Of the five top grad transfers that Louisville is looking at four of them are guards and the other is a 7'0" center from Utah. With our current roster being what it is we shouldn't need a center for one season and grad transfer guards would just take minutes away from Crutcher, Chatman, Watson, Matos, Cohill and Landers! Grad transfers are only helpful if you are weak or short at a certain position.
Thanks for forwarding the complete list of transfers, however, because a soph. or jr. sitting out a year to develop ala Obi Toppin could be a bonus or help to balance out the classes.

Then why were we going after Hot Boy? It will be the same guys next year, except Landers, who is not a guard at this point.
It seems we, at least people on this site, think we need a shooter. If one of these guys is a shooter, go after him.

I agree but we would have Hot Boy for 2 years instead of 1 year which is a big difference with graduation and attrition. I definitely believe we need a shooter but I also think that McNeil is the best. He would fill a need that we have been definitely lacking since Norm Grevey and Shawn Haughn played. Shawn still holds the record making 8 for 8 against St. Louis at UD Arena on Feb. 13, 1994. That was 25 years ago!
I will be ready to move on to other recruits or transfers if the rumors are true that he is not coming because in AG I trust. After all, just look at the current roster. Anthony Grant recruited them all except Mikesell and Landers and optimism surrounds next season already!

Braden Norris looks like a pretty good get to me. Sits a year and then he could slide into the starting PG role after Crutcher/Chatman graduate for 2 years
Shot 48.6% from 3, averaged 1.4 steals a game which would have led UD this year
Against Michigan State he had 18 on 6/7 3 point shooting along with steals. Against Xavier he had 14 points with 8 assists & 1 turnover. 13 points & 5 boards against Georgia

From their message board, sounds like chemistry issues:

Hauser's want to play together. Both sit a year then a have one year and three years left. I would take them in a heartbeat.

Chemistry issues? Yes. Doesn't take too much analysis to confirm where the issues are/were. They won't be considering Dayton.

Sounds like the Hauser boys want to play together, but that they both play the same position (stretch 4 or SF). Also, it sounds like they didn't get along too well with some/most of their teammates, and that they didn't like the style of ball that Wojo plays at Marquette.
Didn't we just see this movie a year or so ago?
As for me, no thanks. I don't need to see the sequel.

One is a much better shooter than the other.
Was the chemistry with Howard? Funny because on TV the announcer are always saying how Howard cares more about getting his teammates involved more than scoring. Maybe that wasn't really the case.
I do have to admit when I saw MU get manhandled by Murray State in Hartford at the NCAA's I did say they looked like a team that didn't really want to be there.

Yeah, they're not big fans of Wojo and certainly don't like playing with Howard. Had Howard opted for the draft, they'd be staying at Marquette. I think they end up at Virginia, maybe Wisconsin.

Antwann Jones Jr. was rated the #1 shooting guard in the class of 2018. From Oak Ridge High school in Florida he originally committed to Texas A&M only to change and go to Memphis to play for Penny Hardaway. He was our first recruit for 2018 but the 6'6" SG had higher aspirations. For the Tigers he played in 35 of their 36 games averaging 16.7 minutes. He averaged 4.7 pts. per game, 34% from 3 (15-44) and 84% from the free throw line (38-45). He has entered into the transfer portal and would sit one year and have 3 years of eligibility.
My guess is that he was not happy with his playing time as Memphis was loaded with upper classman guards.
He is probably the best athlete of all the shooting guards that are transferring and would help balance out our classes from 2020 thru 2022.

It sounds like he's getting recruited over there. They've got several big name national guards/wings they're on in and could in end up with the #1 class in the country
A sit one, play 3 is ideal this year in my opinion

Howard 6-1 sophomore guard R.J. Cole told @Stadium he has put his name in the transfer portal and also will declare for the NBA Draft. Cole was MEAC Player of the Year and averaged 21.4 points per game. Former Howard coach Kevin Nickelberry told me he’s a definite high-major guy.

My son is a Kentucky grad and therefore follows the Wildcats religiously as most cats fans do. According to him, Jamarl Baker would be a fantastic addition to a program like Dayton. Baker has a reputation as a good 3-point shooter and lock down perimeter defender. He was ranked between 50-100 nationally a few years ago. Unfortunately, these players don't work at a program like UK because they get recruited over by 5 stars and only get to play 10-15 minutes per game. This makes it tough for a shooter to get into rhythm and gain confidence. Baker is from California and my guess is he will end up transferring to a school out west.

