Transfer Targets :: 2019

Matt Ryan?

Kavas, Yeboah, Milon are now off the board. Not many grad transfers currently out there that would fit our system, which to me tells me the staff feels pretty confident in what they have going into next season...

I hope that includes Martin.

I would like for Martin to stay, but every time I think about it, I conclude he is leaving to play in Europe. How can he pass on a 2-3 year contract he will likely be offered, paying hundreds of thousands per year. He would only get incrementally better next year, still not enough to make him an NBA prospect, especially at his age. He then loses a year of Europe ball and pay, and risk the potential of injury. If I am his advisor/agent, I would have to advise to strike when the iron is hot and sign a contract when he can.

I believe those are one and the same. I would state it this way: It suggests that the staff is comfortable with what they have and/or may have versus what they would have with the addition of any of those 3.

Matt Ryan?

Overrated QB.

western kentucky transfer Dalano Banton visited Nebraska over the weekend, and a visit to Creighton could be in his future...

Committed to Nebraska today.

What? I don't understand this conclusion. So there aren't many grad transfers that fit into our system, that's reasonable. But how do you know that the coaches are confident in what we have next season if they aren't satisfied with what's out there and aren't going to go out and get one now? All that's saying there is that they don't think what's left would have any utility for us, not that there's no need.
Shouldn't the fact that they were looking at grad transfers in the first place tell us that they weren't 100% confident in what we have now?

Side note: as a coach, I don't see how you can be satisfied when you finished 109th in DReb%, you're slated to be playing 6'4-6'6 guys at the 4 (again) unless you get Enaruna, your best defensive rebounder might turn pro, and your potential starter at center is coming off of injury.

I assume that was TIC......but, this dude;
Grad Transfer - Matt Ryan, 6-8, 209 pounds, SF, RS Jr., Vanderbilt
A shooter with size, Ryan saw his 3-point percentage drop to 32.8 percent this past season. Still averaged 8.1 points.

Last I heard, Stackhouse trying to keep him at Vandy

thought being the coaches know what Martin is doing or how he is leaning. If they were concerned about our PF depth, that a) martin was surely gone, or b) TE was surely heading to KU, then they'd be more aggressive in looking at a guys like Kavas, or Yeboah or Matt Ryan or the Drexel transfer. Right? The logic there makes sense that if in 19/20 we have only Bishop and Epperson taller than 6-7 on the roster, maybe we'd go after more front court depth with the 3 spot we had open. And sure maybe they don't want to scare off TE by grabbing another frontcourt grad transfer. but wouldn't you assume the staff would have been more active with one's still out there?


also they've never been directly linked to a frontcourt grad transfer this offseason. I'd heard they were looking at Kavas and Yeboah but nothing was ever solid. Pierece they made an inquiry along with the rest of America.

a) either they dont think having CB and JE as the only players > 6-7 is an issue
b) they did not assess that they only have two players > 6-7 on the roster
c) they are sure they are getting TE
d) they are sure that Tini is coming back
