Good effort, but nope! DeJulius didn’t get recruited over as the poster alluded to.
Smith will help soften the loss, though.

Please don’t ***** at the posters who bring information to the board.
If you're implying Michigan was expecting him to leave or pushed him out, that is not true.
No offense but that's 1976. If he has any information beyond a magic 8 ball it'd be utterly shocking.
He publishes a top 10 several days ago, no Cyclones or Big 12 schools for that matter.
His school he's leaving, George Mason, is in his "transfer" top 10 (wtf). Now this morning Iowa State is in the mix. Truly a unique transfer season for the ages.
It'll be interesting to see what rules exist when NCAA approves the immediate transfer option, because right now transfers are rapidly turning into the same scenario as declare for NBA, but eligible to return.
This is all hypothetical until we land either of them, but DeJulius fixes our PG problem, and Kier fixes our wing problem. He'd start at the 3, Bolton at the 2, Johnson at the 4, and Solomon at the 5.
Off the bench, you have Conditt and Jackson, with 2 of the freshman contributing to some extent (Foster and Blackwell/Dubar).
Steve doesn't often go deep into the bench. He only does so if he absolutely has to. Say we land those two guys.. We have our starting 5 set, we already have Conditt and Jackson as nice bench guys, and then we're expecting 2 of the freshman to contribute some. That's 9 guys right there. That team isn't winning the Big 12 title or anything, but they'll for sure be competitive. Adding anyone after these two transfers would certainly help, but I don't think we need more than those two to simply be a competitive team.

Well that's why I stated hypothetically.. Obviously if we don't get him it changes things.
It appears we just reached out today. The Kier report comes within hours of DeJulius announcing a decision time and everything points to Cincy.
The George Mason looks alright but the next mid major transfer Steve gets that pans out will be his first. It's going to be tough to sell p6 kids on coming in to a rebuild so I think we're really only looking at mid major kids just looking for more pub.
Based on what? It's certainly possible we only reached out today. But, just because someone posted today on Twitter that we reached out, that doesn't mean we reached out TODAY, it just means they reported on it TODAY.
