TCU's Jaylen Fisher done for year and transferring

[PlanoClone]

Wow. Too bad for him, hope he's able to recover. Seems odd that he's transferring though.

 

[Bigman38]

I saw he said he was leaving the program but is he transferring or just quitting?

 

[MartinCy]

Wow. He's actually transferring.

 

[Clonefan32]

Wow. He's actually transferring.

I'd love to know the backstory on that. I wonder if Dixon pushed him hard to just shut it down for his career and he wouldn't accept it.

 

[tim_redd]

Seems like he's been fighting injuries his entire time at TCU. Is he bitter with the staff?

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

He's a terrific ballplayer. That's odd since it seemed like he played when he was healthy. But Robinson's good, too.

I didn't realize that they'd lost 3 other players.

 

[jbindm]

Wow. He's actually transferring.

Four transfers in a month? What's that all about?

 

[Gunnerclone]

Four transfers in a month? What's that all about?

I’d say that their coach might be looking to move elsewhere and either he’s told his players to get out mid-season transfer or they aren’t waiting around to find out and lose a semester.

 

[Al_4_State]

Why would Dixon leave? He's an alum, well compensated, and building a program there.

Is he just sick of their fanbase?

 

[DSMCy]

Was Fisher part of Dixon's first class? I know I could look it up, but I wonder if some of the transfers are Trent Johnson guys.
Would make the transfers make a little more sense.

But, TCU is Dixon's alma mater. No coach in their right mind would ever leave their alma mater.

UCLA

 

[heitclone]

Fisher was their most talented player, it helps them that they have more or less played without him this year. TCU will still be decent but this makes their ceiling middle of the pack.

He's a So Cal native. Could be the Bruins in his ear.

 

[kentkel]

UCLA

That would be awesome! And then, TCU could hire Alfraud (a match made in Heaven)!

Yeah, UCLA was my immediate guess and I see a couple others here have said the same. Fine by me. It'd be nice to have a couple doormat teams in the conference.

Because UCLA is a place you can win a national championship, tcu isn’t.

Pitt turned on him, he went home. He’s done a hell of a job there.

He will be one of the leading candidates for UCLA, along with Fred. He’s a hard ass and it’s catching up to him.

 

[MartinCy]

TCU's going to be heavily in search of bodies this off season.
By my count they have 6 returning scholarship players (for now) and 3 players signed in the 2019 class. So 4 spots to fill for sure. No sit out guys that i'm aware of.

 

[Cyforce]

Prohm had shown he likes multiple PGs on the floor together. Be a great sit one play one. How lax are the transfer rules now?

 

[cb1030]

I was always really impressed with Fisher's play. If his knees aren't finished then I think he'll do well somewhere new. Apologize if it's already been mentioned but he would have one or two years left? Two with a medical red-shirt?
