Verbal Commits 2020 list of transfers is now up, the link is down below. There are a few players who have also announced that they will transfer within the past few days, in addition to Croswell from La Salle. 

Good question Hugh, Croswell's decision to transfer now is unusual because he was a key player for La Salle and appeared to be in good standing on the team. Also, there are only a handful of games left in the season for La Salle, why announce a transfer at this point?. 

I'm going to include transfer speculation about local players here too. Villanova sophomore guard Brandon Slater who attended Paul VI, played for Team Takeover(I think) and was a top 75-100 player, is now buried on Villanova's bench and seems like a guy who may transfer at the end of the year. Looking at his lack of playing time at Villanova and being constantly recruited over, I think GW could be a landing spot for him if he wants to come back to the D.C.area to play.

I guess we still need to wait a couple of weeks before seeing Mezie and Toro's names on the list.  (No I haven't heard anything,  but I cannot imagine any reason why either would want to stay).   Forecasting those 2 players moving is easy.    I think Juice stays, given he is a senior who would have to sit if he left.

Juice will graduate no?  I'd be surprised if Javi stays.  I thought Maceo was a goner when Mazzula left, but it'll be hard for him to get as many shots up anywhere else.

It's not the expected departures that sting, it's a surprise transfers.  Battle or JNJ or Paar will be a killer.

Good finds.
We may well regret Toro, who if he graduates, will have plenty of opportunities.
We can use a graduate student or two ourselves. 
Though we will soon have months to debate this.

I've been watching some of the Maryland-Rutgers game and we have another potential transfer target playing(or barely playing) for Maryland..sophomore Ricky Lindo. He attended Wilson HS in D.C., GW offered him during his JR year. R.Lindo was a fairly unheralded player until a growth spurt during his sophomore or junior year and GW was one of the biggest offers he got initially. He's also buried on the bench(like Brandon Slater at Villanova) and may transfer or be forced out after Maryland's season ends.

Right now we are over by one scholarship for next year so someone is definitely leaving. I would assume since we are very much still recruiting 2020s someone else (or more than 2 players) will be leaving. I think that's a very real assumption. However, I don't think its fair to the players, the team or the coaches to be speculating as to exactly who those players may be with the season not yet completed. We can all see who plays and who doesn't. I don't think it will take a rocket scientist to figure out who the likely candidates. However, we still have games to play. So I would caution on the speculation for a week or so.

If the school is promoting Toro as part of senior night, even though he could stay another year, I think it's fair to speculate about him. 

Devin Gage, 6-2, PG.  Grad Transfer from DePaul.  Played in 84 games in his career.  Started all 33 games for DePaul last year where he averaged 9.1 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 3.9 apg.  Had season ending injuries twice in his career.  He would be a great replacement for Armel at the 1.

Cornell offered Kobe Webster out of HS, so he must have good grades.  He will have 2 years of eligibility.  Can only help us if we go after him.

Fun thinking what could have been. Luke Garza and GW. Wishful thinking!
