***Official 2017 Transfer Thread***

Please don't take it personally, but some of these type jokes don't cause me to even chuckle anymore. All I heard was how Bohannon and Pemsl weren't athletic enough. Bull. They are going to challenge for all-big 10 status some year and have good careers. Dislike the Hawks (mostly their put-down fans and how they treat us) as much as the next guy, but I think Fran has proven he can recruit well enough and coach them.

I agree with you in the fact that posters here play down the ability of Bohannon and Pemsl, and they are better than they get credit for on here. But, if those two are all big10 some year, the big 10 will have to be down. They still bring in big time recruits in that conference.

Didn't do much at UConn but a 4* out of high school.

Don't worry about me being offended or anything. I don't take anything personally anymore. I probably should stop with these types of jokes but I think I'm still suffering from a bit of Woodbury withdrawal. He really was a perfect villain for a Cyclone fan.

Tyler Cook has a higher ceiling than both Bohannon and Pemsl. Fran can recruit, but his teams leave you wanting more. (That could be said for any team) Think if the talent that has gone through there recently Marble Jr., White, Utoff, Jok, etc. Has it translated into the success that it should have?

I think Fran's red-faced baby act on the sidelines sometimes translates to his team and they wilt under pressure. They can beat anybody, but not consistently beating teams they should. Example -- TCU in Iowa City.

I really think Bohannon is all big 10 material, regardless of rest of conference
/stars. Kid can run a team and shoot the rock. But guess I have a weak spot for great shooters.

We already have an elite athlete that isn't exactly great at basketball? Of course he's not great at basketball. Lanning wrestled in HS.

Pages and pages of posts about players we've expressed no interest in. Makes sense.

I look at this thread more of an all news about transfers. Even if 99% of the guys don't end up here it's cool to see where they go.

Got Cuonzo Martin written all over it. A whole different type of "shady" just showed up in Columbia.

I wouldnt hate this. I was reading more into him and while his numbers haven't been amazing. He is suppose to be the starting center for UCONN next year. If he came here he can use a redshirt to sit out and we would have a big 6-11 center for two years.

 

[allfourcy]

Not that I really want to talk more about the rival on here, but where are you that are so disagreeing, think I 'm so off base on this?? As their team gets better with experience, he'll get even more shots & assists. Seems like a great shooter, with range, to me. I must be going blind then.

Does a 4-man priority mean this pretty much says Solomon will stay at the 5 position then, for the most part?

Reading between the lines he is looking for a stretch 4 man like Burton played for ISU this year i.e. Justion. In that scenario Solomon would man the 4. It would allow for big lineups the Stretch 4 moving to the SF, Solomon to the PF and slot Kosongo/Lard at the C.

Personal opinion, I feel Young and Lard will combine to give us a solid 40 minutes at the 5.
