I've posted in some of the other threads about kids that may become available via the grad transfer route and others have, as well. Some of us have found a number of 4th year juniors that should have graduate eligibility and the ability to transfer without sitting out. I thought it would be helpful to put this list all together in one thread and update it as we go along, with those that may be available. I'll update as guys declare their intentions or transfer elsewhere. If anybody finds other possibilities or hears about what these guys plan to do, please include them and I'll add them to this list.

Just to be clear, I'm not indicating or inferring that any of these guys are actually leaving their current school or would be interested in SU. Just compiling a list here since we'll need some help this spring/summer...


Marcus Keene, G Central Michigan - NCAA leading scorer, Declared for the NBA draft (not sure if he signed w/an agent)
Matt Mobley, G St. Bonaventure - 6'3", 18.5ppg, 38% from 3, 86% from FT.
Egor Koulechev, SG/SF Rice - 6'5", 47% from 3, averaged 17.5ppg/8rpg the past 2 seasons. Gets to the FT line a lot (84%)
Randy Onwuasor, G Southern Utah - 23ppg, not a great shooter though
Jonathan Stark, PG Murray St - 21ppg, Tulane xfer, 40% from 3, only listed at 6'
Rob Gray Jr., PG, Houston - 6'2" PG, from NC, 20pp, 39% from 3, 82% FT, great #'s against better opponents
Jairus Lyles, G UMBC - 6'2", 20ppg, 23ppg last yr, started at VCU, 33% from 3
Elijah Brown, G New Mexico - Butler transfer, 6'4" guard, solid 3pt shooter, great FT shooter
Torian Graham, G Arizona St - former top 100 player, followed Hurley from UB, 6'5" G, Carolina kid, 40% 3, 18ppg, turns 24 next week and is probably either staying at ASU or going pro.
Phillip Carr, PF Morgan St - not sure about his status, played at Mohawk Valley CC, 6'8" Brooklyn kid, good 3 pt shooter in low volume, great FT and good rebounder
Brandon Goodwin, G FGCU - 18ppg, 36% from 3. 6'2". Had 28pt against FSU in the tourney.
Jahmel Taylor, G Fresno State - 6'0", but very good 3 pt shooter. Only 10ppg
EC Matthews, G Rhode Island - 6'5" Detroit kid, came back from bad knee injury this year. 15ppg scorer. Might want to give ACC play a go of it.
AJ Lapray, G Pepperdine - Thought to have a career ending hip injury, but is apparently cleared. Did nothing at Pepperdine, though.
Demetrius Denzel-Dyson, G Samford - UMass transfer, 16ppg, 47% from 3, 6'5"
Alex Thompson, F Samford - 6'8" kid, 41% from 3. Auburn transfer.
Manu Lecomte, PG Baylor (transfer from Miami) - PG, only 5'11", career 43% from 3.
Semi Ojeleye, PF SMU (DUKE transfer) - 6'7" PF that can score. Former top 30 recruit averaging 18 and 7. 41% from 3 and 77% from the FT line. AAC Player of the Year
Nigel Williams-Goss and Johnthan Williams, Gonzaga. Probably no chance of either happening.
Marcus Foster, G Creighton - Stud scoring guard. 6'3" kid that can do it all. Seems pretty unlikely he'd leave for a potential mess here.
Kyle Washington, PF Cincy (NC State transfer) - 6'9" PF, good rebounder
Cullen Neal, G Ole Miss - Already grad transferred once, but had two years to play. He's studying for a master's in Journalism at Ole Miss, so I think a Syracuse degree might be preferable. 6'5" 3 pt shooter.
Shannon Evans, PG Arizona State - Extremely quick, good shooter and plays PG. Very slight, though.
Reggie Lynch, C Minnesota - 6'10" big bodied center. Averages over 3 blocks per game. Not a big scorer. B1G defensive player of the year
Andrew Rowsey, G Marquette - Big time 3 pt shooter but tiny.
Jaren Sina, PG GW (Seton Hall transfer) - NJ kid that plays PG. Decent player, but I'd hope we could land more scoring.
Geno Thorpe, G South Florida - From PA. Got left behind at the airport recently so probably wants out of this mess of a program. Good 3 pt shooter, not a good 2 pt shooter. 6'4". Already declared his intention to grad transfer
Austin Luke, PG Belmont - 2nd in the country in assists. 6'3", career 36% from 3 but only 33% this year. Not much of a scorer.
Frank Bartley G, La-Lafeyette - Transfer from BYU. 15ppg, 36% from 3.
Jaaron Simmons PG, Ohio - 7th in the country in assists, but also 4 turnovers per game. 16ppg, 36% from 3. 6'1". Houston transfer.
Bryson Scott, G IPFW - Purdue transfer, 16.5ppg, 5 rebounds per. 6'1"
Brenton Scott, G Indiana State - 16ppg, 36% from 3.
Josh Braun, G Grand Canyon - 17.5ppg, 41% from 3. 6'4"
Marcus Jackson, G Rice - Teammate of board favorite Egor. 6'3", 12ppg, 37% from 3.
Devon Hall, G Virginia - Not happening within the conference
Xavier Rathan-Mayes, G Florida State - Same as Hall, not happening.
Markel Crawford, G Memphis - 6'4", not a great 3 pt shooter, 13ppg
Cameron Reynolds, G Tulane - 6'7" guard, 17ppg, 39% from 3, 80% FT. Might be a good option to replace AW3.
AJ Davis, F Central Florida - 6'9" string bean, transfer from Tennessee, 12ppg. Thinks he is a 3pt shooter, but only 29%.
Antwoine Anderson, G Fordham - 6'1" kid from Rochester. 11ppg. 34% from 3.
Amar Stukes, G LaSalle - 6'2" PG, not much of a shooter or scorer
Donte Clark, G UMass - 6'4" 13ppg, poor 3pt shooter. UMass coaching change
Zach Lewis, G UMass - 6'3", 9ppg, poor 3pt shooter, UMass coaching change.
Josh Newkirk, PG Indiana - Pitt transfer, 6'1". 9ppg 38% from 3. Indiana coaching change.
Kam Williams, G Ohio State - 6'2", good shooter. Hasn't put up big #'s though.
Jeffrey Carroll, G Oklahoma State - 6'6", 17ppg scorer, very athletic. Not happening. Probably go pro.
Mikyle McIntosh, PF Illinois State - Injuries limited him this year. 11ppg, can shoot 3's.
Alan Herndon, PF Wyoming - 6'9" 11ppg, 39% from 3.
George King, G Colorado - 6'6" from NC originally. Great 3 pt shooter, 40+%
Rodney Elliot, G UMBC - Up and down career with injuries, 39% from 3, 6'1"
Jahad Thomas, G Mass-Lowell - More of an undersized forward, 18ppg, 9rpg, not an outside player, only 6'2"
Ryan Kemrite, G Liberty - 6'4", 13ppg 44% from 3
Kendall Smith, G Cal State Northridge - Former top 100 recruit, UNLV transfer, 6'3" 17ppg, 38% from 3
Joe Chealey, G Charleston - 6'3" 18ppg, 39% from 3.
Kassius Robertson, G Canisius - 6'3" Canadian kid. 17ppg, over 40% from 3 the past 2 years.

