Late 2016 signing/Grad Transfer

Thon would play at Indiana, not for Indiana.

Can't argue with that. It works out for many though, but I agree. I won't be crestfallen when he goes elsewhere for many of the reasons already mentioned but he is a fun lineup thought.

How does McDAA MVP Cheick Diallo feel about his decision? Or Carlton Bragg for that matter. Yet 5 stars keep rolling in, in droves.

Thon in a lineup would be scary, but I just can't see him being a great teammate and wouldn't like being told what to do by some seniors. Was Embiid the last time a 5 star that went to KU and was a lottery pick?

I hope we don't compromise what it means to play FOR Indiana in pursuit of a Final Four and Champion. I don't like one and done for IU to become usual and customary that's for sure.

Thought about this too, man

Talent stockpiled so to speak. Year after year. Hmmmmm

And Cliff Alexander before them.  Something stinks in Kansas.

Honestly, more worried about what a team with Thon Maker and Troy Williams would look like. I don't really want Crean to waste the time and focus on developing a raw talent like Thon and only get one year out of him.

He's not raw on defense. He's an instant impact frosh on the defensive end.

[HoosierTrav 7,900]

I don't think we take Thon if Troy returns. Not that we get him anyway, but I see him being recruited in Troy's spot.

I'm pretty sure our chances at Thon have officially reached 0%. Did not schedule an official with Indiana. Ed Smith was asked by Jerry Meyers, whether we would get an official and he was quoted as saying "we know everything we need to know at this point."

I also do not want a team full of one and dones but we shifted gears last time we won a championship by recruiting and starting 2 JC players.  Things change (for better of worse).

Is this the thread for normal transfers as well? There were a few more today including Miami's James Palmer and Arizona guard Justin Simon.

 

Pap, any knowledge of who we may be looking at?

@jon rothstein

Michigan State's Marvin Clark will transfer, source told @CBSSports. Two years of eligibility remaining.

He isn't a grad transfer but I didn't know where else to put this

He was an iu target a couple years ago

@jeffborzello

Ohio State freshman Daniel Giddens has requested his release and is expected to transfer, sources told ESPN.

Iu target a couple years ago

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,699]

Wow... 2 huge transfers..... Poor Marvin Clark. I liked him.

@jeffrabjohns

Hamilton Heights guard Grant Weatherford is transferring from Purdue per @GoldandBlackcom. He was a redshirt freshman.

Here is a small one

Wow that's out of nowhere.  I think he's from Georgia, I bet he transfers closer to home.

Weird recruitment.  He was always considered a lock to OSU.

Lol. Terrible signing in first place. D1 heart. D14 skills.

Sounds like a Purdue guy. Too bad he is leaving.

Next couple months should be interesting. Love to see a stretch 4/wing coupled with a true PG. A grad transfer would be ideal.

It seems like Thon is both a stretch and a reach, but like to see him in the candy stripes. Grad transfer true PG would be a "bit of alright" as well. Could we do both?

I must concede I love following the moves after a season has come to an end.

I thought the NCAA changed the grad transfer rule?
