Most recently he was the color analyst for Pitt basketball radio broadcasts for 40 seasons, calling games until he was nearly 90. Quite a life.

Very true. I imagine he had a connection. Its hard to fall that far without other options along the way. 10ish years ago Edinboro picked up a RB from Notre Dame. There was some sort of connection that got him there.

That's back in the internet is for information and shopping days when guys could get away with a lot of stupid stuff (or it wouldn't really get out). LOVED giving Gary a hard time when he came to Edinboro.
He wasn't perfect. That program wasn't 100 percent clean. But, a lot of the ending was a Witch Hunt.

I remember back in 'our day' we used to see these transfers from big-name schools quite frequently -- usually in football.
IUP men's basketball was loaded with D1 transfers in the Gary Edwards era. They weren't from major programs, however (with Dennis Mimms being an exception). I remember one year his entire 8-man rotation was all D1 transfers.
Those were some exciting teams -- on the court and off. Edwards wasn't looking for choir boys.

Perhaps so, but it still is an example of how a highly recruited guy can take a dip from a high-profile football conference to D2. I also think basketball is a little easier to rate than football as individual skills tend to be more apparent with only five guys on the court at a time. That's just my opinion.

Well, our football team has a guy that was a four-star recruit for Boston College, an ACC school, and it's not even certain he'll start at Ship this year. And it's not like we've been the elite of the PSAC in football the last few years. Some players are overlooked. Some are overrated. Sometimes they just end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. And with open transfers and NIL I think we're going to see more of it.
What seems to be the issue? Accuracy?

Football is a little different in my opinion. A lot of guys use the grad transfer to play one more season for fun and are willing to drop down. I don't recall really seeing that in basketball.

Tomiwa is going to experience something similar although not that drastic.
How does an SEC player, former 4-star, end up in truly the bush league destination of D1?
Aside from basketball, imagine the culture shock of campus life.

A former 4-star recruit at that. Wait until he sees how many people come out for that Thursday night game against Wisconsin Green Bay. LSU averages 9300 and change - RMU 1100 and change. Toole will be lucky to still have him on the team in March.
