Thought I recognized the name, but that was someone Hewitt offered way back when.

I'd love a shot at a guy like that, but I suspect he will have a long list of suitors.
 
Three Wichita State players just hit the portal: Sophomore guards Erik Stevenson and Jamarius Burton, and freshman guard Noah Fernandes. Stevenson (11.1) was second on the team in scoring. Burton (10.3) was third.


Remember Jamarius? Kid is a stud, he visited before. We should go after him.

So many recent targets transferring -- Tre Wood, Cheeref Knox, Jamarius Burton...makes you wonder if we got lucky because they would have done the same here, or if they just chose incorrectly and should have just come here?

Lmao I get your point but with burton absolutely not. Dude killed it this year and won’t look at us. Power 5.

I didn't think he'd come back around to us, I was saying he'd probably be leaving our program right now as we speak if he blew up here, and that's probably a bigger blow to our program considering how rarely Paulsen has landed a stud player like him.

I wouldn’t assume Burton would still be transferring. Word is Shockers had huge problems in the locker room, apparently guys didn’t get along, thus the mass exodus.

I am hoping Burton doesn't end up at an A10 school like a URI or a vcu.

Chances are he would probably end up in the Big Ten or Big 12, something like that.
 
Josiah had committed to University Buffalo but just reopened his recruitment. I know on paper we don’t have any scholarships available.

Clearly something going on with that one, left PVI finished season at Manassas Park.

These kids now all think they eventually belong at Duke. Much, much harder to get a fifth year Lamar Butler now.

Same thing happening in HS, kids move around and are less apt to confront adversity...

Doesn't mean they're bad kids but this is horrible for the sport. Still, not like mid majors aren't still rising to new heights even with the transferring...
 
Plus there's always the jerk-offs...

Xavier Johnson of Pittsburgh (O'Connell, no relation) just tweeted out to leave his friends and family alone as far as pushing transfers...
