Transfers

[RamblinRed]

That it might be good to start a thread on this since it is that time of year. Last year over 700 players transferred in Div 1 basketball (an avg of 2 for every school).

Note: the NCAA approved a change to transfers that went into effect immediately this week. There are no longer hardship transfers allowed. If you transfer, you have to sit out a year - no exceptions. If a player has used their redshirt the new school can apply for a 6th year of eligibility so the student athlete still gets 4 years to play.

Grad transfers (students who have graduated and still have eligibility remaining) are exempt and still allowed immediate eligibility.

ACC Transfers out
Syracuse - BJ Johnson and Ron Patterson - these were effectively the 7th and 8th men in a 6 man rotation. Both played roughly 13-15 mpg. These 2 departures basically allow Syracuse to keep recruiting 5* Thomas Bryant.

Wake - Daniel Green and Aaron Roundtree - both of these men will graduate and be immediately eligible at any non-ACC school. Green has had injury issues for 3 years.

This means that had this rule been enacted this past season Mitchell and Heath wouldn't have been playing on the court. At least we can still aim on transfers-to-grad students and we should in finding a shooter/scorer for the upcoming season.

Although the hardship waivers have worked in our favor the past couple of years, I think it's good to do away with it. I'd also say it should have been enacted with rules stipulating you couldn't block transfers of any kind.

Couple of big 4-star centers on that list that haven't committed anywhere yet. Would love to have gotten one of those highly-rated SFs or SGs.

With Alabama's season now over, a player to keep an eye on is Devin Mitchell, who played his HS hoops at Collins Hill Was a top notch shooter.

I'll take anybody at this point. We're gonna need shooters big time next year.

He'd have to sit out a year. Also, Bama's season ended today. No word on if he'll be transferring.

 

[dtm1997]

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

Are any of these players worth snagging up to have in 2016-17?

too many to list, but twitter is exploding with transfers right now. Pray we don't have anyone we want to keep pop up.

That was an obvious one

Nick King is a really talented player

ETA: It's crap like this why Pastner is on my Hell No list. We've had enough revolving door and Memphis is worse than us with kids leaving.

 

[dtm1997]

Not sure we'd be in the mix, but here's a good one, if I recall correctly.

I wonder if Gregory's tenuous job status will affect potential transfers. If you know you're sitting out a year, and no guarantees that the coach who brought you in will be coaching when you're eligible, why come?

 

[kg01]

Yeah, it's why we'll have to look to grad transfers who can still be eligible immediately. We need a scoring wing, right? Those will be rare and highly sought after.
