Twitter reporting Shane is transferring…. Hope it’s not true but if it is that’s disappointing man….really disappointing.

Verbal Commits has it as a done deal.

Hate to see anyone leave the program, but not a big loss in my opinion.

[LUHoops00Participant]

Verbal commits just took the one tweet and updates site….however thru some sources I have confirmed this unfortunate news….this is a loss, I liked his game and upside, he could have developed well like a HG did as he got better each year.

Another reason why it’s disappointing three guard coming in and not one big because a transfer or injury like this with no bigs coming in really slows down frontcourt depth….not we got TK JC JG and CB and that’s it….CB most recently academically ineligible!

[RichHParticipant]

Wish him well. A loss for us,I think he will be very solid given his ability,just needs some confidence.

[LUHoops00Participant]

Agree rich, wonder if we try to use open scholy on one of nearly 500 transfers.

[RichHParticipant]

Well, I guesd, but think some confirmation from Shane first. His TL silent. Should we ask him?

[TMHParticipant]

I’m not sure what good a transfer would do for next season so if we are going to invest in one, it better be a perfect fit. IMHO, the more likely scenario is that the scholarship money will be divided in some fashion among the walk-ons for next season. If one of them steps up this season, they have a shot to earn the rest of it. If not, there will be a 4th scholarship to be given for 2015. Just my opinion.

[RichHParticipant]

Can Bball schollies be split?

[pafan11Participant]

Huge lose! In my opinion Shane other than TK had the most potential impact in this class. Big, athletic, adequate handles. With improved mid-range game would have been a difficult match-up at the 3 or 4 for the next 3 years.

D1 BBall schollies cannot be split. I would guess the staff would try and bring in another big this year or next with the open scholarship. Could possibly go to walk-on if they have impressed in practice.

[RichHParticipant]

Option could be togivea WO the schollie for this season and use it next yr for an agile big

[toddcuddParticipant]

Sorry to see him go too; I was optimistic about potential there.

That said – I wonder if AD has made firm plans yet…

[RichHParticipant]

Wow,forgot all about that. Does Doc want to go that way,if AD hasn’t ?

[toddcuddParticipant]

Well, that question is irrelevant now. I asked AD if he had made plans, got this back today.
