JDIII has transferred to Ball State

[Gotcha23]

What's wrong with what I said? It's my honest opinion. Davis decided to transfer. He left the team. I'm not going to put him on a pedestal because his family went through a tragedy. Let's be honest here. What is him moving home and living at Ball State going to do to help his family recover from their house burning down? If he quit school and basketball to go get a job to help the family out financially then I would say yes, he's making a tough decision to help his family and I admire him for it. His house burned down, his family lost all their possessions, it sucks. I can't imagine the pain they are going through and hope I never have to experience it, but life will go on, they will find a new place to live and rebuild their lives. That would happen whether Davis was living at UC and playing basketball on scholarship or he is living at Ball State and playing basketball on scholarship. Davis wasn't happy here, he wasn't seeing the court. He decided to move his life and basketball career in a different direction. I don't blame him and I wish him well, but I'm not going to pretend this move in any way helps his family out other than he can pop in and see his family on a daily basis which might boost the family morale. The best thing for his family long-term is for him to get a degree and find a job in the real world. If he thinks that will happen better at Ball State then great.

I understand your thinking but how do we have any idea what this kid is going through? There could be a lot more to this situation than we know. When the kid isn't practicing there is some serious **** happening.

I think that he was thinking about transferring before the fire, and then the fire really sped up the process. It's okay, we get an extra scholly and he can be closer to his family during this rough time.

Possible replacement?

I doubt he would think about UC, but it can't hurt to go after a 6'8 guy who averaged 12 ppg and 7 rpg last season for Georgetown.

Transferred to Rutgers

I think if we run into injuries this year that we might be forced to take the redshirt off of Morman now that JD3 is gone. Thankfully, we have a lot of guards, but it still is a concern if we have some injuries.

I was thinking the same thing. As of now, he is in a walking boot with a broken foot if I remember correctly. I was wondering what his timetable for return is. Does anyone know? I would guess he probably couldn't return and be ready to go in time to serve any real help to the team.

6-8 weeks, definitely don't wanna use him if we can avoid it.

Thanks, I assumed that was the timetable, but wasn't sure. I would guess he would be an absolute last resort to play.

If they have an injury, they do have two walk-ons now. Obviously not ideal, but you could always steal a minute between a team time-out and a media time-out if you're short on players because of injuries or foul trouble. Let's just hope we stay healthy and never have to resort to that. I doubt Mick would ruin a year of eligibility for Morman to have him play (likely poorly being a freshman coming off an injury) in 4 or 5 games.

Cameron Biedscheid is transferring from ND. He was a top 30 player in HS and will still have 2 years left. I don't know anything about him and it looks like we didn't recruit him out of high school. Any chance we kick the tires on him?

I will predict no.
