Saw a comment somewhere that new St. John's coach, Mike Anderson, is making good headway in talking Figueroa into returning to SJU.

He was at his press conference so I think he will stay.

That dude might put up better numbers than Sam and Stone combined.

Let's get him on the team and find out.

You'd think, but the press conference occurred before it came out that he was visiting Western Kentucky. Looks like he's definitely still thinking about leaving.

Let's give the staff credit for being active and trying to use all 13 scholarships.

I'll give credit when they actually use them.

2. TJ Holyfield (already visited) [Grad Transfer PF out of SFA]

6. Justice Sueing [Transfer F out of Cal] - Sit One / Play Two

Would love Nysier Brooks if he was immediately eligible.

Absolutely. A legit big man.

Obviously nobody knows for sure but perhaps some of these guys can get a waiver because their HC left.

Gotta hope that its the case, otherwise a sit 1 play 1 guys don't really excite me. I dont mind taking a transfer if we get them for 2 or 3 seasons, but only for them to play 1 it really is a waste of a scholarship in my opinion

I typically agree with the part in bold. Take that kid Occeus, I don't see the point in taking him at this juncture.

Agreed I thought Occeus was a grad transfer, but if he is sit 1 play 1 then no thanks.

Per NCAA transfer rules, Occeus will sit out the 2019–20 season, while Gresham is eligible to play right away due to his graduate status. There is no indication yet where either player will wind up, though Occeus in particular will likely draw attention from high-major programs.

Was snooping around the internet, and some NC State fans think he might graduate in June. Also the possibility that he gets a waiver since Cronin left.

https://www.backingthepack.com/nc-s...rooks-transfer-cincinnati-nc-state-basketball

NC State fans are probably morons, but I doubt L (or any other coach) would be after him as a sit 1 play 1. Doesn't really make sense from Brooks' perspective either, so I would expect him to be eligible for next year.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

I'll carve Jim's face into a piece of marble if he manages to come away with Brooks, Figueroa, and Enaruna.

Source: Cincinnati transfer Nysier Brooks will visit Miami next week and also plans to visit both Virginia Tech and LSU. Texas Tech is also in the mix.

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

I think this would be a bad move if he has to sit out one year to play one year. It is a good move if he comes as a grad transfer. I prefer grad transfers.

Holyfield has eliminated Miami as a destination. It probably makes sense with Keith Stone committing to Miami. They are very similar players.

If Holyfield is scared of Keith "I tore my ACL in 2019" Stone, wow.
