    report that UNI's Adam McDermott will transfer to Coe College, a DIII
    In his one season at UNI, McDermott was a non-factor. He only played a total of 78 minutes in 8 early-season games. He did not play again after January 7, 2018 and that does not appear to be due to injury.
    He had already used up a redshirt year after transferring from North Dakota to UNI in 2016, so he was pretty limited in his options. If he transferred again to another D1, he would have lost an entire year of eligibility. Another likely influence is that Coe College is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which is McDermott's home town.

          The big schools have been cherry-picking the best players off midmajor rosters for years and now their shills have gotten so used to it that they expect the midmajors who are being robbed to lay down and serve their demands!
          I applaud Evansvlle for their actions - they have given Dru Smith a FULL RELEASE and he is free to go anywhere he wants - and yet they are still bitc*ing!

          • That article is worthy of a "Worst Example of Journalism" award. The writer admits that Evansville granted Dru Smith a full release to transfer anywhere he wanted. But then proceeds to rip them over and over many times for some vague claim that somehow they did not cooperate with Missouri's request for a waiver. He never says exactly what Evansville didn't do or should have done differently. And even worse, he doesn't reveal how he knows this to be fact, other than a vague allusion to some secret anonymous source (which actually sounds a lot more like sour grapes than a factual source). And then he goes back to ripping and calling Evansville names over and over.
            Columns like this should be used in journalism classes to instruct students how not to write a column.

                MORE DRAMA!!! ...now the Evansville press has an article in response...

                they say that Mizzou tried to get Evansville to lie & claim that Dru Smith was mistreated & booted ("run off") at Evansville!!
                ...that was a sneaky, dishonest attempt by Missouri to find a way to get the kid eligible immediately!!!

                • As I said yesterday (3 posts above), for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writer to write that scathing column ripping Evansville based solely on their "anonymous source close to the player", which I am sure is a disgruntled family member of Dru Smith himself who probably just made things up. Then he never even bothering to contact anyone at Evansville for their side of the story, and concocted that entire column based on false information. Just a perfect example of abysmal journalism.

                    • EKU transfer AJ Youngman plays his first game tonight at Otero

                      but his old squad back at Eastern Kentucky put up a big number in their first exhibition last night

                      EKU beat Kentucky Christian 136-92
                      61 total fouls, 81 FT attempts, 153 FG attempts, 46 total turnovers, EKU grabbed 56 rebounds, a total of 118 points off the benches!!
                      Kentucky Christian is a relatively new (2014) independent Division II NAIA team - formerly NCCAA

                      • a kid who may be worth a look....

                        6-10 post Angus McWilliam - originally from New Zealand, has played youth ball in Australia - is probably familiar with Jayden Hodgson...
                        is tranferring from TCU...
                        He has barely played due to a concussion but he would have 3 years remaining.

                        • headed into 2019 - I do notice something interesting this season in the MVC

                          EVERY MVC team (except Bradley) has at east one 4-year transfer player as one of their top scorers and best players - and in most cases it's two or more

                          Drake - Norton & Ellingson start & are 2 of their top 4 scorers
                          Evansville - Feehan starts and is one of their top scorers plus they have Kansas transfer Sam Cunliffe
                          Illinois State - Yarbrough & Chastain now but they have FOUR MORE transfers sittting out waiting for next year - they have become Transfer U
                          Indiana State - Christian Williams from Iowa & Cooper Neese
                          Loyola - Custer & Townes - arguably their two best players are transfers plus another starter Uguak
                          Missouri State - their top scorer Da Silva, two other starters Ridder & Webster plus Josh Hall & Tyrik Dixon
                          UNI - Trae Berhow
                          SIU - Marcus Bartley
                          Valparaiso - 3 of their starting five - Fazekas, Evelyn, Lavender all came from other DI schools - plus two more- Eron Gordon & Nick Robinson

                            but if you add in the juco transfers, the you see that EVERY MVC team has at least 2 or 3 of their starters or TOP players are transfers..

                            I used to be against transfers - but it is pretty darned apparent that every other MVC team has gotten strong by grabbing talent via the transfer route..

                            Heck- where would Loyola have been without Clayton Custer, Marques Townes - heck, those guys carried Loyola to the Final Four!
                            I would love to see a couple strong juco scorers step in next year to help us...

                            • My Aces also have another transfer sitting out (Art Labinowicz). Art is a 6'4" guard transfer from Coastal Carolina where he averaged 10.8 points and 4.4 rebounds a game last year. If you can bring in a transfer from another D1 program who has good stats and no "issues" why would you not? Between Art, Cunliffe, and Williams I like what my Aces have coming for next year.

                              Would say the same for ISUr. The players they have sitting out this year (Hillsman, Boyd, Fisher, Ndiaye) should help in the transition. Having players ready to go who have a year in your program can't be a bad thing.

                              Cheering with pep and vim for the white and purple!

                              • Add another for the Aces. Peace Ilegomah, a Pittsburgh transfer with 7-foot-4 wingspan, starts classes as UE on Monday. UE is going to petition for him to start playing at the start of 2019-2020 to have 2 years, but worse case he will have 1 1/2 years. Good high school stats at a high profile program, but did not get a lot of playing time at Pitt after the coach that recruited him was fired.

                                Can't teach size though, and the Aces are going to need it after DC graduates.
