Box and Won Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just now, Quality Is Job 1 said: Thanks, Box. So it's not necessarily a requirement that the degree program not be offered at the new school. I guess not. It just sounds like that's a condition for immediate graduate transfer eligibility.

ACE Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Here is the grad transfer from Maine I mentioned earlier. https://bangordailynews.com/2018/03/06/sports/umaine-sports/calixte-to-leave-umaine-mens-basketball-program/ I hope we're at least exploring interest. Seems like the kind of player who would thrive in the A10. Sell him on the opportunity to slot right into a key role on an NCAA caliber team. I'm sure there will be a lot of competition for him, but who knows, maybe Macon or Bailey have crossed paths with him previously since he is an East Coast kid.

Thank you Ace for the information, he would be a great fit and with coach Ford and crew being good salesmen on why he should come to SLU to play in the big dance can probably get it done.

Pistol Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 "with a D1 program" is the disclaimer in @RiseAndGrind's post.

Pretty sure Maine is the only D1 school in the state. The other "big" schools are Bowdoin, Colby, Bates, and Maine Maritime. Pretty sure they're all in the NAIA. The Black Bears used to be really good back in the early 60's and competed for Yankee Conf Titles w/ UMass, UConn, RI, NH and VT. I'm not sure if the old Yankee Conf even got an invite to the NCAA when it was limited to 16 schools. However, the Black Bears usually have really good hockey teams and think they may have won an NCAA title not too long ago. Let's go easy on the Black Bears.

Those are all D-III (Bates, Colby, and Bowdoin are in the NESCAC and form the super competitive CBB Consortium). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
