed and "Big Lanky" we go from playing a home first round NIT game against VCU...to all of a sudden thinking about buying tickets to the NRG Arena next April. The last place I want to see this kid end up is at Memphis or Gonzaga. He was addition by subtraction at Duke. At UConn it could be the Rodney & Rasheed Show. Just call it the R & R Show.
