Player and Recruit Retention News/Discussion & Potential Transfers

This..... Pleases me.

Major ramifications. Lets Juwan breath as a 4. Lets De'Ron breath. May push Clifton out, or it may stand as a motivator for him. Trey was 172 lbs when he arrived at George Mason, played this year around 225. He put this weight on while dealing with diabetes, developed his game over the years.

This guy would be a player. I really wasn't looking forward to another season where our best lineup has Juwan playing the 5. Juwan is fantastic, but we need to be bigger.

Also lets DeRon take a redshirt year if warranted.

Question for those that want to do the research or know of the top of their head, but I’m curious. Has there ever been a grad transfer make all conference in the BIG?

I know Forbes and Uthoff both transferred but they were at their schools for more than a year.

So I'm guessing Porter is the 5! He fits Archie's system too.

If anyone cares ESPN has IU as "the next four out" on their way too early bracketology. Lunardi is awful anyway.

Surely, all he can go by is known players, right? We're probably going to add 2 players that give us the chance to be a lot better than otherwise.

Yeah I expect it to look a lot different next time. I'm just glad we have a coach who knows he HAS to win next year. Unfortunately for Crean I don't think getting a grad transfer was as popular in 2009-2011. Max was the first and only one we got. I know a lot of people don't like the grad transfer rule but I do. Let Mid Major players go to a power 5 for one year.

I think Nick Z was also or he would have had to sit out a year.

Sorry if this was already posted elsewhere, I couldn't remember if I had seen it on here or not but I've been seeing/hearing a lot of talk about letting athletes with 3.0+ GPAs transfer and not have to sit out a year. Would be a very interesting rule change

The only good would be that UNC would start offering real classes in order to lower GPA's.

I doubt that. No one from UNC will want to transfer to a school where they have to take actual college courses.

Latest post from basketball workouts shows the whole team or at least the guys we thought my leave participating.

Forgot about that, nice catch 

[AKHoosier]

Wow if we get Porter and Romeo/Taylor that would be quite an upgrade in talent.

Hopefully Archie can make it happen.
