Good site to see who is available on transfer market.

EvanMiya

Right now there are 767 names in this list.

Similar career to Brinson - began at Fairfield of the MAAC, transferred to JUCO Salt Lake CC, and most recently at Omaha of the Summit. The 6-1 combo guard is from Sweden.

Why are we not going after some BIG trees?

Exactly

I’m sure we are.

Why are we looking at so many guards?

Even though I really do not want anyone to leave, I am hoping the coaching staff knows someone is transferring that is not public yet.

Yeah, all the guard recruiting isn’t making me feel better about things. We already have two new guards for next season as I see it.

We are losing 2 starters in trapp and butler, so i get it but we desperately need a defensive big.

I find myself saying this same thing every year. It seems like Ron feels like big men are unnecessary. I just don’t get it.

Like he seems to think offensive rebounding is not important either. I guess they go hand in hand.

Son of former Niner, Rod Howard. Not sure why the Niners did not recruit him.

Well, looks like we are interested in a player from Louisville:
