By necessity. Powell ain't walking back through that door, and with McKnight, they are losing one of the best backcourts the school has ever had. Plus Gil's departure has them a bit concerned, I think, on the front line because of how the transfer from Florida State underperformed (although they will be fine there, IMO, because I think Mamu is one of the best bigs returning to the league next year and will be an all conference type performer).
Not to mention rumors that Anthony Nelson (a would be junior PG) is unhappy and in Willard's dog house, and Cale who played a good chunk but spent part of the year in the dog house as well. So between having to replace the McKnight/Powell combo, and possibly some additional movement from their roster, they need to inject experienced talented players. No shock they are going after every possible grad transfer/sit out transfer with ability.

Columbia grad transfer Mike Smith tells me that he is now receiving interest from both Seton Hall and Gonzaga in addition to Arizona and Michigan.[/quote]
Did Matt move on to Seton Hall while I have been isolating? Seton Hall seems to be in on every transfer in the country.[/quote]

No shock given who recruited them. Nebraska is already a turnstile.

[quote="Las Vegan" post=382687]Amari Hardy, a talented combo guard, who started at UNLV, put name in transfer portal. Don't know if coach wanted him out or not. I think he has two years left.[/quote]
CMA recruited him at Arkansas, but his shooting numbers are not great. He is a grad transfer btw.

Story in today's paper with his father certainly gives the impression the coaching staff felt they would be better without him. He was a four-star, top fifty recruit and father said he has 15 schools interested, already. He finished the season looking good. Not sure if his future is at point or on wing.

Wow...thought he was high potential. Maybe he'll transfer to Syracuse, where his brother played.

Alex O'Connell leaving Duke after 3 years. Smart kid interesting to see if he graduates after just 3 years and is immediately eligible:

Seems like the type of kid who could triple his output just by picking the right school.

Harvard's Seth Towns, considered to be the #1 grad transfer on the market by ESPN, has picked Ohio State over Duke and others as his destination for next year
He's a local kid from Columbus, Ohio who has had injuries the past two seasons but was the Ivy Player of the Year in 2017-18, shooting 44% from 3 point land

PC always manages to get interior guys with bulk. We’ll see on this one;
Goodman;
La Salle big man Ed Croswell told me he will choose between Providence and ODU today. The 6-8, 250-pound sophomore averaged 10 points and 7.3 boards last season.