Couldn't agree more that Baker would be a great addition. But it ain't happening.
He didn't keep it a secret during the season that he was homesick. I'd be shocked if he transfers anywhere other than west coast.
And while his defense improved to the point where he didn't have to hit 3's to stay on the floor, he was nowhere close to a lock down defender. Capable defender is a better description. He got beat bad twice in a row against Auburn in first half and never saw the floor again. Trust just wasn't there on that end of the floor.

Throw in a suspension for 'violation of team rules' in March, and his less than stellar performance and Jordy would have to be one heck of a positive character witness to change this from "pass".

A transfer ranking list from Stadium's Jeff Goodman. Jordan Davis is #50
50) Jordan Davis, 6-2, 195, SG, Soph., Dayton
Stats: 9.8 ppg, 2.8 rpg
Scout’s take: “Pure shooting guard who can play the point in a pinch. He has tremendous shooting range, although streaky at times. He also has the ability to explode to the rim as well. Has the tools to be a good defender. Needs to learn how to utilize his strong, athletic frame better.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE

Per a source, Oakland freshman transfer guard Braden Norris was visited and offered by Richmond this week. Norris will visit Toledo and Butler, in addition to his visit to Notre Dame last week.
One of the most efficient freshman guards in the country last year. Elite shooter

A transfer ranking list from Stadium's Jeff Goodman. Jordan Davis is #50
50) Jordan Davis, 6-2, 195, SG, Soph., Dayton
Stats: 9.8 ppg, 2.8 rpg
Scout’s take: “Pure shooting guard who can play the point in a pinch. He has tremendous shooting range, although streaky at times. He also has the ability to explode to the rim as well. Has the tools to be a good defender. Needs to learn how to utilize his strong, athletic frame better.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE

I wish we had gotten a taste of his pure shooting.

We did at times. The description also said it was streaky, which was accurate.

There is a huge difference between high school and college! At Dutch Fork High School in Irmo, SC Jordan Davis was a legend. The schools all-time leading scorer with 1,659 pts. Davis averaged 22.3 pts. for his career. I went back and looked at his youtube videos and he was a pure shooter especially from three point range but those videos only show the highlights and that is where the term streaky originates!
I wish we could have seen a few more of those 3's he made in high school games fall when we needed them the most! It would have definitely put us into the conversation for an NCAA birth this past season! That being said, I will never fault his effort and I wish him the best of luck at Middle Tennessee and wherever else his basketball career takes him.

Jordan was a favorite of mine over the last two years and I always loved his effort, although I wish he'd played with a bit more emotion at times. With that being said it is hard to classify him as a pure shooter at the college level. Maybe in high school but not in college...so far anyway.

Some would surmise there are a lot (huge majority) of horrible transfers if there are 685 and JD is #50.
We should be able to fill AG’s needs with a list that long if he chooses to take that route.

It has to be a significant amount. It seems like a lot of kids will take a low P5 offer over a high mid major just to be in a P5. After a year or two, they realize they won't likely see the court (or the coach is canned) and they look to move down.

I think we forget (some intentionally lol) that JD was a two year true Soph starter who averaged over 9ppg, shot 36% from 3. Yes, he was streaky and completely absent at times. But nonetheless a two year starter at a high major program that won 20+ games this year. On paper, when you're analyzing 685 kids that decide that they want to play somewhere else JD's numbers, physical build and highlight reel should standout. The kid played a lot in two years, he better have good highlights compared to most kids who put their name in the portal. #50 seems about right.
For reference, JD and Ibi Watson had very similar recruiting rankings coming out of HS. Ibi scored 82 points at Michigan. JD put up 570+ for us. I was very excited when we landed Ibi and I'm really looking forward to seeing him this year. I'm sure most program's would be very excited to land a kid with JDs numbers.

6'6 guard, who took 133 threes and hit 38%. Average 14 pts and 6 rebounds. Has two years left.
On Wednesday St John's junior college commit, Valdir Manuel, opened up his recruitment. Last Friday, the team’s other incoming recruit, junior college point guard Cam Mack, requested a release from his National Letter of Intent amid rumors of Mullin potentially leaving, and on Monday four-star junior guard Nate Tabor decommitted.

Zagoria reported last night that LJ Figueroa was en route to WKU for an official visit. He's also scheduled for Arkansas and planning on seeing UGA and Miami.
Looks like we're on the outside but knocking on the door. Who knows, maybe the Ricardo Greer connection along with Jhery help us land LJ.
I kind of find it funny he's visiting Arkansas...Mike Anderson just got fired from there and hired at St. John's lol. LJ's still considering staying put at St. John's.

