***Official 2017 Transfer Thread***

New Mexico just did....

Craig Neal was fired today, though his seat was hot and likely was playing for his job this year. The transfers out the past couple of weeks looks to have forced the AD's hand.

.....and the AD likely has someone else already lined up to take his place, possibly Tom Crean.
 
Unfortunately these sit 1 play 3 guys will be way down on the priority list since Prohm is trying to equal out the classes

I agree sit our guard is probably their 2nd or 3rd priority but I think the staff is entertaining the idea based on some recent twitter follows. I think for them to take a sit out guard it'd have to be someone who has proven themselves at a high major school already e.g Devon Daniels or Mustapha Heron.
 
@AdamZagoria: Auburn's Mustapha Heron is considering transferring. Will make a decision in the next two weeks, per source.

Would be highly sought after if he does.
Wow, former 5 star.

I bet Abdelmassih is having a busy day. Heron is a Connecticut kid that strongly considered SJU.

Completely agree. A 1-for-3 guard isn't the top of the plans, but you always have room for elite players.

It's a bit harder to connect dots to transfers with this staff, besides stocking twitter.

In the current transfer culture, what's really the difference between a sit 1 play 3 or a sit one play 2? Whoever ends up sitting is likely to leave regardless of whether it's a Jr. or So. in front of them.

very true.
 
very true.

I think i changed my mind already on that comment. I think it would show a great commitment from coach to player if they chose not to take a sit 1 play 3. Show those 4 freshmen that you want them them to be the guys.
 
Yeah, everyone talks about that but it's not accurate. Those guys played with a freak NBA guard and a stretch 4. That's not entirely accurate but it's more accurate than saying it was a 4 guard lineup.
True. KU had a lot of perimeter talent, but without sacrificing length.

I think Prohm will ultimately implement a great balance of small ball and conventional play. He's recruiting like he's building a SEC type roster, with some Hoiball stretch 4/5 and mismatches blended in. I'm excited for once he gets his roster.

Agree. A Jesuit basketball school like G-town is probably more attractive to Crean.
Sarcasm? Georgetown has a MUCH better program than New Mexico and a bigger tradition. Even though Georgetown has struggled the past few seasons, they're still much more attractive of a place for a coach than New Mexico.
 
Sometimes coaches that coach at a school like Indiana want to go chill at a school for a few years and take less pressure. So New Mexico is a good school to do that type of thing. Then maybe wait for a better off than Georgetown.
