Transfer wish list

What worries me is we have 8 eligible players for next season if my math is right.  1 or 2 key injuries and the season could be sunk. NO reason in my mind not to add a grad transfer or two to fill out the roster

Right. The staff has work to do. No STJ fan with a brain is going to accept that the staff's attention will be on the 2018 class. They need to get their shit together now.

Get your hopes up as you choose to

BIG things ahead...guys locked & loaded...a lil break coming and back at it in a few weeks. Nothing will hold them back #SJUBB

How far ahead ?
How big ?
A little break from what ? Certainly not signing someone since we haven't signed anyone.

Questians, questians. Seems like everyone else gets answers. How about us ? 

According to verbal commits there are 64 immediately eligble transfer still available. I can not believe  1 of them is not able to he lp us for one year

Agreed. Even if it's not a big and just a forward if we don't land Sid. You don't wana be thin because injuries will happen and we don't wana be done to like 6 guys live we were with Lavin that one year. It's possible to do like SMU did but more the exception then the rule

Roselle NIx just announced transfer from Pitt. Immediately eligible big body

He's better than nothing.

Forget injuries. The current roster today is not equipped with enough bigs to be a force in the BE next year. We need more size regardless.

At worst he is 5 fouls and can spell Tariq. Also his size he can defend against bigger teams

Villanova plays one guy over 6'8 and they won a national championship. We could use more size yea obviously but improvement of our own players and more depth I think is key. Would be nice to get a grad big but don't see it happening. We are obviously lacking size and I'm not disputing that.

We are in agreement here for the most part. 'Nova's a different animal. Their coaching and talent level is way above ours. I think it will take more than just our current roster improving to make that big jump next year to a tourney bubble team but we shall see.

Villanova had Ochefu in the middle the year they won.  By senior year he was a very good - excellent college big.

Im aware of all that. I'm not saying we are winning the NCAA tournament. Who did nova have last year upfront? Reynolds? He was decent but nothing special. Not all about height is my point.

That's why Nova lost early last season and why I predicted they would. BTW, Nova also had a 6'9 230 Reynolds alongside Uchefo when they won and Kris Jenkins was 6'7 230.

And their guards are always tough with good size. As good as our two guards are they are neither tough or have good size.

We really need to stop comparing ourselves to Villanova. we have absolutely no similarities to them as a program right now. We have had horrible luck recruiting as of late and really need to develop our players. Hoping for the best!

Think he would have been a nice pick up if he was an immediate eligible transfer

JaQuan Lyle at Ohio State arrested and quits the team apparently.