@VerbalCommits
Texas A&M G Brandon Mahan (SO) has entered the transfer portal. (HT
@mzenitz) (link: http://verbalcommits.com/players/brandon-mahan) verbalcommits.com/players/brando…
UD recruited him out of junior college last. Shot 50.9-percent from the field and 50.3 percent from beyond the arc in JUCO
6'5 guard soph. guard of Birmingham, Al. Put up 5.9ppg & 2.8 boards on 38.4% from 3. Had a couple big games last year

He seems to be a SG about the same size as Jordan Davis with approximately the same 3pt percentage (43 for 112) at 38.4%. What is not listed is his free throw percentage. A disappointing (21 for 34) for only 61.8%. He didn't get to the line very often!
I think if we are going to look at transfers at the guard position they should shoot 80% or better from the free throw line. You oldtimers may remember some 20 years ago Shawnta Rogers the diminuitive guard from George Washington. Every time they had a lead at the end of a game they would put the ball in his hands and he would just step up to the line and make every darn free throw. It was frustrating for the Flyers! I would like to see us get a player like that who can salt the game away when the opponent is fouling to stop the clock! Rogers was 125 for 144 from the line for 86.8% as a senior in 1999!
I was wrong, Davis only shot 32.9% this past season from 3 point range.

I think with Mahan you're hoping he translates his shooting upside from JUCO. 79.7% from the line at JUCO. eye popping 88-175 from three

You may be right! That would be great if he could return to his JUCO numbers! AG has proved to be a great recruiter so far and especially has an eye for valuable transfers. If not Mahan, I'm sure he has his eye on someone else. We should hear something in the near future but, if not, I will be excited to go into next season with the players who are currently on the roster! He may save both scholarships and carry them over!

I think carrying them over isn't a bad idea
If Dayton has a big year next and Obi gets national attention developing into a first round pick that's gonna open up some doors that might not have been there this year

New Transfer to keep an eye on
6'7" Memphis Freshman, David Wingett out of Nebraska... Sit 1 Play 3
We offered him the past Spring but he chose the Tigers over UD and others.
Coach Greer just started to follow him

Wingett was out most of last year with a leg fracture, so may have four years left.
"Wingett led Winnebago (Nebraska) High School to the 2015 Class C-1 state championship and averaged 20.8 points and 4.9 rebounds during his career. . . . He finished his career at Winnebago as the second-leading scorer in Nebraska prep history with more than 2,200 points. . . . A left-handed shooter, he is a Native American and a member of the Winnebago Tribe. . . . He spent a post-graduate year last season at Bull City Prep Academy in Durham, N.C., where he averaged 25.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. . . . . . At Bull City, he was an effective shooter from beyond the arc, where he shot 47 percent. In a Nov. 18 victory over Orangeburg Prep Academy (S.C.), Wingett went 8-of-8 from three-point range."

I know nothing about this recruit so do not think the following is a negative...just passing on info. C1 schools in NE are pretty small. My high school was a C1. My graduation class was around 76 students. Again, just a point of reference, not a criticism.

I remember when we were recruiting him last year he played for a small high school I believe on a reservation so he didn't get much recruiting attention
He went to do a 5th year at Bull City and that's when he really got on recruiting radars

I’m not really surprised he’s leaving Nebraska. I was watching one of their games a few weeks ago and his body language when pulled from the game wasn’t good. In fact, I even mentioned to my son that he doesn’t look very happy and wondered if he regrets his decision to play at Nebraska. Would Dayton have any interest? Not sure CAG ever made an offer to Curtis.

I thought CAG recruited him a bit both before his original commitment, and again after he decommitted, then again after his second decommitment (if I have the timeline correct, thought he committed to X, then to UC then I guess to nebraska, may have the order of the first 2 switched up, both schools have changed coaches in the last 2 years, he was an early commit).
Anyhoo, I could get behind him coming to UD. I'm not sure how much they need another SG/Wing, but he's a talented kid. Don't know about the makeup and how he'd fit in with the kids who just signed.

with the 3 freshman signed is he redundant? Or is he talented enough he'd still be a take?
I'd have to think a PG has to be high on the list of needs

Call him a wing, or call him a guard, whatever. AG is recruiting ballers, and if we didn't pursue him before IMO it's just taking on someone elses problem in this case. Not opposed to transfers, but beware of this baggage.

He is a freshman 8 games into the season, is it that bad that he is throwing in the towel already or is he like many kids these days expecting things handed to them, in this case minutes?

