Justin Martin rumor

[Bearcatboy]

No, he's not.

Yes he is saying the same thing I said I saw

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Great news I'm starting to think its a done deal.

Done deal like Kemp to the Reds??

It's going to happen one of these years lol

And you're not reporting it either. You're regurgitating an unsubstantiated internet rumor that was posted by one random person on twitter. That's not reporting.

Glad you know I am just joking. Reds really need a right handed bat.

I presume that if there is smoke re:Martin we wouldn't really hear anything official until the 17th.

You know what I mean your just looking for something to pick at.

Yeah on the 17th I think he just comes out and says where he going to transfer to.

I'd bet a lot that he doesn't commit on the 17th. It's never that easy.

I know what you meant because I've been around long enough to pick up on your schtick.

Other people haven't so I'm helping to point them in the right direction.

I would be surprised if he comes here. Generally when a player transfers out of a program, they want to get away from it... not move a few miles down the street to their biggest rival where they will be loathed by their former fan base and face both increased scrutiny and potential interaction with scorned former teammates.

The only thing I could see is that he wants out of Xavier but doesn't want to move away and rearrange his whole life for a 1 year deal. He could get more exposure at UC and stay in the same city he's already been in for 4 years. I'm still hopeful but there is nothing to point to this being anything close to a done deal.

 

[BearcatMick]

Like I said. Its not going to happen. It was never going to happen. There are plenty of other better transfers on the market Mick should pursue

Martin is like priority #7 on mick list right now. More of a fallback plan Dayton and Ohio U also in play here.

Since you're privy to the priority list can you let us in on who is currently in slots 1-6?

Thanks

Thanks. Not sure how save a scholly fills two spots though.

Also odd they'd bring in Cobb for a visit before Haywood if he's lower on the list.

There is no way we are saving any scollys and where's Shreiner at.

Taking Justin Martin (or any other grad transfer) is essentially saving a scholarship because it would be available for the '15 class so not sure why you have that logic.

I think Shreiner and Haywood are last resorts and more or less off the radar...Haywood more just bc he can't play right away.

Doubt it. Guys who average 16 ppg in Division I and have 2 years of eligibility remaining don't grow on trees.
