Transfers & Grad Transfers

[Dubl R 1]

Is Laron Black eligible to transfer as a grad transfer? He would fill a huge need.

I get the sense that Mark Smith, like a lot of kids has advisors who are steering him...and that he's gonna listen to those same people who steered him to Illinois - we see it all the time..

Illini reporter Mark Tupper thinks Finke will be the next to leave as a grad transfer to Grand Canyon to play with his brother- LINK

Are our coaches in contact with Mark Smith? Would we have any chance.

I am a Mark Smith fan. I think he could be a dominant guard by Jr and Sr year if his work ethic is what Underwood described it to be. I personally think he should have stuck it out at Illinois because I think he just needs more time focusing on just basketball. That being said, I would be strongly in favor of him coming to BU because he could be an all-conference type in a couple of years. However, I think he has his sights set on P5. I hope I am wrong though because if he wants to be the man (as some are posting on other boards) he should go to a mid-major.

Here's a pretty good list of transfers-

I think the last couple experiences our coaches had with transfers has made it even less likely that we'll see another one any time soon.

I won't keep track of all of them - just the ones who may be of value or have interest...will avoid those who can't score at least double digits...