Jaylen Shaw, G Coastal Carolina - South Carolina transfer, 6'1" 14ppg, 40% from 3




Shoutout to iommi, Oráiste, Louie and Bouie, among others for finding some of these guys...
 
After looking at these guys, I think the best fits for scheme and need, while being realistic, are:

Egor
Mobley
Gray Jr
E. Brown
Denzel-Dyson
Thorpe
Bryson Scott
Jackson
Reynolds
King
K. Smith
Chealey
Robertson
 
Shannon Evans may be small but he's Dion Waiters 2.0, kid was great in the tournament for UB and all season. Great.

Now on Arizona St, but followed Hurley from UB.
 
Rathen-Mayes still has eligibility? Seems like he's been there forever.
Nice job on the list. Thanks.
 
Semi Ojeleye, PF SMU

Love this kid's game and he'd be a great fit for Boeheim, but I'm assuming he'd declare before transferring.
 
Stop what, with battle Lydon and Thompson back we ll be a top 15 team there wallace

Having all three of those guys back will be huge. Don't think both Lydon and battle will be back though, but even if they all did...who's playing point? Battle out of need? Then whose playing 2? TT learn how to play defense yet? I agree lots of potential, but top 15 good...heck no! Tournament worthy, yeah I think so.

Still two new players from that. Need a grad sf who can produce in the ACC... hard to find. And we REALLY need a pg. Waters would fit that but hard to say how likely that is right now. If any of these grad pgs could do it is iffy. Gillon was about as good as you'll normally get on that market and he was hit and miss. REALLY hoping for Waters.
 
Should have been in tournament this year and if we had a pg this year we would have been real good Gillon was good about 3 games and bad the rest

Lewis and Clark from UMass should clearly transfer to LaSalle.
 
I agree. Stop what? I think a team that has Lydon, Thompson, Battle, Egor and Eric would be very, very good.
I thought a team with Lydon, Thompson, Roberson, White and Battle would very, very good. They weren't. I learned my lesson.
