HoosierPal Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 16 minutes ago, Pistol said: @ACE - Do you know anything about T.J. Holyfield (Stephen F. Austin, 6-8, 230) or Deng Geu (NDSU, 6-8, 215)? Both seem intriguing. Holyfield might head to Illinois to be reunited with Underwood but I'm also seeing Miami and St. John's mentioned. Can't find anything on possible destinations for Geu. Geu was a backup at NDSU. He averaged 9.6 ppg for the year, but faded to 4.5 ppg in the final 11 games. He apparently had only two offers out of HS, NDSU and SDSU. He can't go interconference without sitting a year without an appeal, even as a GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGB91 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Tim Finke is leaving Grand Canyon after one year. Weren't we interested in him at one time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one of the strangest recruitments of everyone we were tracking that year. Came down to a final five of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Illinois, and Vanderbilt, and then his stock kept dropping and all five appeared to have moved on from him. His brother was at Illinois and took a grad transfer year at GCU, so maybe the plan all along was to play one year with him and then try to transfer up a level. I'm not sure his numbers this season justify it but I'm interested to see where he lands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schasz Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 See where 6'9" Nick Sestina is visiting KY. They lose their grad transfer so that seems like a marriage. Hope that CTF finds us a good grad big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compton Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Not a grad-transfer, but Trace Young is leaving Wyoming after his Freshman year. Is from about 40 miles east of Madisonville, KY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabell and Wiley committed in late May/early June. Others like Pipkins and the WVU kid who signed with MO State can happen very quickly. Also, there are some reports of grad transfer recruiting and what schools players are interested in, but it is a bit more spotty than high school recruiting. For example, there were reports of Nat Dixon having a SLU offer and even reports of Justin Coleman visiting SLU before signing with Arizona; Isabell had a list of finalists reported including Xavier and a few others, but some of these commitments like Wiley just pop up without any previous reporting of interest. If the past is any indication, I would expect to see another spike in transfers/grad transfers in the few weeks following the NCAA championship game.

Pistol Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We also still have a few hundred transfers that haven't yet announced. The portal will hit 500 today and it was about 800 last year. The timing is tough for coaches. Do you go all-in on a couple guys now or do you wait to see the whole pool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Rayjon Tucker from Little Rock considered perhaps the top grad transfer at this point has scheduled a visit to WVU and has interest from a bunch of the big boys including UNC, Kansas and Texas Tech - which I imagine will be an attractive destination considering the success their grad transfers have had this year.

slu72 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 My take on GT bigs being pursued by P5's: they're going there because they think that's the road to an auto dance invite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Malik Ellison GTing from Pitt. Ford has at least seen him play and he’s familiar with SLU. 6’6 guard, not a big but Apparently a vocal leader and hardest worker on the team if the twitters are to be believed. Would be a nice fit.
