A player that understood his role on a loaded team that wants to expand his role on a different team would be very welcoming

It would but so would someone who can score and has some length. You really like the idea of Perry, Bolton and Jackson as the starting backcourt?

Ranked No. 98 in the 2017 class, Darius Perry was a former Rick Pitino recruit who stuck things out for the first two years of the Chris Mack era at Louisville. He did a good job of changing his playing style to fit the defensive schemes that Mack has been respected for, but Perry's offensive numbers never improved the way some had expected. This winter, Perry mustered just five points and close to three assists per game and his field-goal percentage hovered below 40 percent.

However, he is a quick-twitch, tough-nosed guard who can plug a number of holes, and his experience cannot be understated. His recruitment won’t play out as long as some others, and a cut school list is expected to be produced sometime soon. Currently, the schools involved include Alabama, Arizona State, Gonzaga, Iona, Iowa State, Marquette, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, San Diego State, Seton Hall, Texas and Wichita State.

Pretty much the Shayok profile right there.

Guy seems like a good get. Louisville writer noted that he lacked consistency, and that was the general issue to his/Mack's moving on.

This is what we get? If you can’t tell a kid that you’ll be STARTING in front of 15k fans in the big 12 conference and playing 35 minutes a game then idk what to think. It’s mind boggling. I get recruiting is hard but we should be appealing to the top of the top transfers because they will START and play ball. There is no competition at all. I see Bolton starting and other than that there’s literally 4 up for grabs.

I have more of a chance of playing for Iowa State next year then this kid does.

We have more than one scholarship available.

But how many starting spots? I'd guess Jackson is expecting to start, Bolton and Solo are locks. Johnson would be in the mix, all 3 of these guys are going to want to start. Essentially any transfer worth taking is going to expect to start, I'm think we'd have 2 starting spots max.

Bolton and Solo are the only locks to start

How bout you tell me why he would come here with this list:

Alabama, Arizona State, Gonzaga, Iona, Iowa State, Marquette, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, San Diego State, Seton Hall, Texas and Wichita State.

We have very little talent on the roster, we have the worst coach on this list, and he can have immediate playing time with most of these schools.

ASU/SDSU/Marquette/Gonzaga/SH/OR all tournament schools, while OK/Texas/WSU all offer immediate playing time as well, with better coaches. If the list cuts down to Iona, Ole Miss and us, I like our chances.

So you're telling me he's too good to come here and @heitclone is saying he's not a take yet. I'll let you two battle that one out

right now Prohm is sitting at the bar at 1.56 am looking for whatever he can get. He isn't going to get his first, second, third or fourth pick. He might have a chance with the friendasorous, but he should just be happy someone talks to him at this point.
