Transfer Thread - May

[Pudge]

there's a generational family difference between Musselman and the Hurley's (and Calhoun)

Musselman's Dad was a minor league hoop coach in the 80's Extreme transactional flavor. Different lineups several times a week; several rosters a month. Nothing phased him ... and he thrived: coached hard and won. The OLD school - former high school thinking - wanted development and valued relationships + growth through practice with your guys. Used the term ... teaching. So, Calhoun (and I'm certain Bob Hurley) would state loudly to be careful of these kids bouncing around.

They should go all in and remove the cameras as well. What's next, firing the stats keepers?

One thing I've learned this offseason is it's best to ignore anything Rothstein says when it relates to transfers

Not sure I heard this right but I thought I heard something like 400 players in the portal ended up with no place to go. Nobody recruited them and their former teams already replaced them. Plus another 100 or so ended up moving down several levels below where they thought/planned to be. Has anybody heard this? Anybody looked at this free agency model?

My guess: Many of those are graduates who’ll just, you know, actually graduate.

I'm not sold on JUCO being a good option for recruits. Seems like 90% of the top jucos end up being meh at best when they move up. I think teams just like that they're low risk because they only take a scholly for 2 years

Could be. Though I wouldn’t assume they will graduate given the history of college basketball in recent years. This was the first year every school graduated 50% of its players per the grad rate calculation (not the more bogus apr)

I agree. I’m curious to see how El Ellis pans out at Louisville this coming season.

 

[husky429]

I'm gonna call myself correct on the JUCO stuff.... Seems like we're rolling at maybe a 60% hit rate on guys that could contribute at our level. And about 40% of them were starting caliber. 6-8 were in the range of being really good, maybe a number 1-3 option on a top-25 team.

2020 JUCO BASKETBALL RANKINGS (via 247 - only those that went high-major)

included there best season if there were 2.

Highlights those that scored in double digits, or were by the numbers looking like starting caliber players

Italicized those that were good bench options.

[Hey Adrien!]

Me too. They also bring in Noah Locke and Jarrod West. No matter what, he should get at least 20 mpg.

el ellis? hmm, time to add him to the 'all-alliteration' team, captained by pauly paulicap. of course, akok akok is a starter on that squad. the strunk and white jury is still out on whether kofi cockburn should be on too, cuz
'alliteration:
the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.'

deep thoughts.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Not surprised since I'm sure his options weren't promising the PT he can at UNLV.

Kevin Kruger has been on a tear a the start of his UNLV offseason.

• Retains Hamilton (17.9 ppg)
• Brings in two 12 ppg+ transfers from decent mid-major conferences.
  • Mike Nuga (17.8 ppg, 38.5 3p% from Kent State)
  • Justin Webster (12.3 ppg, 37.8 3p% from Hawaii)
• Brings in four transfers from high-majors
  • Victor Iwuakor from Oklahoma, 10.8 mpg, former #152 prospect. Three years eligibility.
  • Donovan Williams from Texas, 10.3 mpg, former #75 prospect. Three years eligibility.
  • Jordan McCabe from West Virginia, 14.6 mpg, former #113 prospect. Grad transfer.
  • Royce Hamm from Texas, 8.8 mpg, former #90 prospect. Grad transfer.

If we aren’t going to add the “shooter” that everyone wants, I’d be shocked if DH didn’t pick up the phone to gauge interest from one of his favorite players in CBB last year
