2019 transfers

The 2019 transfer list is now over 400 players, and is growing fast. It looks like it could reach record numbers of transfers. Many more names will be added when the spring signing period and recruiting season ends, and then more are announced around the end of the school year.
http://verbalcommits.com/transfers/2019?division=D1

10-15 years ago, the number of transfers were around 200-300 per year, but in 2015 it has surpassed 700, And last Year (2018 ) surpassed 800.

ISU's Isaac Gassman is transferring - but he already burned his redshirt year back in 2016-17 -
he's actually a pretty good 3-pt shooter, hitting 40% in his career so far (42-106) but was always a bit of a defensive liability against DI opponents
so he might go DII - but he's been at ISU long enough (3 years plus summers) that he might be able to go as a grad-transfer and help some other DI with his shooting.

I am surprised nobody has asked out at SIU given the coaching change - especially since one of their players is the son of a Barry Hinson assistant who may not be retained.

UNI's Tray Croft is also transferring - he was a really prolific scorer in high school & junior college. His choices are kind of limited now since he already sat out a year and will have to do so again if he goes DI, and if he doesn't have the grades, then some DII's won't even want to deal with that.

Another kid who was a prolific scorer in junior college just announced he's transferring - Ty Lazenby - but he just never found any playing time in Oklahoma's deep lineup
https://www.bradleyfans.com/forum/sp...261#post449261

Indiana also has a big kid transferring - 6-10 Clifton Moore, who was Top 150 in high school, averaged 20 ppg/10 rpg, was recruited by Tom Crean before Crean got fired - but never fit Indiana's offense... He could be a solid midmajor player...
Reportedly both he & Lazenby are A-students.
 
Players like Moore and Williams always make me hesitant. Were they as talented as evaluators thought and just misused? Bad fits for the system? Clashed with their teammates and coaches? Were they secretly hurt in a way that inhibited them but completely capable of bouncing back to their expected levels? Or were the evaluators bad at their jobs and these guys just aren’t quite that good? If the staff wants to take one of those two I’d have to assume they know what they’re doing. But that voice in the back of my head would keep saying “maybe they aren’t that good. Remember Mike Shaw? He was a formerly highly rated prospect that transferred after putting up poor numbers. And he was just okay for us.”
 
Here's an interesting transfer--
Charlie Moore - Kansas guard originally from Chicago (Morgan Park)
Obviously looking for more playing time and keeps getting recruited over at Kansas and loses playing time to bigger talented guys.

Charlie Moore started at Cal and was one of their top players as a freshman. He started 34 of 34 games there in 2016-17 and averaged 12.2 ppg. But then the coach that recruited him, Cuonzo Martin left to take the Missouri job, and Moore decided to transfer He wanted more certainty of getting national exposure and playing in the NCAA Tournament, so he transferred to Kansas. He sat out last season, and played this season. But he only played 13 minutes per game this past season, and was 10th on the team with his 2.9 ppg average. He shot only 28.6% overall and 26.7% on threes. In Kansas' two NCAA Tournament games, he only had a total of 2 points. He has played 2 seasons (one at Cal and one at Kansas), but he will lose a year of eligibility by transferring again (unless he gets a waiver from the NCAA) because he already burned a redshirt year with his first transfer.

He is from Chicago (Morgan Park HS) and played for Mac Irvin Fire. He's a pretty good player, but needs to find the right school this time. I'd guess that he might transfer to a school like UIC or another Chicago school, where he will play a lot more, and maybe have a better chance at getting a waiver and be eligible right away and not have to sit out another year.

He should never have gone to KU. He left after Cuonzo left town, but should have gone to a school that would highlight him or stayed. KU is a blue blood who will always pull 5 stars.

Pretty sure those rankings are how that site had these players ranked coming out of high school. For instance, if you look for Lamont West, he doesn’t have any rating number and is fairly far down the list despite scoring well in one of the toughest conferences and shooting a good percentage from three. He’s also listed as a small forward despite playing more as a power forward.

for instance, this guy is listed higher than West despite scoring 3.6 and rebounding 3.7 for st bonaventure in just 19 games last year

Charlie Moore headed to DePaul
 
I notice that Valparaiso is linked to just about every available transfer out there...gotta wonder
if it's because they plan to replace McMillan & Bradford, too...
 
Here is a pretty good list of the top 100 transfers. I am not sure the lists of schools each transfer is leaning toward are accurate. The only one in this list that is linked to Bradley is #42 Evan Gilyard formerly of UTEP. There are a few others, too.
https://watchstadium.com/news/rankin...on-04-22-2019/

We were the first to post Bradley's interest in Evan Gilyard way back in July, 2015 when he was at Chicago Simeon HS-

And we posted again about him last month when he left UTEP and planned to transfer-

SIU is hosting a visit today from Northwestern transfer Barret Benson.
He's a 6-10 grad transfer with one year to play but has played very little in 3 seasons at Northwestern.
He gets 10 min per game and even started 5 games, averages about 2 ppg & 3 rpg but hits only 40% and only 56% on FTs
He has 194 career points in three seasons - considerably less than Callum Barker, Jayden Hodgson or even Jojo McGlaston scored at Bradley.
I checked the Northwestern fans' reactions on their message board - they are quite concerned with all the players transferring out...
but they are not being replaced with Big Ten caliber kids...
Right now, the only scholarship guys they have coming back are Greer, Kopp, Gaines, Young, Turner & Nance- all of whom COMBINE
to average only a little over 10 ppg! NW Fans are a little miffed that the school re-upped Chris Collins all the way thru 2025 and there's nothing positive on the horizon..(they finished in last place this year at 4-16 and are looking at a total re-build for next year)
Even the one year they got all the press for making the NCAA (2017) - they still finished just ahead of 9th place Illinois.
 
Former Valparaiso center Derrick Smits is transferring to Butler. He will be a grad-transfer, and will be eligible next fall at Butler.
