Transfers

Someone said on the radio that Bobinski said we definitely had one coming in. Is that still the case?

Unless he meant Nick Jacobs, who sat out this year, no idea who he's referring to.

I haven't heard that. Might be thinking that we have one more scholarship left next year

Pretty sure that he meant Jacobs - he'll be eligible for 2015-16 season. Any transfer we got this year would have to sit a year UNLESS they're a grad transfer.

Don't expect us to be involved, but could end up at an ACC or SEC school.

I read somewhere that Thorne may have transfer restrictions due to alleged tampering (NC State again?). However, I thought as a grad transfer he didn't need a release. We'll see.

2nd time he's transfered, volume scorer, Buzz wants his own kids playing.

Assuming VT banned transferring within ACC but if they didn't we could really use his scoring

Thanks for the answers, guys. What position does Nick Jacobs (?) play?

Isn't there still an ACC-imposed effective ban against transferring within conference? I remember it's why Thornton went to UGA rather than here after being let out of his LOI to Clemson but I think the rule has changed some since then.

I think that's only when signing out of High School. Pierre Jordan transferred from FSU as a grad student with immediate eligibility.

Does anyone know if any of the better transfer players have interest in GT?

Too early to tell. Teams are just starting to reach out to players

 

[dtm1997]

@Tech93 I'm not sure we even have a gauge on who some of the better transfer players are yet.

 

[alaguy]

My guess is we will be lucky to "come out even" after all this transferring is done.

 

[franklinjacket]

Any one we might be in danger of losing? Bolden has to be the best chance.

 

[Peacone36]

Marcus Foster is probably the most talented right now.

Nick King would step in nicely for 2 years after MGH leaves

The kid from Xavier has upside as well

Ken wrote that Bolden is not participating in developmental workouts. Apparently his grades are OK. So, why hold him out of something that will certainly benefit the team and not bring to him any glory or accolades? Holding him out seems a sign Chris is not in CBG's plans for this Fall. He still has two years to get his final year of eligibility, so a transfer to a D1 school is possible.

I hope he returns. I cannot see us bringing in a recruit with the potential to average 8-10 ppg next season. Goodness knows we need all the points we can get.
