Updated transfer list

Does anyone know if there are more guys transferring now days then in years, decades past? Transfers use to be a big deal as I remember correctly. Someone has to have those stats handy around here!:roll:
 
Transfers are definitely up, especialy the last few years. Kids today expect to play immediately, and are unhappy if they don't. In the past, kids understood that it might take a couple years to get significant playing time. Also, there are more coaching changes which leads to more transfers.
 
I'm sure there are other factors, but the repeal of the 5/8 rule (2007?) is probably the biggest. That rule change allows a school like Indiana or Kentucky to bring in as many kids as they can in one year. It was done to allow programs rebuild more quickly.

When the rule was in place it helped contribute to the mid-major breakout year in 2006 because it limited the number of scholarships available at higher levels, and so better talent filtered down to the MVC-CAA-Butler level.

I want to say the next year the rule was lifted.
 
I would still love to have Marshall Henderson. A couple things concern me reading up about him though. First he said he wants to be closer to home. Second even before he transfered a bunch of people complain about his attitude. He was suspended for punching an opponent. When he left he said he thought the system at Utah kept him from showing his game. (Team player?) I still think I would love to have him, but he may have some flaws.
 
I wouldn't say he "punched" the opponent like all out. But sometimes a guy with fire that won't back down is good. You wouldn't want a whole team of them, but one or two guys is good to have sometimes.
 
Big rumor is emerging over on a few other message boards that UNC's Tyler Zeller will be leaving North Carolina and transfer to Indiana...and maybe his younger brother will become a Hoosier as well........interesting.....hafta wait & see......

I heard that same rumor from a friend who's kid goes to NC a few weeks ago. I thought since nothing had happened, it was just that, a rumor.
 
maybe a little interest...but he's been injured a lot and has never shown much...and of course couldn't play until 2011...
now Dunigan is a different story.....
 
He got some looks by Bradley when he was playing at Hales Franciscan HS in Chicago. But I have no idea if he would be interested in Bradley. I suspect JL might be interested in him. We'd probably prefer a transfer with 3 years to play, rather than 2, but I do expect BU to get a transfer if there is an unused scholarship.8)

Sounds like something maybe be close to happening.....

Coach, am I on the right track? Let us know the timeline on when details will be available....
 
All I know is that there are a ton of transfers out there looking for a new school. Bradley will have several of their big minute guys leaving after next year, which could open up playing time for similar players.
 
I think a transfer guard who can shoot is the best option if we don't get JW. Getting Ben Mills for the third scholie wouldn't be bad either at 7'1.

This is assuming we get a down low post type big with the second scholie. Any news if we will be getting a commitment from anyone any time soon?
 
Every year the Valley has a few well recognized name transfers...

a couple years ago it was Oguchi, last year we heard a ton about Jake Kelly & Tony Freeman...and so far this year we have heard some hype about Greg Echenique..

but I can't find much on Diamond Taylor at SIU...
The most recent mention of his name on the SIU message board was just a simple list two weeks ago in a post about who is on the roster.
Then I found only one or two mentions of him all summer on their boards..

Anyone know how he looks and why there's nobody talking about Taylor? He ought to be getting some hype!
