NCAA D-1 Men's Basketball Transfer List (so far)

Viney and DuBois are both going to be tough guys to replace for LMU. Viney was an underrated force for that squad, for lack of a better comparison it will be similar to us trying to find a replacement for Luke (Although Viney was a much more willing/effective scorer for much of his college career)

I see where St. Mary’s is bulking up. In addition to our friend Garrett Jackson being eligible next year, this year they’ve got 6’ 11” 225 Matt Hodgson (C), a transfer from Australia via Southern Utah eligible to play two more years.

For the upcoming intercollegiate competition year of 2012-2013, let's let him sit out like every other transfer save those who have graduated, and those who transfer from defunct programs.

Even the poor Utah signee Herilhy has to sit out a year. How does Jackson qualify for such treatment? If true, maybe God is a Gael . . .a highly highly unlikely circumstance.

Wrv is right. It wasn't a hardship transfer like the Jones case, so he will sit a year and have two years left when he returns.

I repeat my post for those who misread it the first time. Hmmm, let me see, last year would have been 2011-12, well if that's true then this year must be ..............

Well, in any case, when I say next year I mean 2013-14; that's when Mr. Jackson will be eligible at SMC.

Does anyone know what happened with that guy? Did he find another school?

Cut DD some slack, please. He's not just a river pilot, he's also a sky pilot.

Stealth fighter?

With the looming defense budget cuts, I'm afraid it's going to look more like this:

Roscoe Smith is now headed from UConn to UNLV. Smith started for UConn during their title run I believe. The Rebs are gonna be pretty tough this year.

That is going to make for a great game in the Chiles Center early December.

Yea, because UConn is ineligible for the post-season due to the team's academic problems, Smith sould play for the Rebels this (coming) season, but UNLV will have to submit a waiver to the NCAA on his behalf to make it a reality -- it should be a no-brainer.

December 4, to be exact.

The Rebels have a strong core back for this (coming) season -- they'll be led by Mike Moser, Anthony Marshall and Justin Hawkins, and now UConn transfer Roscoe Smith and transfers Bryce Jones (USC) and Khem Birch (Pittsburgh). And as if that were not enough they bring in a strong freshman class led by Anthony Bennett and Katin Reinhardt.

That seems like a team that could make a deep run in the NCAA tournament and be a nice December draw in the Chiles Center.

From various sources:

Gerard Coleman will transfer from Providence of the Big East to Gonzaga. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard averaged more than 13 points as a sophomore, but became disenchanted as the season wore on. Following the season, he requested a transfer from the school. Coleman visited Gonzaga and Xavier, before deciding to land in Spokane. Coleman will be eligible beginning with the 2013-14 season.

Gonzaga just picked up 6-7, 195-pound SG Drew Barham, transferring in from Memphis University. Barham just completed his redshirt year at Memphis, will graduate early from Memphis in August, will be immediately eligible to play, and has TWO years remaining.

Man!

USF Coach Rex Tweets:

Happy 2 get the news on De'End Parker! Young man has been thru a lot & the NCAA recognized this! D will B suiting up 4 the Dons this year!

Having UCLA transfer De'End Parker eligible for this season gives #USF a huge boost. Parker is instantly one of the more dynamic wing players in the #WCC.

No doubt about it......the 2014 transfers list, about 625 student- athletes changing schools, is a new record.  Grad transfers and waivers to play instantly are a part of the increased numbers, but a lot of players changed schools just looking for a better situation.....apparently.

Yep. Octeus to UCLA when he would have been starting PG for CSU. Even though CSU should be loaded this year. Frustrating.

Octeus is also the projected starter at UCLA as he's the only true PG on the Bruins' roster this year.

Funny, he's actually replacing Matt Carlino in that role in each player's graduate year.  Of course Carlino left UCLA for BYU and is now playing his final year at Marquette.

West Coast Convo has a WCC transfer list. If it's accurate, UP and USD are the only schools in the conference that didn't have a player transfer out of the program this year.

Schools like GU, BYU, and SMC are probably not concerned about the players that transferred-out as they were going to see little or no playing time anyway.....well, except for Carlino, of course.

All three schools have transfers coming in who will be instant starters or big contributors off the bench.

Just looking at GU, the addition of Nunez (Louisville), Wiltjer (Kentucky), McClellan (Tulsa & Vandy), and Wesley (USC) over the last two years make the Bulldogs a possible Top-10 team this coming season.

I believe UP considered a few transfers, but as the team is top-heavy with seniors, it made no sense to add another like Desmond Simmons, who transferred from UW to SMC.  The free addition of JUCO walk-on Max Livingston was probably as good as it could get for the Pilots as the team really needed to bring in some underclassmen on scholarships....Tyson, Todd, Taylor, and Hartwich.

Supposedly, graduate transfers such as Simmons are only able to avoid sitting out a year if they are transferring to take advantage of a graduate course of study not available at their previous school.

I wonder what graduate program Simmons found at SMC (graduate enrollment 2,000) that was not available at UW (13,700).

Could UP's modest graduate offerings (540 enrollment) hamper the basketball team's ability to attract graduate transfers?

At the graduate level schools, especially smaller ones, can taylor a degree to a student's needs.

And I'll bet UW doesn't have anything in Lasalian or Christian Brothers studies.

As far as UP goes, I'm pretty sure they can find two courses that would interest a graduate trying to extend a college basketball career. Ask VDM.

Well, there's nursing and theology....

It's usually a good idea to make sure you're admitted to a school before you transfer in. Just a minor issue.
Octeus denied admission to UCLA.
