Jeff Goodman is now reporting that Isaac White will graduate a year early and thus will be immediately eligible: https://twitter.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1239578211685675009
 

I thought White was a freshman.  Clearly I was wrong. When I watched him a few times he seemed talented but raw (and a good shooter).  He’s probably less attractive to a bcs as a one year rental, or would he have two years?

3/16 Updates

Cameron Parker (Sacred Heart) - interest from St. Bonaventure, Appalachian State, and Montana State.

Sam Sessoms (Binghamton) - interest from Old Dominion.

Matthew Moyer (Vanderbilt) - interest from Appalachian State and Hartford.

Tahj Eaddy (Santa Clara) - picked up offers from Georgia Tech, USC, Wichita State, and DePaul today. Now also receiving interest from UConn (his home state school), San Diego State, Kent State, St. John's, St. Bonaventure, Montana State, Northwestern, and Georgetown. I'm honestly not understanding why Eaddy is such a hot commodity on the transfer market currently but I'd say the odds we land him are very long at this point.

Brendan Barry (Dartmouth) - interest from Appalachian State.

Isaac White (Stanford) - interest from Eastern Michigan, UTEP, and Colorado State.

Ryan Murphy (Pittsburgh) - interest from Cincinnati, BYU, Utah State, Boise State, Minnesota, East Carolina, Southern Illinois, and South Carolina State.

A new name to the interest list:

Tomas Murphy (Northeastern) - Stats: 9.3 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 1.5 apg (played only 4 games due to ankle injury). Immediately Eligible.
Heard From: Albany, Toledo, Liberty, Lipscomb, UC Riverside, San Diego, Colorado State, Illinois State, Stony Brook

I'd say we are pursuing Moyer the hardest, followed by Ryan Murphy although the latter doesn't seem likely interested or likely to come here. White would have one year of eligibility as of now. I watched a number of Columbia games this season. The number of close games the Lions lost was amazing. It didn't help that they lost Adlesh (USC) and Tapé last offseason, but Mike Smith was practically a one-man wrecking crew. I would say his height probably means JC wouldn't consider him but could be wrong.
 

Another look at the mess of GW basketball under Lonergan, MoJo, Nero and Knapp.

I remember someone talking about Marfo and class not being a very good recruiting class.
Amazing what good coaching can do for development. It's a shame we wasted his time and now have to watch him play for a BCS team - I just hope it's not Maryland or Georgetown.

Actually if memory serves, we were the number #2 recruiting class in the A10 that year (behind only UMass). I think the board had concerns over Marfo because he was similarly ranked to Matt Cimino (who did not pan out), but otherwise it was a heralded class. Others deemed it similar in quality to Lonergan's first class of recruits which did pretty well for itself.

Also, that summer in Japan, Marfo started I believe all but one of the games under ML, with Smith getting the second most minutes at center/power forward behind a Marfo/Cavanagh starting tandem.

More on Moyer.  Odd since he's a rebound-only guy with worse stats than AT

.Paul Biancardi@PaulBiancardi Vanderbilt grad transfer Matt Moyer tells Espn that he is looking at Oregon State, Dayton, George Washington, Kent State, Duquesne & Cal Poly. He is looking to take a few official visits when time is allowed. @matthewmoyer13

Massachusetts G Keon Clergeot (RS JR) is leaving the program. Grad transfer w/one year to play.

Good get for Umass.  I think he’s better than his stats (or potentially better, after not too much usage on a good team as a freshman).


Jordan Bruner from Yale entered the portal.  I think immediately eligible.  He’s an excellent de defensive rebounder/shot blocker who can really pass and has skill (hit 31 threes, though only at 31%, but also shot over 50% inside the arc)

He’ll probably go BCS, but I would take a one year Forward if his caliber in a heartbeat, even if our biggest need remains PG.  And we’ve had good success before with Ivy League transfers who want a strong grad degree in a good basketball league
