RECRUITING: A transfer to keep en eye on

Of course they will.... if it wasn't them, it would be Kansas. I'm not sure but Marvin Clark might have been better than both those grad transfers if he would have stayed. The big guys that wait can sure end up getting interest from multiple big name teams, many of which they wouldn't have even got a sniff from earlier in their career. Must feel like Christmas to them.
If you go by how they played the very little that they did play, Carter looked better than Ernst, if only for the fact that he had some positive plays. Carter at least showed some athleticism and that he could finish near the rim. Ernst played so little we saw nothing good or bad.
I agree, just saying grad transfers want minutes. We don't have a ton. I am not saying they wouldn't be better than young next year. Sure they would. But having a guy for the following year is going to be important. It's a balance. Right now we are likely going to be filing 6 for 17' assuming 5 plus at least 1 attrition. I just don't want to be filling 8 spots.
On the other hand, Ernst seems less lost on offense and always in the correct position on defense.
You are comparing him to two bad rebounders. I don't understand the comparison. Do people who expect him to play post not want a guy to average at least better than Niang and Nader for rebounds? A lot of rainbow riding going on in here.

Don't lose sleep over it buddy. I guarantee we won't award 14 or 15 scholarships, and then be punished by the NCAA. I promise it will all work out.
We can wishfully think about reeling in Livingston or Davis, Young showing up and being able to play at a high level, or Ernst and Carter improving by leaps and bounds over the summer, but I don't think you can rely on any of those guys to be frontcourt depth next year. Jones may just be an incremental improvement over the 7th or 8th man on the roster, but that's still an improvement.
Guys...Kobe Bryant has 4 years of college eligibility. Let's get him!
In before...he hired an agent bleh bleh bleh bleh :elvis:

Are your initials JA by any chance? You seem to be taking the Jordon Ashton stuff really hard.
Meh I can only see 1 player leaving. I think a lot of people think Cooke will leave but that's just stupid. He'll already used his redshirt and will be a junior.
