Don't see this anywhere else...

Not perfectly ideal for next season. But this should help PG depth for the two years he'll be eligible.


Edit: looking at his profile, I'm guessing he's coming here as a walk on?

This can't be true...

Connected on a three at Manhattan (12/8)... Added four points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal against Binghamton (12/14)... Notched two points, a rebound and assist at Canisius (1/12)... Tallied three points and a rebound vs. Niagara (2/28).

Possibly as a walk-on. He has played two years at Monmouth and has started three games, all coming during his freshman years. His soph year saw him get p.t. in only 16 games. Kid is from Rochester.

Walk on makes sense...

Matt Tomaszewski was a walk-on transfer as well, from the U. of Tampa. Slight difference here is that Monmouth is a D1 program.

Well here's hoping he hits a meaningless three sometime to get us all tacos.

I assume there are non playing reasons for transfers like this (I.e that they want to get into coaching and take advantage of jb connections). Otherwise why transfer to where u won't play?

If you can't crack the lineup at Monmouth, the dream is pretty much over. Might as well improve the quality of the diploma (and make some connections, as you said.)

That is a perplexing transfer. I remember him in high school, a low D1 recruit. Their top kid his senior year went to Canisius or Niagara I think. As people have said, he sounds like a preferred walk on and at best in a pinch he could play some minutes at pg. Too bad he can't be insurance this year.

I had a friend who played at monmouth, he is barely 5'10

My cousin's son is currently on scholly for bball at Monmouth. Hoping he gets PT this year with their sr/jr backcourt finally moving on. Red shirt soph 6'7" long ball wing.

Sounds like a walk on at Monmouth also! It must be a really slow day for news.

Let's hope he is bringing a 4.0 gpa.

I played with him before he transferred to Aquinas. He'll bring a very good GPA. I'd be surprised if he ever plays more than just at the end of games though. Pretty cool though regardless. Will definitely be rooting for him.

Now, we have the reason.

 

[ebucklewis]

He gone.

 

[SBU72]

If he is a walk-on then what does he sign as in "Proud to officially announce I have signed and will continue to play basketball at Syracuse University!! " A walk on only has to be attending school. What papers does he sign?

 

[SWFLCUSE]

Our walk-on game is looking good this year, add in the possibility of Jamal Custis walking on after the football season and we will have some decent players to work with in practice.

 

[Rocco]

Would love to hear Bjorn's take...

Bjorn is waiting down at the YMCA for any newcomers that want to be taught a thing or two about basketball.

That web site made me smile.

I still remember him when he was in HS (I think playing in Syracuse at the Empire Games), wearing a big piece of metal on a chain around his neck that spelled out the word King, with a diamond earring in each ear, strutting around like he owned the planet. He was the definition of a spoiled, uber entitled kid back then.

Good to see that he has grown up some since then.

What's wrong with that? I have a big gold chain that I wear around my neck at work that spells out the word Boss Man. Even though no one works for me, I figure I might fool someone some day.
