Title: Arizona 2018-19 Possible Grad Transfers
Post by: mvpreed2 on March 29, 2018, 07:00:35 PM
As promised, I figured I would help WILDcatAZfan out and put ALL of our transfer recruits in one thread.
Now we can all update the list whenever someone else gets added or signs with another school, then I could update my initial list at the beginning of the thread.
Here is who we have offered so far in the process (alphabetical order):

G - Ehab Amin, Texas A&M Corpus Christi to Oregon
G - Dachon Burke, Robert Morris to Nebraska
F - Evan Boudreaux, Dartmouth to Purdue
G - Aaron Calixte, Maine to Oklahoma
G - Joseph Chatouny, Fordham to Marquette
G - Justin Coleman, Samford to Arizona
G - Joe Cremo, Albany to Villanova
G - Zach Johnson, Florida Gulf Coast to Miami
F - Ryan Luther, Pittsburg to Arizona
G - Matt Mooney, South Dakota to Texas Texh
C - Trey Porter, Old Dominion to Nevada
G - James Scott, Kennesaw State to Temple
G - Ryan Taylor, Evansville to Northwestern
G - MaCio Teague, UNC Asheville to Baylor
C - Novak Topalovic, Idaho State to Utah

Taylor was mentioned in another thread, but I am not sure if we have extended an offer yet.
Since he has been mentioned on the site, I would include him until something definite comes in about him.
Hopefully this would make things easier for everyone to try and keep things in one thread.
If this doesn't help, feel free to delete the thread WILDcatAZfan.

Awesome thread! Much easier to keep track of & we can add all new name transfers that come up here.
Yeah I figured that was better than having you create a new thread everytime we go after someone new.
Now all of your updates can go in here and we can find all of the info we need in here.

I've seen Arizona associated with Maine transfer Aaron Calixte. Doesn't seem too serious but it's another name

it is interesting that both Arizona and Oregon are interested in transfer guards.

So part of my plan backfired.
I thought I would be able to edit my original post to add/edit the prospects names, but I guess only the mods can do that.
I thought that was a feature we all had, but I guess not.
Nonetheless we have a single thread to keep the transfer news in.

Suggestion: can you put their current school next to the name?  Thanks!

I've never heard of Trey Porter, but he looks like a solid dude. 6'10, 230. I'm guessing he'd be similar to a larger version of Pinder, and I loved me some Pinder.

That's the funny thing, you don't know of over 90% of these grad transfers.
They attend these lower-level mid-majors, put in their 2-4 years, and dip out the first chance they get.
The crazy part is there are A LOT of elite schools that come in and snag some of these boys off the market, like Arizona.

I'm guessing here, but I'm expecting us to bring in at least three grad transfers.
We have seven open spots, only recruiting four HS prospects (as of now), so that's how the numbers game works, or Miller could sit on a scholarship or two or 2019, but right now I wouldn't bet on that.

Zack Johnson a grad transfer from Florida Gulf Coast will be visiting Arizona on 4/22(which is his last scheduled visit). He's a 6'2 SG that averaged 16 points, 3r, & 3as 2st a game. This guy can flat out ball & has entered his name into the draft, but has not hired an agent.

Cremo has Oregon & Gonzaga on his final 5 list and Arizona is now out. That says a lot as they surely wouldn't bring both him and Williams in. Could be after him just in case Williams doesn't commit. Hmm 🤔

I get the feeling a lot of these grad transfers want to go to school that has a HUGE need for their talents and allow them to get theirs a la Lyons & Arizona.
Plus, Miller is landing ball-handlers now (Doutrive/Thielemans) to go with our stable of guards already here, I can see why most of these guards aren't trying to come to Arizona.

Arizona is recruiting MaCio Teague the sharp shooting guard  who averaged 16 points a game last year.

So technically, Miller has officially replaced all of our early departures to the NBA.

Trier - Doutrive
Alkins - Theilemans
Ayton - Luther

Now let's see who he gets to replace our four seniors (G/F/F/C)..

If that is the case, our pursuit of grad-transfers are over.
Everyone is off the board for us until further notice..
