***Official 2017 Transfer Thread***

[Cyclonepride]

Looking at the transfer list, am I correct in my assumption that every player in college basketball has asked for his release this year?

Good news for us. We have a lot of positive things going for us that would make us attractive to transfers right now, and I think there are an awful lot of good ones available. Should be able to snag a couple good ones.

 

[RustShack]

They're not immediate players. Sit 2017-2018.

Clearly. Which is why I said both, then two more immediate players.

Man, McDermott is getting his share. Watson and Huff were among two of his best transfers this past two seasons.

As was Foster.

Rice's Marcus Evans will transfer, per his twitter page. Averaged 19.0 PPG. Two years of eligibility remaining. Long line for this one.

Has there ever been a transfer Matt Abdelmassih hasn't reached out to?

 

[Goclones1727]

Outside of twitter follows, have there been any reports of guys we've actually been in contact with?

Nothing yet.

Nothing yet.

What are we waiting for?

Probably catching up on the fall TV season on the DVR first. They'll start thinking about filling those schollies soon.

It sounds like Prohm is confident in our guards and wants to make sure any transfers are home runs. That says to me he's confident in the roster, potential JUCOs and his staff's recruiting. I'd still like to see us get Shayok or Morrow. I think he may be a little gunshy after Bowie and Holden. In Hines' interview, it sounded like Prohm was uncomfortable with the mid-season musical chairs at the 5.

I like to think they're evaluating who they want to target.

 

[CyTwins]

Probably a good thing realistically

 

[NATEizKING]

A baby.

 

[allfourcy]

Of course. When I said 'what', it meant 'what type of player or transfer' are we actually seeking? Perhaps I should have worded that... " 'Who' are we waiting for"? Obviously we have to be selective.

Not really insider info so I feel like it's okay to share. Alex Halsted just posted this on 247

"Didn't get much insight into the thought process other than it sounds like a sit-out would be frontcourt most likely"

 

[woodm07]

What are we waiting for?

Trigger shy after a few transfers and recruits that didn't work out?

From the Hines interview I'd say it's more of a contentment with being young and treating next year as a reset (rather than reloading) than it is confidence.

 

[Knownothing]

If next year is a reset lets go with what we got and take four wit out guys. Like the Royce white sitnout year.

This staff is pretty quiet about its recruiting. Why would the transfer information be any different?

So quiet that nothing is coming from the player side? This isn't a JP job search or hidden gem high school guy.

I don't think they've been in contact with anyone that has released a list yet
