'17 AUS C Jacob Epperson

[Culvercc]

Thanks. Wasn't sure on the credibility of the source.

[coachpipe]

im going out on a limb(not a tough one) saying we arent going to land him.

[rogerOH]

I have seen him play numerous times and think he is over-rated, Keith Williams will be an impact player from the start- Epperson is a project.

[Patrick Bateman]

He is looking at Toledo, Utah and Creighton, maybe Texas, seems like a project

I want a high major transfer big. Need to soften the blow of Gary and Kyle leaving. I think Naz and Tre are gonna be good players but need a better offensive low post option. If they cant get a transfer then they better go hard after a blue chip recruit who can play right away in the post.

Jack I think both options will be looked at. Being able to offer immediate playing time will help land a good player.

Easier said than done. With the coach carousel moving may be able to get a look but a high major transfer will be a longshot. With the AAC having a max bid of maybe a 4 seed, does not bode well. PT in a P5 is considerably different offer than in the AAC. I doubt you will see anyone near Semi's caliber transferring to the AAC

AAC does not have a max bid of a 4 seed, I agree we got screwed this year as a conference, but a couple more wins for the cats and that could easily change.

Not sure how you could just assume that across the board. Having a chance to be a go to guy on a Top 25 team might be exactly what a transfer is looking for after spending a couple years getting lost in the shuffle for an underachieving P5 school. Will a player of that caliber transfer to South Florida? No. But UC? Very possible imo.

especially when you hear alot of kids transfer for the sole reason of wanting to make the tournament. Its all but guaranteed UC will make the tournament every year they play in the AAC
