I saw him play a few times this year. He looks like the could be a nice big off the bench

I remember him as a soph at Molloy. I liked his game then. He was 6'7 then. Has he grown any ?

Zags reporting interest, looks like he medical redshirted last year

not sure if he would be eligible immediately or not...

Reading these quotes, it implies that he's going to try to get a waiver to play next season, and that Turgeon is supporting that:

Terps coach Mark Turgeon later confirmed the news via a press release and said in a statement that Pankey, a native of Bronx, N.Y., “needed to find a school closer to home in order to aid his family.”

“My mom is the rock in my life and I promised her I would take care of her like she did for me,” Pankey said. “Therefore, I am choosing to put my family first and look for a school closer to home.

On Marylands Yahoo website he's listed as a 6'9"  220 lb frosh

Averaged 4.7 pts & 4.9 rebs in 20 min/g

We were in his final list  back when he 1st decided-

Only if Immediately eligible

Bball....you got a scoring report for us?

Remember he burned his redshirt year already.  So unless he gets a waiver to play immediately OR he down the road applies for a 6th year he will basically LOSE a full year of eligibility because of the transfer assuming he has to sit a year.

1) he'll probably get the waiver because of his injury, coaching change etc.

2) is he any good or at least worth taking into the program? 

He's a big kid which we desperately need and he's from an ACC program.  He could possibly help us if he's playing right away.  Not sure if it's worth it if he's not going to play this season.  Thoughts?

He's alright with me a personal friend of a friend. Sign him up

Ditto Chille!

I'd take him if he's eligible to play immediately because he fits a need. He's a capable body however he'd be better suited to transfer to a school like Iona.

Since he had a medical redshirt he is allowed to keep that year of eligibility transferring. If it wasn't due to medical he would lose it. I'm 95% sure on that.

 When does Iona have to trim down the 45 man roster?

My sense is he will get the family related waiver. Who doesn't today? He would bring strength, size and rebounding, fitting a need for us. Tough call if it puts Chandler at risk, but I believe Lavin can work that out. Getting two bigs this late would be great. Louisville and UConn last year shuffled the cards to make things work when exceeding ship count. Sure we can as well IMO.
