***Official 2019-2020 Transfer Thread***

Why would you continue to follow a kid that you might not ever talk to again for the rest of your life? If coaches never unfollowed the recruits they miss, they would eventually be following hundreds of teenagers that they never talk to. Their twitter feed would be full of nonsense. Lol

My question was totally out of curiosity, I get your point but this situation kind of disproves it. We just recruited Carton a year and a half ago, sure he committed to tOSU but here we are recruiting him again. Seems like there could be benefit to maintaining those relationships. Especially with the spring being a de facto free agency period. Who knows though, maybe it could depend on what kind relationship they had during the previous recruitment.

yeah i believe i read we have had our name attached to like 17 transfers that have commited this offseason so 0/17 so far

Kind of like us from the 3 point line this year!

Might be about the appearance of tampering. A head coach following or communicating too much with a player at another school would have to raise a few eyebrows, I'd think.

This actually makes much more sense than a coach having too many good players on Twitter.

Weird that what Burton describes that he wanted in a school sounded very similar to Iowa State yet we didnt make his final cut. Makes me think we backed off because we have a good feeling about someone else but highly doubt it

I don't believe that we're the one backing off in transfer recruiting.

Realistically, how many players do you recruit out of high school and then recruit a second time a couple years later? Probably not many and you can’t waste time maintaining all of those relationships in the small chance that you might recruit one of them again. And like somebody else already mentioned, the tampering thing.

Just talking about him specifically but yes we cant be backing off of anyone right now lol

Its almost like you can get drafted out of anywhere and having a good Xs and Os coaches that can get along with his players is slightly more important.

I honestly don't remember one player we recruited out of high school that we were serious contenders for in the transfer market. Almost all of them were guys we never recruited. I remember giving Babb and Nader a little recruiting in high school. Other than that we semi recruited White but we all knew we had no shot at that time.

2 minutes until Turner commits to Iowa State, hope this ages well

Pretty sure it was 3 pm central time, so, no I don't think it aged well.

This seems to me to be somewhat of a trend for the grad transfers this year. Unknown timeline throws a wrench into things.

 

[WastedTalent]

It's not a miss if he never was a transfer...
