It seems like both will go the D2 route.  I wish them the best.

By the way the list is not complete..does not show Micah Mason or PJ.

I counted 11 players over 6'8" on the list.  I don't see Micah Mason on the list?  Anyway, I'm surpised about Abele.  I thought Coach Rhodes had made some progress with him.

I am surprised by Abele as well since he will be a senior.  Do we bring in a 5th year transfer to even the classes? 

This guy is a Junior but is able to play right away.  Might give us a boost inside.  There are some interesting names on the list.

Matthew Steinbrink‏@MattSteinbrink2hJust spoke to Jon Severe. Outside of announcing on May 22nd, he knows of no other plans at this time. All schools are even

Does not seem to be a hint from Severe as to which way he is leaning.  So here is the question.  Unless we have another transfer we only have one more ship left.  If you are coach Ferry do you wait for a decision on Severe?  A lot of major competition, but if DU can land him he can lead us to the promise land.  If we wait and don't get him we can either bank the scholarship, get a 1-year eligible if available, or get a summer surprise.  Hard spot for the coaches.

Why are many of those transfering players listed as :can play immediately? When we have Manson (not  listed) but one would think transfering for a real medical problem being a question mark for next year?

 
As I understand the rule, the NCAA permits permits players who have earned enough credits to graduate and still have remaining eligibility (players get 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility) they can transfer to another school for graduate programs without sitting out a year.  There may be more to this rule I am not sure.  There are other exceptions including hardship exceptions that allow players to transfer without sitting a year.  A couple of years ago a guy (he was from Pittsburgh but forget his name) applied for and was granted an exception to transfer from New Mexico because he wanted to be closer to his daughter.  He went to Seaton Hall.  Go figure.  I am not certain but I think if Mason wanted to apply for a hardship exception he would certainly make a better case than the one above.

Mason doesn't qualify for a med hardship. Apparently his condition is alleviated with a proper diet.

CLK, I can't honestly believe that Datt and Pantophlet will be back. They're going to be juniors, they're going to be pinned to the bench. Then what? Transfer out next year with the clock winding down to zero? I suspect they're gone. With Abele, I think there is plenty of roster room for Severe, a PG, and a project space-eating center. I hope Jerry stays so that we can have a solid two-player recruiting class next year, which along with Micah Mason gives us a nice shot in the arm for 2014-15.

CLK  - The transfer's name is Herb Pope just in case anybody wants to look into more details about his case.

It may be beneficial for Micah to sit a year. I am happy to have him in years 3,4, and 5 of Ferry's tenure. This is when things should start to get interesting. Sorry but I can't leave the Panto thing alone. I believe he has more upside than he has shown so far. We will see.

Charles?

Great minds think alike. We did play a sort of helter skelter style of ball under RE.
