***Official 2016 Transfer Thread***

The good/bad thing about '17-'18 could be that after a few nice tourney runs and spending the last couple seasons being in the top 25, ISU could get opportunities to play in better preseason tourneys or tougher non conference games. It's great to get recognized but now we have to start living up to expectations. As ISU fans we feel like a nationally competitive program, the 17/18 recruiting class could go a long ways to prove or disprove that.

Um, if Grandstaff leaves OU that would be 2 schools in a year? After originally committing to Okie state. Not sure ISU would pursue since a lot of staff turnover since he was first recruited by CFH
Rumor his dad is an issue, starting to get some credibility. Big talent tho.

Not official yet.
@jerrymeyer247 Multiple sources are telling @247Sports that Oklahoma & Austin Grandstaff are parting ways.

Charles Matthews transferring from Kentucky, former top 50 recruit

6-6 190lb SG. Sit 1 play 3. Could be a real solid addition if Romello White doesn't work out.

If I remember right, we slightly recruited Matthews. Also, he is a IL recruit that Robinson can talk to.

My thoughts as well. All in on Romello being priority 1.
Mathews would fit the type of transfer that Prohm said he'd be going after. The location of ISU being a northern school could help the staff's case too if he's looking Big 10 locations.

@phillipshoops Kentucky announced that Charles Matthews is transferring. Former St. Rita star should have a lot of Big Ten/Big East interest.

 

[rholtgraves]

Mathews will get heavy interest. Would be an amazing addition if they don't get White but probably even more difficult to get than White.

Arkansas State's grad transfer Anthony Livingston to Texas Tech. Pretty darn good get for them.

Wow. Really good pickup for them

 

[LLCoolCY]

This would be an intriguing development...
Small is familiar with Mississippi prospects after all.

@JeffGoodmanESPN Malik Newman’s father, Horatio Webster, declined to comment to ESPN — but multiple sources said Newman strongly considering transferring.

He's probably staying in the draft.

 

[Cynonymous]

Looks like Malik Newman is withdrawing from the draft at the same time the buzz about transferring started. The attached article mentions possible problems with playing out of position at Miss St.

Newman may look to transfer

 

[josh4cyclones]

So does Small have a great connection with Newmans HS, town, HS coach, AAU? Would this be something worth Small trying to go after if he requests and gets granted a release? ISU is in dire need of a SG in 2017-18

 

[Cydkar]

Get this notion out if your heads now. Newman is not transferring here.

 

[CyKings]

Get this notion out if your heads now. Newman is not transferring here.

And why not? #TransferU

I'm gonna guess you'll say because he had offers from the likes of KU & KY, regardless, one can dream.

 

[rholtgraves]

I would imagine KU and UK could get involved. KU still has 3 open scholarships I think

 

[brokenloginagain]

has small even got a prospect to visit yet?

I bet the staff is on him, I'd be shocked if we weren't. With where our program is, anyone with big-time talent will listen. Get this kid a visit to Ames. #Transfer U

I put the odds at 1%, anything is possible is transfer recruiting but with his options it doesn't seem to make much sense for him
