***Official 2017 Transfer Thread***

From an article about Bragg's departure.

Bragg’s departure opens up another scholarship and Self recently told the Journal-World he would like to add “a quick-twitch 4 man” to back up incoming freshman Billy Preston.

“If he’s not a quick-twitch guy, then hopefully a guy that’s big enough to play the 5,” Self said of his aspirations for adding another big man to the 2017 recruiting class. “But there’s some guys out there and there’s gonna be a lot of seniors that will look to transfer so hopefully we’ll find one.”

So we know Juiston is getting pitched a back up role
If this were a fortune cookie, that would definitely be an insult.

Interest in Alstork makes me think that Edwards is a back up plan but this weekend is when we could get him to come in. I think Shayok looks like he's a shoe in for a sit out player that we were looking for, so the other guard position would have to be an immediate player that can provide some scoring chops. Wondering what else we are in for posts as I'm sure we aren't just putting our eggs in the Juiston basket.

I wouldn't assume that.

I actually think Edwards is the priority since the staff has been evaluating him for a while and is his first visit during the open period. The staff just contacted Alstork and haven't set a visit.

I agree. Alstork has only been contacted while Edwards is visiting. You absolutely take Edwards if he is ready to commit and your evaluation is positive when he is on campus.

I wouldn't say that's conclusive. It's pretty tough to recruit guys until they become available, so of course we're further along with Edwards.
 


6-2 210 guard originally from Toronto and played AAU ball with CIA bounce. Lindell Wiggington and him follow each other on twitter.


Interesting career at OSU.

14-15 10.7 ppg 3.0 rpg 3.5 apg in 36 min

16-17 sat out for "personal reasons"

How Edwards does in the scrimmage against the guys we have on campus now will probably determine if ISU takes him. The coaches like him, but he's gotta prove it once he's on campus. Same reason we passed on guys like Justin Edwards who ended up at KSU.

Remember reading that's why they passed on Leland King as well. Brown transfer who ended up at Nevada.

Wasn't there someone we supposedly passed on that ended up having a decent year at their chosen school?