Samari just seems like a kid who makes very emotional, quick decisions. Mack left, he left, Cronin leaves, he bounces. Doesn't get a ton of time at Nebraska, he's out.
Not necessarily a red flag but I hope the young man takes his time making his next decision. I hope all works out for him and he ends up at a great program that's a tremendous fit for him

I would disagree—it’s a red flag.

Not necessarily a red flag but I hope the young man takes his time making his next decision. I hope all works out for him and he ends up at a great program that's a tremendous fit for him

I want the best for everyone, but all the school-hopping is a big red flag for me. I get that the first 2 were because the successful coaches who recruited him left for other pastures. But to then make a commitment to a 3rd school, give it 6 games, and say “Yeaah....no”? Sorry, but to me, that says the kid doesn’t know what he wants. If he has “commitment” issues, I’m not sure he’s right for this program.
Now, CAG could bring him in, have him meet the guys, and he’d get along great, and he could be a great fit for the program. But at this point, his sudden departure this early in the season screams “Scott Gray” to me (and kudos to the Priders who “get” that reference).

are you guys kidding? Think of Devin Oliver- ha, that old trope never dies.
The one in a great while that actually pans out. Let someone else roll the dice, we should stick to better odds.

Googled him and found this article written after he left UD:

Yeah, he was in the same freshman class as Velvet and Paul “The Hawk” Hawkins (and me, but I was a musician, not an athlete). When you consider that none of them was over 6’4”, and that Velvet and Hawk were stronger and more athletic, it’s easy to see why Coach Donoher wanted Gray at the point. But he left UD, never to play high-level basketball again. A very strange situation.

But they all played for good teams, and did not quit a few weeks into the season.

"After consultation with my family and coach, I have made the decision to reopen my college recruitment," Williams wrote on Twitter. "I thank Coach Ewing, the Georgetown University coaching staff, and the great Hoya fans for their interest and support. MY CLIENT . . . I mean "I" wish the team all the best for the remainder of the season and beyond."

The Googles have nothing (at least, nothing I've found yet) on his life post-UD, let alone his basketball career. I mean, after that 1981 article, he seems to have gone completely off-the-grid.

Anyhoo, I could get behind him coming to UD. I'm not sure how much they need another SG/Wing, but he's a talented kid. Don't know about the makeup and how he'd fit in with the kids who just signed.

I spoke with a teacher/coach at Xenia when his recruitment was still open. They said he's a great kid, great talent and a gym rat. However, very challenged in the classroom...…..fwiw...

I've heard that. Maybe true. Coming from Xenia, I'm sure if he was a good fit for UD, Coach would have been all over him.
He was a great HS player. Best of luck to him, elsewhere.

As I've stated before about Samari, my son played 3 years of AAU ball with him, so I/we know him well.
We were both shocked when he announced he was going to Nebraska because he is so tight with his family. My best guess is that he's more homesick than frustrated with playing time and will try to find a fit somewhere close to home.
FWIW, if he's interested in UD, I'd take him.

wait a second...
one of the major reasons we
are as deep as we are, is because of
Coach Grant's ability to evaluate talent
both out of high schools and transfers...
did he not average 33 points as a senior?
I'll leave it to CAG... if he thinks he
can be a valuable addition, go get him...
shoot, they may already be talking to
each other... who knows? trust in Grant
Go Flyers!

So far CAG’s talent for finding talent that fits the culture has been fantastic. Talent alone won’t get sniffs as it should be here. We already saw talent ruin a very promising year and lack of culture spoil 2 years of great promise that under achieved due to lack of proper culture.
We are reaping the rewards of CAG implementing from day1 that it’s his way or the highway. While some complained about it and discredited his coaching wisdom in it, it was necessary for the long haul.

I have to agree with everyone, without knowing
the inside info...
trust the Coach here,
there must be a good reason for not
pursuing... something
best of luck to him, lets move on

Anyone else interested in the Mitchell twins? 6'9, 230lb Freshman that initially committed to Maryland. Both brothers were Top 200 recruits with Makhi being a consensus Top 75 kid. They entered the transfer portal on Friday, 12/27.
Could be potential headcases but with the right guidance and coaching each could blossom into an absolute stud. I think CAG and staff could do wonders. They seem like a package deal.
Thoughts?

We don’t want or need players with attitudes like the recent transfer to Akron.

Who says they had/have attitudes? Anyone has potential to be a headcase...none of us are in the Terps lockeroom. We don't know.
If I'm CAG I'm atleast inquiring.

Not sure what the deal is with the Mitchell twins. They were both getting playing time, and the team’s depth chart is favorable for them to earn more. This one is a head scratcher, but definitely worth a look.
