Swami's Predicted Inbound Transfers

[BIG]

because 200 other schools would get him in

Let’s go!!!

Not to belabor the Adam Miller point but why would they want to even go back to that well and risk issues with chemistry, etc.? Thanks for the insights, Just hope they address the issues they had this year. Brad needs to figure out a way to get past the first weekend and athletic/bigger guards are a big start.

They want Miller over a current player. I’m not going to divulge who that is.

The staff and Whitman have been working hard on the Admin to accept a player like Shannon. It’s a weird degree thing. They started this process a yr ago and TSJ is a good student so that should help.

Belo is a weird one. Ryan and I share a connection that swears he wants to be back but missed a team meeting. I think the staff wants some promises as far as his behavior and coachability but I’ll tell you this it’s tenuous.

Hawkins may depend on his GF and his relationship with BU. Those wanting Brazile over him are selling him short.

I spoke with Jake post Mizzou game and I think he’s done with College. Great kid though.

What’s the latest? Seems things have bogged down.

Does anyone really think Shannon, Jr can get the waiver and come here?

Absolutely can.

Yes. He’s waiting for some big things to happen IMO

Man Ryan you and Luke do such a great job! Just wanted to say thank you for all you do!

 

[UncleSilk]

Why is a waiver necessary?
Admissions stays on bs. Smdh

They don’t want to give someone an Illinois degree who got more than 50% of the credits at another school.

Correct. @UncleSilk

Any validity to these Melendez portal rumors?

 

[EdVedd]

Williams to Iowa State...man, losing good people to that school hurts...

Not a loss

Apparently he’s met with the staff and said he isn’t leaving

We don’t need another PG if we have Clark, Epps & Podz. Save the scholly for another big

 

[EdVedd]

Not a loss? You do see what we need and are looking for in guards, correct? It's a loss unless we felt someone else was going to commit that makes him expendable.

He wanted 25 minutes per game. We wanted him as a veteran back up.

 

[EdVedd]

We have freshmen guards coming in and one guard who played sparingly. I'm sure we could have found close to that time here if we want to compete. It's still a loss.
