this is the last year you could do that though. After this year you can't not take a player off scholarship.

Eh, wut? I doubt this very highly. I believe that some schools are choosing to move towards multi year scholarships but if they can still choose how long they want them to be. If they have an extra scholarship being unused due to a player transfer or whatever, they can still award that to a walk on for the season and then have that player go back to being a walk on the next season. Otherwise, teams would just burn the scholarship so they aren't stuck having to give it to that player for longer and that would be ridiculous.

That's an interesting direction. Didn't think we'd go after any transfers that need to sit. Or guards.

He's 6-6, he'd be one of the tallest guys in the rotation the last few years. A big guard that can shoot, seems like the perfect player for '17. Idk if we can afford to have a schollie sitting out next year.

i was trying to explain it more in the Doug McDermott example. He was on scholarship for 3 years and his senior year he became a walk on so they could add another player. You won't be able to do that anymore. I'm sure you could use an unused scholarship for one year with a walk on with the NCAA's permission.

I have no clue what the rules are, but I think that previous poster was describing taking a scholarship away from a player that was recruited as scholarship player, and moving him to walk on status. In other words, a kid that signed a LOI to be on scholarship, then moving down to walk on status.

I would guess that situation would be pretty rare, so I don't have a good example. Someone mentioned Doug McDermott, but as mentioned, he never signed a LOI. Again, no idea if that makes a difference, but just what I know.

I don't know if I'm big on UNLV players anymore. I feel like their former coach drilled into all his players that it is their team and they are superstars. These players don't know how to play on a team it's all about themselves.

Or...they may thrive with good coaching.

Did you look at his numbers? There's nothing based on them that would tell me he can shoot.

I would say making 48% from 3 as a frosh would indicate he can shoot. In looking back at his original recruitment he was the state of LA player of the year. He originally committed to Tennesee when Cuonzo Martin was coach. He is the classic transfer- does a new environment and coaching allow him to reach his potential?

Who knows, maybe Prohm's staff while at Murray State watched him closely.
 
A sit out guard who averaged a 6 ppg at Mountain West school was not what I would have expected but I'll trust the coaching staff.

Some conferences are now requiring 4 year scholarships rather than the year to year scholarships. So far, it is just a conference decision and not being enforced by the NCAA.

Then what does shooting only 30 percent from 3 this season mean?

We obviously know one. But if they are looking at redshirt transfers, I definitely worry about who the surprise(s) could be.

While a big man may be a priority for 2016-2017, the guard court will need to be a priority for 2017-2018. I don't think it's indicative of anything alarming.

Obviously, he had a bad season. That doesn't mean he is a bad player. Most guys transfer because they are struggling either on or off court. Like I said, it is the job of Coach Prohm to determine if there was a reason he struggled during the past season and if a change in scenery might help.

It is highly unusual for a college to fire their coach mid-season, so obviosly there was a lot going on at UNLV behind the scenes that could impact a team and its players.

Cornish's career shooting percentage from 3 is better than Matt's. Plus, a background as a Top 150 recruit is typically a good thing, as well as that decent list of schools that is after him.

Exactly, if kind of goes with the job to figure out who's legit.
 
Pursuing Cornish makes sense if you read Prohm's interview with the DMR. He's already looking to fill guard spots after next season when Naz, Monte, and Thomas will all be gone. I believe Jackson only has 1 yr of eligibility too, but may be wrong.
