A good option would be Justin Coleman from Samford. I don't think he would transfer in looking for tons of minutes.



If we have an open scholarship and he understands we can guarantee him nothing, I think he should be a take almost no matter what. Just not sure how he'd feel about being a 5mpg type guy


Just mentioned/edited above though that the realistic, ideal solution is for Dought + Brown to improve at PG and snag a SG/SF option. Adding Coleman would only make that option better

So Desean Murray has received interest from Memphis, Clemson, USC, Maryland, St Johns, Western Kentucky, SMU and Nevada


I'm personally rooting for him to go play in the Korean KBL league. They put in a new 6'6 height restriction on foreign players. Desean Murray would so thoroughly dominate that league, it would be insane. He'd be the Korean GOAT


Also, supposedly there are a lot of problems with team solvency + fulfillment of contracts overseas if you aren't in top leagues. Supposedly the KBL both pays well ($20k/mo tax free + amenities) and are insanely reliable in payment relative to other comparable status leagues

In the world of NCAA basketball game film is all posted to a website that is accessible to all D1 programs. They do this because sending film back and forth between teams with such short turnaround is unfeasible unlike NCAA football

I'm pretty sure I detected sarcasm in Gene's response to which you responded.

He likely was. Still good info that I doubt most people were aware of so I don't regret it

Down the stretch he was a role player off the bench at best and you know this. He excelled against the non conference teams we played mainly.

You sure you know who Desean Murray is? The guy who started and averaged 25 minutes per game in conference play

His KenPom Offensive Rating is higher vs SEC opponents than OOC opponents

We likely are targeting grad transfers, which often takes awhile to figure out as kids try to graduate and figure things out after that point. Obviously, some announce/commit early but it is still early in that market

JUCO 6'6 SG/SF Brandon Mahan originally from BHam signed with Texas A&M. We were in contact with him

Auburn is in the mix for Memphis transfer SG Jamal Johnson. He just finished his FR year and played significant minutes (~25mpg) and was solid but nothing special. He is the son of Buck Johnson, Alabama bball star.

I remember him. Teammates and close friends with Wiley at Spain Park. He was on our radar out of HS too. If we get him that could be a good indicator that Wiley is coming back.


We definitely need a guard that can play immediately though. Its a good year for guards on the transfer market, I posted a list a few pages ago of some of the better available players on the market, just don't know who exactly we're targeting.

They are desperate. They lost every starter, return only 5 players with experience and they likely will be in the bottom 10-15 in Minute Continuity/Returning Minutes

So with the FBI hitting and losing some 3-4 5* players + less attractive grad transfer destination, Arizona will take just about anyone
