Nice article talking about about mid-major conference POY's who decided to stay put instead of transferring. LCJ's featured in the piece. https://watchstadium.com/goodman-hoops-04-08-2020/

Has there been any news on the transfer front? we might need a center to play behind reece

Hawkins out at WMU

is McDonald's interested in sponsoring our conference rebrand?

oof. did not realize it's been that long since we've won against them. their length on the perimeter has really given us trouble.

LCJ just can't buy a bucket tonight

down 8 at halftime isn't horrible considering the shooting and fouls. hopefully the team wakes up at halftime.

Akron: Top-three defensive team in the MAC, but there are still plenty of questions on how the team can score enough to win 20 games."

I don't know much about him but could Xeyrius handle short spurts as a small-ball center? it would help get some shooting on the floor and pull bigs away from the basket. you'd be giving up a lot of size but it might be a nice change-of-pace lineup

I don't think he's primed for a HC job anytime soon but Rob Fulford's experience at Huntington Prep could make him a recruiting tool for a major program

Maybe he's getting some interest from Cincy since Cronin left?

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/04/sports/ncaa-final-four-graduate-transfers.html NCAA considering a rule where if a school receives a grad transfer and the player does not earn his masters degree within 1 year, the school is docked a hoops scholarship the following year (which seems to ignore many grad programs take 2 years to complete) Just putting it on the radar since the Zips seem like a team who could use a grad transfer to fill out next year's roster

One of Jimond's favorite players is Russell Westbrook, I think Jimond really respects how Russ has taken the leadership role in OKC after Kevin Durant left. Could be a blueprint for him to follow.

players typically take courses over the summer to keep their workload during the season down. some players will go "full-time" over the summer, which would make it possible to graduate in 3 years.

on the flip side, it says "I'm not reducing the number of quality candidates by narrowing the scope right off the bat."

There is a concern about lack of size next year, but I think it's important to note Jimond stepped up in the rebounding department towards the end of the season. If he can out-rebound other teams' wings I wouldn't be worried about Utomi playing the 4.

I agree. The difference is none of these schools were saddled with a mediocre FBS football team that limited its options for re-alignment.

Probably wouldn't sit well with future recruits if we were blocking transfers after a coaching change.

http://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2017/03/28/duquesnedambrot-adds-first-player-makes-offers/ The article mentions McFadden and Thomas contacting players on behalf of Duquesne. Sounds like they're leaving with Dambrot.

Does anyone know if Ant or Noah is eligible for a grad transfer? Either of them leaving would be a huge loss.

I'm pretty sure that's Big Dog

Not to pile on the bad news but does anyone wonder what happens to the LBJ relationship now? He still has the initiative between the University and his foundation.

LaMont Paris anyone?
