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 PPG. Immediately eligible as a grad transfer."

Shot 42% on both overall FG's and on his 3's; 86% FT's.  He's 6'6".  We could do a lot worse if we're looking for a grad transfer SG.

I could handle a couple of 6'6" shooting guards next year; one a grad transfer senior and one a true freshman.

Serious question: should Sean Miller be on the hot seat?

Not for possible NCAA/FBI trouble, but for not ever doing **** with some of the best talent in the country.

Could they do better?

Probably won’t matter if/when things actually hit the fan with the Feds and/or NCAA. 

But you’re also probably right. Idk if they could.

Arizona has ZERO recruits coming in next season and won’t get any for the foreseeable future while Miller is under this cloud. The school has to move on.

Arizona should throw all their money at Jason Kidd to be their next head coach.

Wow. Whomever takes that job could come into a fCTC -like 1st roster. I'm sure some of them might let a new coach re-sell them though.

I'm sure Pitt just lost a lot of their bargaining power in their coaches search. A fair roster is a lot better than a bare roster.

Paging Brett Finklemeier and Kyle Taber. Can we get a Liger in aisle one? 

Does he still have a year of eligibility left?!?

MSB, graduate transfer.

ACC, you've been warned.

Putting it out here solely because he's a Greensburg HS alum.  Ryan Welage, 6'9" and 205 lbs., a junior at San Jose State (Mountain West Conf) along with 2 other players have announced their intent to transfer.  

Finished his third season at San José State ranking sixth on the all-time scoring list with 1,258 career points … San José State’s all-time leader in made three-point baskets with 161 heading into his senior year … Became the 15th player in the 108-year history of the program to reach 1,000-career points on Jan. 9, 2018 … Two-time Academic All-Mountain West honoree and a CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII honoree in 2018.   This past season he shot 46% FG; 43% on 3's and a whopping 88% FT's hitting 100 out of 114 attempts.

Would he be a grad transfer? Three seasons and academic all conference would suggest he is.

Don't know for certain but I haven't seen anything that suggests he's a grad transfer possibility.

Not only that he loses 3 of his 5 starters and the other 2 claim they are declaring. They had no depth and he will probably be losing the whole starting lineup. There is no way Miller is coming back.
