2020-21 Annual "Transfer" Guess-a-thon

[wichshock65]

I think we will be working out a trade with Lubbock, Texas.

I've seen no transfer information from D Gordon yet. Has anyone shown interest yet?

Also, Mo seems to have slowed down which possibly shows that the other teams rosters were filling up. Four of our transfers are either making a lateral or upward move. I hope that either Mo or Gordon have difficulties latching on to a decent program.

HUH!!!

I was wrong. It would be three. You could argue that Washington, Nevada, Texas Tech, are lower than WSU but I wouldn't. UMASS and Grand Canyon aren't at the AAC level imo.

Mo, it appears may be struggling, and D Gordon I've heard nothing.

As a comparison, and I'm sure you can find other indicators, but I chose the AP Poll for the last 10 years and how many weeks each team was ranked during that time period. the AP had a total of 194 weeks of voting/polling during the last 10 years.

Player	New School	Ranked last 10
Not Applicable	Wichita State	42%
Grant Sherfield	Nevada	32%
Jamarius Burton	Texas Tech	23%
Erik Stevenson	Washington	12%
Noah Fernandes	UMass	5%
Tate Busse	Metro State (Denver)	0%
Asbjørn Midtgaard	Grand Canyon (Arizona)	0%
DeAntoni Gordon	To be determined
Morris Udeze	To be determined

You might be able to make an argument that Texas Tech (recent success) is an upgrade move and perhaps Nevada, but that would be it.

Nevada, at best, is a WSU in a Valley like conference.

Washington finished LAST in a conference that is only questionably better than the AAC.

I'll give you Texas Tech due to recent history and always having a decent shot at Dancing due to the conference they're in.

If both Mo and the Texas Tech transfer were available, which would you give the scholarship to?

I love Tyson so sign me up for another Putnam Science Academy player. I am all in on the Texas Tech seven footer.

Gordon needs to go to a juco and get minutes and work on his game

Gonna need kenpom on this one.

The Texas Tech kid most likely will have to sit out a year, no? Regardless, from what I’ve read about him, he sounds like a traditional post up Big and I’m not certain that fits with the direction 3G is taking this next roster which seems to be loaded with a bunch of springy, athletic and active players which to me portends a more explosive and active offense. Additionally, it’s been reported that in the few minutes of playing time he received, he appeared lost on defense. That’s not going to cut it with Gregg.

Mo has his own faults that many have already pointed out here, but Shocker Bigs have rarely been world beaters in their first year or two. Those who have stuck around long enough always seem to improve each season, commiserate with their experience, and by their senior seasons tend to surprise their opponents from the more “highly regarded” programs come tournament time.

But the whole “grass is greener I’m entering the transfer portal” thing kinda rubs me the wrong way. So my answer might be neither and I’m hoping HCGM has something up his sleeve.

Tell me again what schools are on WSU’s level? You can make a case that Tech with Beard is, but in the last 5 years they just aren’t.

Yep, thinking he may need to take the Rod Brown path
