Class of 2015 5th year transfer candidates

[Francis03]

If we miss out on TB then this guy might be worth a look. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/56783/mike-thorne-jr
He just got his release from Charlotte today and is immediately eligible for next season.

Kansas' Bill Self is visiting graduate transfer Mike Thorne in Charlotte today, per a source. Pittsburgh's Jamie Dixon will be in tomorrow.

Surprising since real programs cant use 5th year guys because they're never really talented.

Rumor is James Robinson from Pitt isn't happy and he is already on track to graduate this Summer

Well I wouldn't be happy either if I wasted three years playing for Jamie Dixon and Pittsburgh.

JB hasn't been a proponent of the 5th year senior transfer rule. He's pointed out that he thinks it's been misused and abused from its' original intention for grad school academics. He's proposed that the rule be kept but the NCAA should require 5th year seniors to sit a year just like any transfer. As a result I doubt a 5th year senior is his ideal choice.

I have heard some great stories about Jamie Dixon but I will have to hold off a few years before telling those lol

Uconn has all but guaranteed a starting job to Shonn Miller. We all know they aren't a real program anymore though.

This would be interesting. I've always liked his game - 6-3 point guard from Dematha HS, same high school J. Grant went to. He's been decent at Pitt. 5.1 APG this year compared to 1.6 TPG, and that's with not that many great scoring options at Pitt this year. I'd be intrigued.

No transfers within the league.

No transfers within the league.

The coach would have to allow it then correct? Or did the Duke and Mike thing happen because we weren't in the ACC yet? I am not sure about the rule and was curious thanks.

You might already realize this but at one point (2010) Dematha was running out Grant, Robinson, Mikael Hopkins, BeeJay Anya. The year prior they had Quinn Cook (before he left for Oak Hill) and Victor Oladipo. Talk about a pipeline of talent

Did they have Jerian Grant as well?

Silent G transferred before we went to the ACC.

Your correct he graduated the same year as Victor

That is alot of talent. And they are very well developed players with high basketball IQ's.

Not that we'd really have a need for him, but...

Sure would be nice to have another 6'6" SG/SF with experience and this one can shoot FTs.

Yeah, now that McCullough is thinking about going pro, more depth in general seems nice. Obviously a 6-6 wing player is not a 6-10 forward, but still. He averaged more than 6 RPG, so it's not like he CAN'T board a little.

If we whiff on Bryant and/or if McCullough leaves, no reason not to go after him.

We're totally not gonna go after him.

 

['CuseHoops]

Thoughts on Dylan Ennis? He left Nova today

He gone
Always liked his game. Different player than Tyler the Creator, but he's improved over the years.

 

[Francis03]

I'll take him.

 

[orangefog]

I'll take him.

Hell yeah, an experienced guard that can usually shoot fairly well and it is no more than a one year commitment? It's a no brainer.

 

[CuseHulk]

Don't know why with or without Bryant we don't go after or look into a last year transfer candidate
