2018/2019 Roster

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

I find it interesting that none of the JUCO transfers on the list are likely to earn a degree from SDSU. I think depending on the transfer route to improve this team is very hit and miss and most likely a miss. I think they are just a little different breed of cat compared to the kids that commit out of high school. Either that or we are recruiting the wrong kind of JUCO player.

The flip side is you can get a Deondre Parks. It does seem like more misses than hits though.

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

Disappointing to say the least about MC III.

I wouldn't go too far to lay any blame at Matt Mooney, he had to make the best decision for himself. His coach left, and he graduated... he was well within his rights.

AND, he was one of the two top players in the league...

Hopefully the Jackrabbits can bring in another transfer... maybe even a Grad Transfer with MC's spot open. (We're a little light on upperclassmen next year).

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

A couple of transfer players stat lines.

Matt Mooney, Texas Tech (USD): 14 starts, 2nd on team in minutes, 10.9 pts (2nd), 4.0 rebs (5th), 3.1 assists (2nd), 2.0 steals (1st)

Tre'Shawn Thurman, Nevada (UNO): 15 starts, 4th in minutes, 8.2 pts (4th), 5.9 rebs (2nd), 1.0 blocks (tied for 1st)

No doubt that top end talent level at the Summit can transfer well.

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

Not redshirting also allows them to transfer mid-career without losing a year of eligibility. As the year they sit at their new school is also their red-shirt year.

But they still sit a year in the middle of their college career. Which delays their ability to earn money playing basketball, whether that be in the NBA, developmental league or overseas. Which probably doesn't matter to players who transfer because of lack of playing time or a bad relationship with coaches. But it may matter to players already in a good situation (like Jenkins for example).

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

Jenkins is also seeing first-hand how much exposure Mike Daum is getting while staying at SDSU. Jenkins also has not had a redshirt year, so he would have to sit a year if he were to transfer. I think the whole grad transfer issue may make coaches think twice about redshirting a player that may have a chance to contribute right away, as in the cases of Jenkins and Owen King.

Yes it does. Thank You

Nidaros, MCIII's name is also listed on verbatcommits as transferring. It was linked earlier in this thread.

According to verbalcommits, Michael Carter is transferring. https://verbalcommits.com/transfers/2019

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

definitely not blaming Mooney as I honestly think it was an easy decision. Sets him up the whole rest of his career. But I do think top players etc jenkins see the exposure he is no getting and makes transferring enticing.

Yes sir I do. Does a member of the coaching staff count?

Yes it does. Thank You

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

I know this question will boil water in your mind, but do you have source for this info? I notice MCIII is not listed on the roster so apparently he is no longer part of the team. I suspect a very good NAIA program would be interested in him and academic commitment would not be as much of an issue.

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

MCIII is gone. Poor attitude and acedemic commitment. Good riddance

Re: 2018/2019 Roster

The problem is Matt Mooney has set the stage for some of these transfers. Mooney is starting for a top 10 team in the country, playing on espn every game, has pretty much assured himself a good European contract. The top talent in the summit league is fully capable of starting for some of the top teams in the country. He grad transferred but I’m sure players are seeing his success and at least ponder their options.

The problem for Summit League schools, I assume you mean. Because that sounds like the opposite of a problem for players.
