Evansville paper reporting Indiana and UCLA have reached out to Taylor. Dude averaged over 20 points a game. We will take that in a heartbeat.

Sounds like he’d be a heck of a get. Who does Alford think he is?   

[HoosierFan1994 5,351]

Taylor played at Ohio for a year and then transferred to Evansville. UE just never had enough talent to support him. I don't think he'd average 20 points a game at IU, but he would be very good!

I like it a lot. Billed as a shooter that can create his own shot a little bit. We desperately need shooters and this guy could play at the 3 alongside Romeo. Let’s get him

Bring on Taylor. I would love to see this be our team that steps on the floor next fall.

Romeo
Taylor
Smith
Morgan

Right. I don't get the "either/or" comments around the other boards and Twitterverse.

I wonder whether we'll have any interest in newly minted Pitt transfer Malik Ellison. Two years eligibility left; sat last year at Pitt after transferring there from St. Johns. Was pretty good at St. Johns his first two years - physical, strong 6'6" sg. Chose Pitt over UVA and Harvard, so he must be a very good student.

As bad as this sounds I am a little gun shy on Pitt players after Newkirk.

"Evansville guard Ryan Taylor told ESPN he will explore other options and possibility of transferring. Led the Missouri Valley in scoring this season at 21.2. Immediately eligible as a grad transfer." Jeff Goodman

This is interesting. Obviously, could still bring Taylor in along with Romeo (hopefully) but sounds like a very, very solid consolation prize if Romeo goes herp derp on us.

We have been in contact already!

 

[Josh 13,233]

Don't we only have one scholarship available right now? If we take the transfer, we'd have to oversign again for Romeo

[Feathery 4,005]

Looks like Pitt has 7+ players seeking to transfer. Ouch.

I believe this is correct. Wasn't the thinking that we would have one left for Romeo and most people were hoping that McRoberts would be awarded the one vacated by Jones?

Two scholarships available.

Thanks for the clarification guys

I'm curious if this team will go after a Big man grad transfer or if they have confidence in De'Ron or one of our freshmen.

We have plenty of bigs

No, losing 5 to graduation (Newkirk, Johnson, Hartman, Priller, McSwain) plus Jones open spot= 6. We have signed 4, so still have a couple, pending any additional defections.

Plenty of bigs that can contribute?

Davis and Morgan. Morgan can't be the lone "big" on a tourney team. He was fantastic for a big portion of the conference season. However, he can't defend the best bigs nor can he sustain that level of play over the course of a season. The wear and tear is too much for an undersized 5.
