Some interesting grad transfer names.

Who you lookin at CLK? I really don't recognize any of these names besides the top guys who we won't get. Any guys on their you recognize or we have any kind of connection to or anything like that?

I thought spriggs was a nice player when we played UWM. I think this would be a great year to grab a grad transfer to bridge the experience gap at guard. Let's you bring the younger guys along more slowly

No need to bring Smith along slowly. He's basically a junior, and has been with the team a year already.

Saw on Fordham site that Maine transfer Isaac Vann has been contacted by Duquesne among others.

I still think there may be another scholarship opening up.  Ferry is pushing hard to also get PG Jordan Shepherd.  For those following, Thik Bol the 6'7" shot blocker (see recruiting thread) committed to S. Illinois and 6'7" Lorenzo Edwards visited St. Joes last week.

This is somewhat of a joke but it would be unbelievable if we got this guy. Consensus 4 star recruit, top 100 player. Maybe the big guys would pass on him because of the sex-tape.

Evan Daniels ‏@EvanDaniels   Graduate transfer Kellon Thomas has heard from Ball State, Purdue, Minnesota, Northwestern J'ville, IUPUI, W. Ill, Ga State, UIC & Duquesne

He is a 5'10" PG and was a starter for Kent State

Corey Evans ‏@coreyevans_10  Richmond, Old Dominion, and Duquesne are the first to inquire about Virginia Tech transfer big man Satchel Pierce 

DU recruited him out of Kiski Prep.

We should go after him hard. He would sit out this year and at least after the only center on our roster graduates, we would pretty much be guaranteed an upgrade at the position immediately.

Jon RothsteinVerified account ‏@JonRothstein  Drake transfer Kale Abrahamson told @CBSSports he's currently visiting Pepperdine. Will visit Duquesne next weekend and ASU on 4/22.

Looks like a LG clone statistically. 6-8 guy who shoots a lot of 3's. Had 41 points vs. Western Kentucky in the Florida tourney, and no points in some games. Very inconsistent as a RS Junior. Spent first two years at Northwestern, then transferred to Drake.

Duques102, besides being big, why would you go after this guy hard to take up 3 years on your team? He barely got off of the bench last year vs having some substantial minutes as a Freshman. Was he hurt? Did someone come in to take his minutes? Looks like he doesn't have much of an offensive game (scored double digits twice in his career), doesn't rebound well (career high is 7) and is a turnover machine. What am I missing?

He's reputed to be a headache as well. Pass!

Phoenix, I hear you, but I would still take a chance on him. Satchel was highly recruited at Kiski Prep by several major school.  He is a space eater at 7' and will have a year to work on his game.  I doubt however that Ferry will be able to get him or the kid from Drake.  There is heavy competition out there for big men ransfers.

Basing it off of the fact that we have 0 centers behind Lewis. 7 footers are hard to find. Like CLK said, he's at an acc school for a reason. The kid has talent and would probably be exponentially more polished than any prospect we could get out of high school. Didn't look at the numbers, I still look at the 000000 centers behind Lewis and 0000000 centers we have recruited. Sorry for the late response Phoenix

The Kent State graduate transfer Kellon Thomas that DU was recruiting committed to IUPUI.
