Clock_Tower Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 15 minutes ago, Pistol said: Help me out - why are people talking about Stockard? Just a rumor? K-State has 4 outgoing transfers and 3 graduating players. There's a big coming in from UTEP but he has to sit a year. I don't think the incoming bigs - Lewis and Bradford - are already better than Stockard. Seems like it would be foolish of Stockard to transfer at this point. He finally has a chance to get some big minutes there. He'd also be sitting a year to play one. Doesn't seem worth it. Because Stockard is from Vashon and some are pushing that we land as many as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all would. At the same time, not as far fetched as one might think in that Ford has landed some good transfers (who must sit out a year) by getting us Bess and Foreman guys who we think would have been good - Graves, Santos and Henriquez. Back then, Ford had playing time to offer. This time, Ford has playing time to offer with the graduation of French, Goodwin and Perkins. If not, then a Grad Transfer big. If not, and if Diarra can earn minutes, then pocket the schollie. If not, and if Diarra cannot earn minutes according to Ford, then get what we can find.

I think moreso it is because our local Vashon insider speculated earlier in the year that this might be a possibility. Agreed with those who think it is looking increasingly unlikely, which is probably fine for all parties. Best of luck to Mr. Stockard in his senior year at KSU.

NH Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Rhode Island picked up three transfers today: the Mitchell twins from Maryland and Malik Martin from Charlotte. Good work by Cox in quickly restocking the cabinet. Things looked very bleak for a minute there and while there is no guarantee Rhody will be competitive, these transfers at least give them a chance.

If not, Mitchell twins sit out first semester and Martin sits out all year (barring the grant of any waiver). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hard to tell how good he is. Played sparingly in the no conference and put up some bad numbers. Got a lot more minutes in conference and had some spectacular lines. He had 24 boards in a game just like French. He's a stiff offensively at the A10 level but I bet his defense could translate to high major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm indifferent based on current production but at worst he's a serviceable backup. Maybe after a year in the weight room he could blossom into something more.

Compton Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 ^Interesting. The timing would certainly line up well with his two years coming after French graduates if he sits. But would Third Team All-MEAC (albeit as a sophomore) cut it for SLU? Also, sounding very shortsighted here, but safe to say Javon Bess is the all time best Bills transfer? And Termaine Isabell is the all time best Bills grad transfer? BuiltFordBills likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimble Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I think the only issue with BMB would be that he would end up being the same class and JB and MD. Do we want 3 centers in the same class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a big who can do this two things to prepare for the departure of HF is our biggest need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a history with Ford, and he's just a 1 year guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
