Potential MBB Transfers
- Thread starter Taco
- Start date
Kelsey Barlow is not worth a roster spot especially if he has to sit our a year just to play a year
This story may pertain to ISU, but only because we are competing with Purdue for a tourney spot, not because they are going to transfer here.
I would expect that neither Illinois nor Purdue will make the tourney now.

This. I am not saying that we are too good for transfers now or anything, but I can see only 2 reasons Fred would go that route.
1. The guy is an elite talant.
2. We become a victim of the transfer system again (which I doubt) and lose several players.
Don't be so sure we won't take 1-2. We lose a lot after next year, so if we were to lose say Railey and Sledge this year and there was an extra ride available, I could see us taking another transfer, particularly if a big man is available, to set us up for 2013, when we'll have to replace:
Babb, Booker, Clyburn, Lucious, McGee and quite possibly Royce.
With playing time like that available, I think I will head out to the driveway now to practice. What position does a short, slow, middle-aged guy with no hops that can't shoot play?
You'll have to beat me out for the position!
I'm also middle-aged, but I have a little speed/quickness, I'm semi-non-short and shoot nearly 40 percent when unguarded inside of 9 feet.
Downsides: My once-competent vertical leap has regressed to roughly 4 inches; physically reliable only for 3-minute stretches.
:smile:
Not bragging, but I would get the position, hands down. I have the body type of Ron Virgil with the speed and quickness of Oliver Miller.
