Grad Transfers
Figured I would get a thread started covering this since it may be the route the program has to go to fill out the remaining 2 scholarships. As of the last 12 hours:
Oakland G Jaevin Cumberland is expected by many to choose the Bearcats and play with his cousin Jarron. Florida Golf Coast G Haanif Cheatham is considering Arkansas, Cincinnati and Nebraska. Will visit Nebraska this weekend and Arkansas soon after. Have to think if the Bearcats get his last visit, we can possibly seal the deal. He is a former Marquette commit and top 75 4 star recruit. I would love a lineup of: G Jaevin Cumberland G Jarron Cumberland G Williams F Scott C Brooks Bench: PG Johnson SG Curtis G Cheatham G Moore F Prince F Hardnett C Eliel F Diarra |
Jaevin looks like he would be an excellent addition and it seems like we have a lot going for us for his recruitment. We have his cousin, a coach who used to coach in his conference (in fact Oakland's season ended with a loss to NKU in their conference tournament) and are very local to his home town.
He is an excellent 3-point shooter, good scorer and has a solid assist to TO ratio. Him and Jarron could rotate PG duty and Johnson would be the primary backup PG. He'd probably be my top grad transfer target. Cheatham it's harder to say, apparently he had a lingering shoulder injury, tried to play through it and ended up getting surgery. His numbers at FGSU weren't that impressive, but that is likely due to the injury. He put up good numbers as a freshman at Marquette. There's also the question of post-surgery rehab, how healthy will he be and can he do everything he could before. He'd be a high-risk addition, but considering our depth it's a risk we could afford to take (especially if we get Jaevin Cumberland). |

Assuming we get Curtis, I'd be okay with adding one grad transfer and saving the second scholarship or using it on someone who won't play next year (transfer or redshirt). We are already pretty deep next year, though the depth is inexperienced. Don't need all 13 players to be able to play, as we will probably only go 10 deep at most. |

I really hope we reach out to Chris Clarke. That kid would be ideal in Brannen's philosophy. Always liked him. Scrappy as hell.
