Class of 2019 SF Anthony Duruji / Transferring from La Tech to Florida

[Alsacs]

Really. First guy I looked at, Bryce Alford, talked about the pressure to live up to his scholarship.
From Wikipedia:
"Fans began questioning Alford's role compared to the crowd-favorite LaVine's, and he felt pressure to justify his scholarship.[16][17][18] Alford cited two games that helped boost his..."

This is exactly what I am talking about.
We don’t need Buddy to give up his scholarship unless we can bring in another recruit to help us win. JB gets his tuition free because of his employment.

Bryce Alford to drop scholarship to accommodate deep recruiting class

Again - Duruji. Take the discussions not related to him to the main board. Further unrelated posts will be nuked.

Thank you.

Give me this guy and a center please. Need some positive and uplifting news about now.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Any chance this guy could have a goofy reason to get an NCAA waiver on sitting out a year?

No room in the inn.

No room in the inn.

There's one way we could free up a scholarship...

Oops...2nd guy I checked was Doug McDermott. 3 years on scholarship, and only extraordinary circumstances took him of scholarship
Taking a Star’s Scholarship Is Creighton’s Secret

Don't be so free with other people's money, and assumptions about what other people did. I found this stuff in under 5 minutes.
Google. Very cool tool.

Sure. There are different reasons for doing this. But it's an option. And in some people's eyes, it might be a viable option.

You don't shae?

 

[721Comstock]

You don't shae?

Who’s your Buddy?
Who’s your pal?
I am, right?

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Coordinated, springy, motor-ish, pretty J. Sign him up.

When you strikeout on high school recruits, may as well go this route.

Wes Johnson, Mike Gbinije, it’s worked before

[two3zone]

Yuk...

 

[rrlbees]

Yuk...

Why yuk? Best team they played was LSU and he had 22 pts and 9 rebs with 3-4 from 3. Tells me there’s something there.

If Capel gets him, I’m gonna barf. I like this kid for us if we lose Oshae. He’s from DC, so hopefully he wants to be back on the East Coast.

 

[Melancer46]

One of the few available recruits/transfers that I'd be legitimately excited about

 

[Alsacs]

The more I read I want this kid here and then whatever Tate Martell and Justin Fields said to the NCAA we should make that argument and get this kid playing next year.

Fields: "I'm going to the Ohio State University. You don't mess with your marquee programs.

Martell: "I'm going to the U. You don't mess with your marquee programs."

 

[chugg21]

Need to hire that same Attorney that Shea Patterson and those guys all had. Seems to have a 100% success rate.

 

[JLine]

Looks like a great fit for the zone. JB probably was drooling watching his tape. Can envision him coming from the weak side to erase shots. His game does have some similarities to Wes’s. We’ve had some good luck with normal transfers. Sign me up.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Taking an official to Florida next week

I always get "worried" when rumored things like this don't connect quickly.

Not suggesting we're out, but the longer things tend to linger, the less likely it usually is that things work out favorably.

I think the key for a transfer to become immediately eligible is to not transfer to Syracuse.

 

[MSOrange]

I think the key for a transfer to become immediately eligible is to not transfer to Syracuse.

I'm not one to usually say we're getting screwed on stuff like that, but it is getting pretty irritating with some of immediately eligibility decisions that have come about on the football side. But I digress.

I really like Anthony. I think my preference is a grad transfer in the middle but if we go a traditional transfer route, I'd love this pickup.
