Top available transfers.


Copied from r/CollegeBasketball

  1. Cameron Johnson SG/SF Pitt, Grad Transfer two years to play Johnson is easily the most desirable transfer. He could help any team immediately and averaged an impressive 12ppg and 42% from 3 at 6'7. Having to years left to play is enormous and is why he is/was being pursued by UNC, UK, and Arizona. It seems like UNC is the team to beat as long as Johnson is cleared to transfer there.

  2. MiKyle McIntosh SF/PF Illinois St, Grad Transfer the versatile McIntosh would be a good starter or role player for numerous high major teams. It seems like Oregon and SMU are involved, but teams like Michigan, Duke, UNC, and Nova could really use him. Averaged 12.5ppg 5.6rpg and shot 35% from three.

  3. Geno Thorpe PG/SG USF, Grad Transfer Thorpe was a high volume scorer for a bad USF team and is presumably looking to play a smaller role for a better team. Syracuse, Pitt, and Seton Hall seem to be involved, although SH may have backed off. Cuse seems like the best combination of potential playing time and team success. 15ppg 4.5apg 38% 3pt.

  4. Vance Jackson SF UConn, Sit one play 3 Jackson had a promising freshman season for UConn and probably played a bigger role than he was ready for due to injuries to Gilbert and Larrier. The big wing shot mostly threes, but hit a very high clip for a freshman. He seems to be considering Rutgers and Baylor, but Baylor seems like the best fit since they have had success with big wings like Taurean Prince recently. 8ppg 4rpg 41%fg 40%3pt.

  5. Jalen Coleman-Lands SG Illinois, Sit one play 2 Coleman was a very highly rated recruit who has not developed to be more than a 3pt shooter, albeit a very effective one. DePaul is rumored to be in the lead because they hired his former HS coach. 8ppg 36%fg 38%3pt

  6. DeJon Jarreau PG/SG/Brison Gresham PF/C UMass, Sit one play 3 This package deal is very intriguing since only teams with two open scholarships can put their hat in the ring. Jarreau is the more highly regarded player, but both were top 150 recruits. Creighton, Auburn, and UConn are involved, but UConn seems to be the best fit as they could really use both players. Jarreau 10ppg 4rpg 4.5apg 24%3pt. Gresham 3ppg 3rpg 63%fg 27%ft.

  7. Samir Doughty SG VCU, Sit one play 2 Doughty is a quality scorer who played a key role for VCU this year. He had to sit his freshman year due to academics so he will only have two years to play. The rumor is that academics were the reason he is leaving so maybe JUCO is in his future. 9ppg 4rpg 28%3pt

  8. Collin Smith C GW, Sit one play 3 Smith is a bit of a sleeper who unexpectedly started for GW over their top recruit Kevin Marfo. Smith averaged 6ppg 4rpg and 1 block in 18 mins. 6'10 and shot 39% from 3 in a small sample(10 makes)

  9. Kam Rooks C Cal, Grad Transfer Rooks is an enormous center who played a reserve role for Cal while battling through injuries. He can give quality depth and backup center minutes to a team in need. 5ppg 4.5rpg 1block in 17mins.

  10. Juwan Durham PF UConn, Sit one play 3 Durham had a disappointing freshman season, but was coming off two knee injuries so rust was understandable. In theory, sitting next year should allow him to recover even more and allow him to resemble his former self. When healthy Durham was a top 50 high school prospect and a quality face up PF. 1.5ppg 1.5rpg in 8 mpg. The list of schools show that people still value his potential: VT, ND, Lville, Duke
Other notable transfers

Brandon Alstorn SG Lehigh, Grad Transfer with two years to play

Bryan Alberts SG Gonzaga, Grad Transfer with two years to play

These guys are valuable because they have two years to play right away. Alstorn was a role player at Lehigh and is being looked at by UMass and Alberts rarely played on a loaded Gonzaga team.

Darien Williams PF St. Johns, Grad Transfer

Rashad Muhammad SG Miami, Grad Transfer

Zach Lofton SG Texas Southern, Grad Transfer

All three of these guys can play immediately and could be valuable reserves for high major teams who need depth.

Jethro Tshisumpa C Arizona St, sit one play 3

Troy Baxter SF/PF UNLV, sit one play 3

Sedee Kieta PF/C South Car, sit one play 3

These guys were highly rated recruits who under performed as freshman. Kieta is visiting St. Johns soon which seems like a good fit.

Personally, I would be diappointed in the staff if they do not fill the last two spots this summer. Open schollies for midterm is not what this team needs. They need a good shooting guard now..

It's division 1, they used to be called U of Texas-Pan American but two years ago merged with another school to for UT Rio Grande Valley. They play in the WAC, I think they used to be in the Sunbelt at one time.

I would love to get another solid guard to play on the scout team. Would pay huge dividends for Wiggington and Jackson

Using those, my wish-list order — with some consideration if ISU has a shot, and a lean toward grad transfers:
1. McIntosh
2. Thorpe
3. Lofton
4. Coleman-Lands
5. Smith
6. Rooks

Just so you know...Rooks is off the board to San Diego State, McIntosh is blocked from us, Thorpe has never once mentioned interest.

I won't claim to know much about transfer rules... but if McIntosh is a grad transfer... How are we being blocked? Quick Google search didn't turn up anything for me either.

We're playing in the same tournament next year, and could potentially face them as an opponent.

I hear ya....you wouldn't think so, but apparently they can be. Pitt is trying to do the same to Cam Johnson with NCar but sound like he's meeting with Roy anyway. Of course that is in the same conference at least. We may not even play Illinois State in that tournament.

I may be wrong but im pretty sure you cant restrict grad transfers..don't see how thats possible if kid has graduated from college. What if said kid wants to enroll on a grad program that his current school doesnt offer? I believe your obligation to the school ends as an undergrad once you graduate.

I'm prob wrong but I'd never heard of restricting a grad transfer prior to this year maybe i just missed it.
