I don't think you understand how this thread works. We name all the grad transfers we like, and then the SLU coaching staff picks our favorite(s) to sign.

It isn't going to happen but he would fit in nicely. Johnson is a rebounding machine on both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 He would fit right in..... makes DJ look like a good free throw shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Now that Mullins is gone from St. John's, I wonder if Josh Roberts might transfer. Played sparingly this season as a freshman and is 6'9" 210 pounds. We offered him over the summer of 2017 and is from the Montverde CBD team.

ACE Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Isaiah Wade, grad transfer from Washington State. Solid rebounding numbers and fg percentage. Had some good games early in the season, including a double/double and then playing time went up again near the end after a mid-season lull, which apparently was injury related. Bad free throw shooter, so he'd fit right in. Was a good juco player out of Iowa Western, described as an athletic power forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Is this where these go ..................... Another Duke out in Dylan Swingle. Also Policelli at Dayton and Nick Honor at Fordham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Kimble from St. Joe's going to Louisville. They really go hard after the grad transfers and they have had some success with them. They recruited TI last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is any GT worth his salt is looking to land with a solid dance team. Especially if they've never been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I don't know how good he is, but a stretch-4 grad transfer would be nice. Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I take it we've heard nothing about visits. Either because we don't have any lined up, or they've put the clamps on the staff and team. But in Travis I trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that what we need (a decent big) - everyone is looking for the exact same thing. I've done searches on just about every grad transfer big. Some names don't have much info at all tied to them. Others have long lists of schools that have reached out, but I haven't been able to tie SLU to any of them yet. You're right, though. They can be patient and picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 As stated earlier probably the best selling point to a decent player is how likely is a team to be dancing next March. I think that's really important to the GT's. Sort of a final hurrah, if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree.. if RM were still the coach but not sure w Ford as our coach...and with French who whose skills dont allow him to play a wing and whose “smaller” size would cause matchup issues - especially with our stretch big on the per perimeter.

I think Ford had Welmer penciled in for that stretch 4 position had he been healthy. I don't think a 6'8"-6'9" guy who can stretch is a the novelty it once was. Most coaches realize it causes match up problems. And if you've got wings and guards that can rebound it compounds the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLURadioBoy Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I just heard Frank say on his show that he can’t name any names, but Travis is talking to a player that would be a huge addition to the roster and would fit in perfectly with this class.
