My exhaustive list of intriguing transfer candidates (and ongoing transfer watch)
- Thread starter kcg88
- Start date
I do not believe the unit would rebound, nor hold their own defensively at the level Coach wants. When EO went down there was an opportunity to play Harper at the "4" and instead Coach went to Carter. After three years Ive seen enough to believe I am correct in stating (outside of OOC games) Coach plays combos at the 4/5 that will likely be: EO/Myles, Carter/Doucoure, EO/Carter rather than (for example) Harper/EO.
That written IF Harper gets a bit stronger defensively and in the absence of a transfer in like Yeboah it would not surprise me to see Coach use Harper at the "4" to rest EO for some minutes. A lineup on the floor could look like: Mulcahy/Baker/McConnell/Harper/Myles or Young/Mathis/McConnell/Harper/Carter for example.

May stay in conference at Illinois or Wisconsin. Seems like a Michigan kind of player too. Grad transfer so no problem staying in conference.
Made 58 appearances with the Rutgers University men’s basketball program over two seasons … Averaged 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game for his career at Rutgers … Saw time in 31 games as a sophomore in 2016-17, starting 11 of them, and averaged 3.0 points and 2.4 rebounds per game … Played in 27 games as a freshman in 2015-16, starting 12 contests, including last 10 games of the season ... Averaged 8.1 points and 5.1 rebounds with 23 assists and 13 steals during his rookie year. https://umassathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10526
Laurent’s resume will look good at the Florida office of Seven Santini Brothers when his college career is over.
Thorir Thorbjarnarson Is the only scholarship player that is not transferring from NU or graduated. Haha. Talk about roster turnover. 4 scholarships to give out for this season yet.
Right now they are pretty excited for what is coming in. Hoiberg was big into transfers and juco kids when he was at ISU, mainly because he hates dealing with the AAU slime, so he has a good grasp on what he wants for his style of play. They have already signed the top 2 juco guards and 2 3 point shooters with length that are immediately eligible. Hoiberg likes to go fast and have guys that can shoot from anywhere. He isn’t big on guys who play with their back to the basket but still be beefy enough to bang underneath. A lot of the players will be 6’6”- 6’8” that are long and can run. With 4 scholarships yet to fill(5 when Roby stays in the draft) it’s still interesting how he fills the roster. They have had lots visitors that are all carbon copies size and skill wise. Ha
I know the season ticket waiting list doubled in 3 days after he was hired so peoples expectations are pretty high.
Their fans seem happy with the turnover and alternately have faith in Hoiberg to coach them up immediately or predict he is more worried about 2 seasons from now.
It would be huge to get them in one of the pre-christmas B1G games when most of their roster hardly knows each other
Is Under Armour affiliated with Compass Prep? Wonder if possible Sean Miller repercussions have something to do with the kid not going to Arizona?
Wouldn't surprise me. Iowa State went 3-13 in the Big 12 in Hoiberg's first year, then after that they went 11-7 or 12-6 in all of his other years.
Bottom half of the league gonna be weird next year. I think our continuity will be a huge positive but we'll see...
That makes sense. Lower level and not too far from where he grew up. He could do well at GW.
Updated the OP with all recent commitments. At this point it doesn't seem like our last scholarship will go to a transfer, but if it does my list would look like this... This list doesn't include guys like the Hausers or David Jenkins who are down to a final few schools but DOES include guys that we probably have no shot at like Jordan Brown. I still think a sit-out transfer would suit the roster makeup well.
