Wow

Wow

There are a lot of potential transfers out there, but I think we may be locked out of the undergrad transfer market due to our immediate needs and the 12 scholarship limit the NCAA seems intent on enforcing again this year.

Deandre Burnett is also transferring out of Miami.

Also, JP Tokoto has declared for the NBA draft (pretty strange decision there). The Tokoto decision does open a spot for one of Jaylen Brown or Brandon Ingram.

Add another Miami player besides Burnett:

@jeffborzello: Coppin State transfer Sterling Smith (13.9 ppg) will visit Wake Forest tomorrow and Georgia Tech April 17, per source. Eligible immediately.

Has a gorgeous shot

He does have a nice shot and its a pretty quick release as well.

You gotta love the college basketball free agency period.

So if we bring in Sterling Smith and Sterling Gibbs from Seton Hall we will have a shiny new backcourt with a silver lining.... See what I did there. Lol

Mercer's Ike Nwamu set to transfer eligible immediately. Great athlete, high hops and built like a tank.

Ike's a good player for Mercer. I've seen him play a good bit. He's similar to Ish with a little better range and better looking shot. Met him after Mercer madness (he jumped a man dunking)... Very nice kid... Looks like a linebacker

Yea I also think of Ish. I was at the game last year vs Kennesaw St where he made Sportscenter top 10 with a windmill dunk. Guy has springs in his shoes. He's built like a PJ Davis.

Not just one of my favorite transfers but one of my all time favorite players at Tech. When I construct and "All Time Tech starting lineup" he is always one of my starters.

He died rather tragically several years ago.

ah,Sammy Drummer---almost a dream now--for those who don't know him--he was one of those guys who OTHER schools always had. 6-5 with springs and a scoring ability- somehow he "transferred" from DeKalb Jr and teamed with Tico Brown (another 6-5 transfer super athlete) to give us instant offense and credibility . He left after 1or 2? seasons "somehow" staying eligible.Yrs later, a story ran of he being a custodian at the a school.Not one of our shining academic moments.

Ricky Tarrant is transferring from AL. He started at Tulane for 2 yrs before transferring home. He killed us 3 yrs ago with a 24 pt, 6 3-pter performance. Very capable scorer (13 ppg at AL this season before having a season ending injury).
If he is able to graduate, i'd definately be interested.

Unfortunately I watched multiple Alabama games this year because my roommate is a bama fan, and I would like to have him as well. He's got a good stroke and can score.

Tarrant was in his 4th college year at AL and was Academic All-SEC in his redshirt year last year, so have to think he is planning on being a grad transfer. GT did recruit him when he left Tulane but it was largely a forgone conclusion he was going to Bama. He was there the last season Jacobs was there - wonder if that might help.

Orlando Coleman has a tweet that hinted Kenn St but that doesn't make alot of sense - going from SEC to ASun - unless you are looking to be the man. Have to see what happens the next couple of days here.

 

[ChasonBaller]

I went to a Bama game this year as a part of their showcase camp, and he was a baller. The Swiss on their team is exactly like Thabo Sefolosha on the hawks.....I found that funny

Can't really say that I am surprised not making his list. Hoping to hear more about Tarrant and this Sterling Smith kid.

We need someone that can knock down the 3 ball, and either of these kids would fit that bill.

 

[kg01]

I really wanted the Tarrant kid before he went to Bama. I imagine, at this point in his career, he's in 'get yours' mode though. Beggers can't be choosers I guess. We just need talent.

 

[Connell62]

If there is a guard out there that considers themselves to be a scorer, I'm not sure how they can't look at our roster as an opportunity to make an impact.

Especially someone that can hit the 3 ball. Making open looks, especially from deep, is the first step in making any offense run smoothly.
