Re: Transfers

Yes he did. To the best of my knowledge, WLU hasn't put any restrictions on a transferring player.

Re: Transfers

I thought there were restrictions for Dennis and Guillozet (spelling). Dennis fought it and won and Guillozet(spelling) didn't and didn't go to Nova. I think it just boils down to if the school grants a kid a full release or not. Typically if you are going to a different conference you can play right away but I thought the restriction for the WL guys was in place to deter guys from following Crutch.

Re: Transfers

Sheer speculation, but scuttlebutt around Columbus after his freshman season was that Dennis thought he was D1 and was going to leave even before Crutch left.
Don't know if Guillozet had an offer from Crutch. If he wanted to be the main man, WL or Nova is not the place.
He will have his chance at Valdosta now that Justice is gone.
I am not sure if there were any restrictions on transfers while Crutch was at WL (i.e., Columbo at NDC).

Former Concord guard Jair Rodgers has signed with Florida Southern.

Re: Transfers

Former East Stroudsburg, and more recently, Le Moyne small forward Kobi Nwandu is (again) available.

He's a pretty nice player.

Re: Transfers

And look at the D1 teams those four DII players transferred to. Not exactly Duke or Georgetown! Heck, not even South Carolina or UCF!!!!

The best bet would be for the elite D2 post players. The kid from Ferris State two years ago went to Xavier. Dustin Sleva easily could have found had a home if he wanted to move up.

The guards seem to have a much tougher path.

Good point. Higher supply of good guards that are so close in ability that for schools it often comes down to size and strength as to who gets selected ( not to mention names but 6 ft and 150 lbs is detrimental).

Ferris state guy was national player of year I think. Looked dominating in finals against two bigs.

And if they left euro style teams for d1 schools that are dribble drive teams they have hurt their chances of playing overseas. Well at least they got something to brag about at cocktail parties after graduation. Lol

I don't think nearly as many want to play overseas as you may think.

You are probably right and that illustrates the huge gap between how players and their handlers perceive their skills and reality.

If they are not interested because they are stubbornly holding on to the NBA dream then that is truly unfortunate. U can make very good money overseas, far more than typical college grad. Unless you are all conference and play for power 5 or big east conference team then your chances are very remote of making nba. Far more teams overseas.

Yes. This idea that every single kid who is on a college basketball team wants to play professionally even if it means moving half way across to play in a second rate Portuguese league is way overblown. And the idea that guys who were benchwarmers at D1 schools wasted their college years is very misguided.
