I'm actually glad to hear this. If they evaluate a guy who has a lot of potential, but find his character lacking/fit is bad, and drop him, to me that's a good sign. Fit is really important, and I'll be happy to have a coach again who understands that.

He's been productive enough for how few minutes he's seen. If Underwood/Whitman felt confident in taking a chance on him, fine. But he's always seemed like a head case to me. His attitude on the court is horrible, IMO, or at least it was. Seems like he has a lot of growing up to do. It's been mentioned before by others, but if Bill Self is ready to kick him to the curb then I'm not sure I want him. But, again, that's a judgment for important people to make, not me.

Plus it seems most are going off where he was at when we recruited him, I was at first when he announced he was transferring. Now that I've seen what he's done the past couple years at KU he's not nearly as appealing.
And on top of that, the whole transfer thing has kind of lost it's luster for me. Yes, we got a couple decent players in Groce' tenure. But did it really help us all that much? Not really.
Another transfer candidate...Jack Whitman of William and Mary. I understand NC is looking at him. WM runs up tempo and may be a good transfer fit for us.

This article about McIntosh is a couple of weeks old but 6 ISU people pick where he might end up. 1 picks us, 1 Mizzou, 1 Dayton and 3 Minnesota. He was good friends with Reggie Lynch, he wants to play in a P5 conference, and Minnesota is almost assured of making the tournament next year.
Not being invited to the combine means almost for sure he'll be transferring - not sitting around waiting for a phone call. Have to admit Minnesota makes the most sense.

What's Minny's bigs situation? I highly doubt almost any school will be able to offer the amount of immediate playing time we could (which is what 99% of transfers really want), plus we are just right down the road. I think Illinois makes a ton of sense, too.

McIntosh thinks he can play in the NBA so I don't think he's worried about getting playing time most places he goes. Found this on a Gopher website and it sounds like they can use bigs -- they return 4 of 5 starters so they're going to be good but McIntosh would make them very good. Not saying he's going there, just saying that right now they make more sense than Illinois if he wants pt and a shot at the dance.

Even though we could offer him a lot of PT, if I was McIntosh I'd be a little concerned about playing out of position at Illinois due to the dearth of quality bigs on the roster. Underwood's offensive system may allay this issue somewhat, but if I'm 6'7 with NBA aspirations I do not want to be the biggest guy on the floor trying to guard the other guy's center every time down.
Saw some tape.on him someplace in the last few days. Looks like he could be a really good pickup. NC looking at him should be evidence of that.

Mike Brown's son. Took an official to NW a week or so ago and Wildcats were pushing strongly for him. Thanks, Ducks. (Of course Purplestein did an article about it.)

I haven't heard of us going after Kameron Rooks, 7-1, 260 pounds, but it seems we should. He's exactly what we need - a big body to rebound and block shots that is ready to play in the big ten right now. Avg. 17 mpg the last 2 seasons, 5pts. 4 rebounds, but that's all we need out of him.

His knees are shot, makes Mike Thorne look like a DWS contestant.

I'd pass on Rooks and the guy from Charlotte barely got into their rotation so I'd pass on him too.
Jack Whitman and Hans Brase look good.

Damn westervelt u already knew.
Double, double machine Marin Maric from Northern Illinois did not get invited to the draft combine, so maybe he remains an option.

I still like this kid. Not sure if he is interested in sticking around in the States one more year or playing in Europe.

Haven't seen anything as of yet...I think he could help us and get relief minutes..choices are getting slimmer. Rooks I would pass on for sure.
Hans Brase could help us as well...either him or Benas guy could I think.

North Texas grad transfer Jeremy Combs told ESPN he has committed to LSU. 6-foot-7 forward averaged 10.2 points per game this past season.
