I'd be interested to see how other schools in similar situations (adding four transfers + two freshmen) have fared recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorydays2013 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 6'9 255 C Sean Obi from DUKE is graduating and transferring. Can't find any High School rankings since he is from Nigeria but Duke Speaks for itself. But for da love and Billiken05 think he probably isn't good enough for the A10. Not many stats at Duke but huge potential and killed it at Rice which got him a Duke offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusam Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Sean Obi had a great freshman year at Rice. Transferred to Duke and barely played. I think he was hurt this year. As I have mentioned before he would be a good pick up for SLU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that it doesn't make sense to list arbitrary high school rankings when we have nearly an entire college career of statistics to look at. For the record, I would be interested in Obi.

Billboy1 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 A lot of the chemistry should already be in place as they have practiced together for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 The biggest need is a 5 to provide some insurance for Foreman... he is coming off an injury and if he gets in foul trouble, it would be nice to have another big body to hold down the fort. French, Wellmer and Johnson are all more like 4s. Several grad transfers including Kanter from Green Bay are floating around, but those guys will be in demand. The big prep school kid could also fill that role. With the other scholarship, I would work the transfer market. Gillman coming back? That would be a bit of surprise.

All you're doing is pointing out random graduate transfers on the market. You don't even know that's what's Ford is looking for. You're not providing info just meaningless content.

Glorydays2013 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Lol the famous walk on who got a scholarship from Michigan in the Viral video is transferring. ESPN 1* recruit.
