2015 Transfers and Early Entries

[FortWayneHoosier 5,919]

Talk about being a bad judge of character in basketball recruits, Bruce Weber may win first prize. This from the Associated Press earlier today: "Kansas State coach Bruce Weber has dismissed freshman forward Malek Harris from the team, the fifth underclassman who will not be returning to the Wildcats next season. Weber said Friday that Harris was unable to live up to the expectations of the program. Harris joins sophomore guard Marcus Foster and freshman forward Tre Harris in getting kicked off the team, while sophomore guards Jevon Thomas and Nigel Johnson have transferred."

And we thought we had a high turnover rate

Response I got from my K-State contact is major character issues with Weber's recruits.  Lots of on and off-court disciplinary problems.  8 members of his 2014-2015 squad won't be back for next season, 2 of which are graduating seniors.  Somebody didn't do very good homework in the recruiting process and Weber's seat is getting warm.

Ron Hunter and Georgia State have picked up Alabama transfer Devin Mitchell and Ball State is adding grad transfer Nate Wells from Bradley U.

SIAP, but the B1G just added another big man. It's gonna be a bruiser's league next year.

@EvanDaniels: Mike Thorne committed to Illinois, a source tells Scout. Graduate transfer from Charlotte. Can play right away.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

And with Mike Thorne's announcement, Kentucky's options to fill the remaining 4 scholarships keep slipping away.

@KyleTucker_CJ: Make no mistake, Kentucky's starting five is going to be stacked. But unless some dominoes start falling in Calipari's favor, not real deep.

Like Alex Bozich said.. Some of these kids must think they added a 3rd round this year to the nba draft

Caris LeVert is back.

thought he would. Bummer, B1G is going to be legit!

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Goodman listed 1) Maryland, 2) MSU, 3) Michigan, 4) IU if Yogi and JBJ return, 5) Wisconsin.

I think he is giving UM too much credit and underselling IU but that's just my opinion. I also think everyone is forgetting Purdue. I hate saying that but they return everything except Octeus. If they can get a 5th year of transfer they will be in the mix at the top. The B1G is going to be a blast next year. This will be the best it has been in how long?

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Purdue should be very good. They did lose Octeus, and Scott is transferring. They do not have a pg as of yet.

PJ Thompson but he doesn't seem like a starter.

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Michigan will not be top 4 imo

[bnkepner 1,509]

I like how all of a sudden because LeVert is coming back lots of "experts" have Michigan finishing very high. There was a good part of last year that LeVert was still healthy and they weren't doing so hot. They still have no inside presence.
