Player and Recruit Retention News/Discussion & Potential Transfers

[HinnyHoosier]

OG
Gelon
Priller
 
 

As much as I love this possibility, I feel reality will continue being the harsh son-of-a-gun that it is and leave Priller and Gelon on our scholarship list.

Not meant to be a slight to either one of them.

While Gelon and Priller are the weakest links on our bench, I'm not convinced that both leave especially MSB who will be a senior.  I'm more inclined to think that we could lose CuJo or Green and more likely CuJo than Green.

OG's gone for certain and I'm like Wayne, I think JBJ is for all intensive purposes gone as well so we really only have to have 1 more scholly open up.  My preference is for Gelon to transfer but time will tell.

I feel pretty strongly Clifton is going to back up DD on the defensive end.

BUT if we could get TB back next year, it would open up all sorts of matchup options and we'd be consider contenders at least. IF TB doesn't come back we will have a lot to prove. Interesting nonetheless.

My gut is saying TB and JB both gone.

Unless Bryant aspires to play in the D League he will come back. All the projections are saying that late 2nd pick is his best case scenario right now. Saw a scout lost his only positive as his 3 or shot but listed his defense, rebounding, &a post play as his weaknesses. It would be in his best interests to come back

OG 100%

JBJ 99.9%

TB 85%

Rojo 10%

Some other player 5.01%

Absolutely possible, but a bit too pessimistic on TB.

I'd say JB 95%, TB 65%, Gelon 20%, other 20%. There's been a little bit of barely substantiated whispering about Gelon, hasn't there?

I hope so. TB back one more season would do us wonders. The Gelon stuff is just hard to see happening under a new coaching regime. Unless Gelons decision. I'm preparing myself for OG, JB, TB. ANYanyanyany other combination of 3 players would make us better next year.

 

I'm really rooting hard for TB to come back, and I think he should TBH, but it's hard to know what his expectations are.

 

The think the Yogi/Troy stuff has given some misleading hope to our current roster on the odds of making it undrafted.

CAM should have some good talent to work with this Fall and I would like to see JBJ and TB stay, but would understand if they want to earn a living playing basketball now.

 

[Bobman1]

I'm thinking TB and JBJ both leave. With the recommitments it's made me believe these guys are heading out. I hate to say it but I'm guessing it's the case. I highly doubt anyone gets "Millered".

Priller needs to go.   

[Stromboli]

I have no insight on who leaves. I will say, Crean pursued some really interesting, talented young men. All 3 recruits have moved up the rankings. Bizarre that we are this excited about a class that is weak in media rankings. Crean has an eye.

Well crud--I really wanted TB back and now I am not so sure he will be. This does prove Archie's recruiting prowess. Expect the unexpected. Maybe. Hartman and Priller will be on graduate academic scholarships since they will both have their degrees. I thought we were getting the band back together but it turns out we may be auditioning for some new players and singers. Either way I trust Coach. Let's see how this works out.

Just think Crean was planning on having Tucker in this class as well. Lol

If he's as bad as some say he is I'm not sure why we WOULDN'T want him to leave. Personally, I think he can be a very solid contributor but if he chooses to leave and begin the next stage if life I don't blame him at all. At worst he can probably see the world some and experience a lot of good things all while making a very solid living playing a game he enjoys. It's a win-win for the guy. 

It's funny right? The way some on here talk about him, you'd think he was a sub 10 points a game guy who had no shot at playing professional ball. I'm not saying JBJ is gods gift to earth, but the kid is one of the best scorers in the big ten, and will make lots of money playing professionally at some level, whether that's as a niche knock down shooter in the NBA, or overseas. 

We would be foolish not to welcome JBJ back with open arms for another season.

Crean's under-the-radar prospects go one of two ways: (1) kids with big potential who rise in estimation when more widely seen and (2) desperation gambles (Priller, April, etc.).* I feel strongly this class is the former.

*I cannot figure out what happened with Grant Gelon tbh.

Matt Roth regrets

I have MANY Matt Roth regrets. Especially when I think about the Syracuse game.

[Demo]

I'm with pretty much everyone on JBJ. I think he'll go, and I don't think it would be a mistake if he did. I don't believe TB is going. A kid who was smart enough not to  even declare last year is smart enough to see the developmental value of 1 more year. Sure, Gelon or Priller are obvious for the other scholly. But don't I remember CAM saying in his 1st press conference that he didn't believe in deep rotations? If so, I would think he would view end of the bench/good teammate types like them preferable to 1 of McSwain/Green/Jones, who would really push for minutes. I'm going with McSwain as odd man out.

[Kmorlan]

Is there a transfer deadline, and if so, when is that deadline?

McSwain ain't going anywhere. He is 1 of 2 guys that actually improved last year over the course of the season (with JN). I think he will play 10-15 minutes a game as he's big, tough and athletic. And he just posted an Instagram photo of himself working out with CAM watching on.
