How about Reid Travis from Stanford - 19.5 points, 8.7 rebounds? 6'8" 245.
Transfers Thread
Kentucky or Villanova
Makes sense. Just wonder if the prospect of 35 mins a game could cause him to at least take a glance before he moves on.
You never know how a player thinks, but when he averages 34 mpg at Stanford and decides to leave, I think he is looking for something other than just mins per game with this move.
Well established starters who leave Power Five schools as grad transfers are looking for the big time spotlight more often than not. Doing it with a Stanford degree in hand is a pretty sweet play, good for him.
Wow. Didn’t realize he already had that much PT. Go compete for championship young man
Not sure what you call a Stanford undergrad degree with a Kentucky Master's??
I think you just call it a Stanford undergraduate degree.
It's called accepting all credits from Stanford and issuing the masters without attending any classes at Kentucky
That is what I thought, but then OA was on "personal business" in LA the other day.
A year off? Gap year?
I gotta imagine very few of these grad transfers actually complete a masters degree at their next school. Could be wrong.
LA is not exactly Stanford/Palo Alto, still a good hall away.

It would be pretty risky, given that he had knee surgery in March. However, we do have 3 open scholarships...
If he had a torn ACL in March, he won't be able to play this year and thus is of no real use to us.

Isn't the typical timeframe for ACL return more like 6-8 months now? He would certainly be able to come back at some point during the season and he's 7 foot and can rebound. I would say, there is literally no downside to taking him. He'll be 24 in Oct and has already transferred twice, so I don't think he would be looking to take a medical redshirt and sit out another year.

I found this article well written regarding our depth (or lack thereof) at C.

It was entertaining. Well written? Yeah, no.... LOL.
I agree. We need to get some bodies on this team.
He is from the Bronx and was coached by Antigua's brother in Pan Am games.
Torn ACL in March, he could be cleared as early as September but certainly by November
No way he can play until January at the earliest
Not true at all. ACL recovery times are trending towards longer return to play, but 6-9 months is still very common at this point.
Wasn't DaMonte hurt in Nov and wasn't cleared until Sept? 10 mos? Differences in the ACL injury or surgery?
