Post Season Player Transfer Thread

[tornado]

Beverley was and still is a little ticked that he wasn't more strongly recruited by Illinois, and
he took it as a personal slap in the face.
Even recently, after his good freshman season at Arkansas, he spoke publicly to a Chicago Trib reporter in this manner:

"Y'all need to holler at Bruce Weber, too, man. Tell him, 'I told you so.'"
"I want that in the paper," Beverley said, then emphasizing his next three words like an exasperated parent commanding a defiant toddler: "Tell. Bruce. Weber: Does he still doubt me? I want that in the paper."

There are growing rumors of a couple of top Chicago area players, both sophomores, thinking of leaving the schools they're at and transferring back to the area.

One is Bobby Frasor at UNC, who simply hasn't seen the court much at North Carolina after spending his freshman year there as starting PG. The guy taking all the playing time is freshman Ty Lawson who is coming back again next season, so Bobby's PT isn't going to get better.
Rumors have it that Bobby has talked with some people at DePaul and Illinois.

Brandon Ewing, the top player at Wyoming is possibly going to leave after the coaching change there.
Ewing's 19.9ppg, 3.2 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.5 spg averages make him one of the most attractive potential transfers this spring.

Arkansas' Patrick Beverly is all but gone at Arkansas, but will apparently NOT reconsider Illinois.

Here are the other school's Beverley's mom says were in the running:
St. John's, Virginia, Michigan and UCLA

Beverley and his mom appear to be happy with Dana Altman. He is saying he will stay at Arkansas--

Here are a couple of big transfers.

Indiana U. will lose freshman Xavier Keeling who has announced he will leave and transfer elsewhere.

Purdue will be losing sophomore Chris Lutz and freshman Jonathan Uchendu.

Uchendu has been discussed on this board before.

http://www.bradleyfans.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6302

He apparently never did get any form of punishment or suspension despite being arrested at almost 4AM for public drunkeness at the age of 19.

[Average Joe]

Lutz is a good player.
In 2 years at Purdue he has started 1/2 the games he's played and hits a career 47.2% (58/123) on 3-pointers.
He'd have been a nice target for BU, but all the scholarships for 2007 that would be going to guards are tied up.

More player transfers- 2 players are leaving Western Illinois, including Xavier Price who was a transfer from Purdue and was a highly recruited player out of Bellville West high school in 2004.

http://media.www.westerncourier.com/media/storage/paper650/news/2007/04/04/Sports/Price.Is.Wrong.For.Western-2822065.shtml

This site had him ranked right behind Jeremy Fears in the classs of 2004, and ahead of some good players.

Price already transferred once from Purdue to Western...so what's he going to do now?

I think everyone saw that one coming. I mean come on. Same as Kevin Durant.

A couple really nice players are added to the transfer list:

Freshman Phil Nelson, 6-7 strong PF, is leaving Washington and looking to transfer. He started about 1/2 of Washington's games even with their powerful lineup.

Kevin Swinton, 6-7 225lb PF sophomore is leaving Wake Forest played in all 58 games that he had dressed for in his two years at Wake. His career FG% is 50% but he was getting only 10mpg.
Previously two other fine Wake players announced they are leaving,
Casey Crawford, 6-9, 235lb PF/C who averaged 21pts/12rebs per game in HS and
Sharmaine Dukes, 6-1 sophomore PG who averaged 24ppg 8.5apg, and 8rpg in HS.

(I wonder what's going on at Wake?)

This sounds like a case of players seeing where they are at in the pecking order and not being happy with their playing time. I'm seeing nothing scandalous in these transfer.

That said, Swinton would be a horse at a mid-major with his 6'7" 225 lb rebounding body. He sounds a little like a Matt Salley- type player, only stronger. I think he'll end up with a hometown mid-major -- either UNCG or NC A&T. I predict he'll end up at UNCG to fill the role of their honorable mention player Kyle Hines who is graduating. He is almost a clone and would excel at UNCG and in that conference.
