Bears Lose A Transfer

[VUGrad1314]

I wonder if this will result in 4 star DePaul transfer Justin Roberts signing with Missouri State. Looks like some playing time at PG just opened up.

Would doubt it. Have a Texas Tech grad transfer coming in.

Still need a 5 to compete with Obi this year. Would imagine one goes there.

That shouldn't affect their pursuit of Roberts one bit unless Webster will be a part of the program for multiple years. Roberts is not a graduate transfer and is rherefore subject to the red transfer rule. If Webster is a normal one year graduate transfer he would play during Roberts redshirt year. This move would be about securing a longer term solution for the Bears at PG. As for their need at Center I don't think there's much left on the market for size especially as a grad transfer. Maybe Mats Stockman the guy who just left Minnesota. His numbers are very underwhelming but maybe he'd do better from a productivity and playing time standpoint in the MVC.

Gotcha. Just presumed that someone from DePaul to MSU was going to be a grad-transfer

Bears replace Lawrence with 6'6" Josh Hall from Nevada. Will sit one year and then play two.

This season might be a rebuilding year, but next season will not be. The Bears will be ready to go with Ridder, Hall, Tulio, Freeman being 3-4 star players and the Polish twins, Black, and others not far behind.

HCDF is building something big in Springfield.

[VUGrad1314]

He literally just decommitted from Nevada. How on Earth did this happen so fast? Has there ever been such a quick resolution to a transfer situation?

Nevada oversigned because of the NBA-in-limbo guys.

What’s encouraging about Hall is he really improved throughout the year.

Double digit points:
5 of first 27
6 of final 8 (including Texas, Cincinnati, & Loyola)

Josh Webster, from Texas Tech, confirmed.

Bears are releasing JUCO guard, Butler, from his commitment.

Really disappointed to lose Butler I think but HCDF is going after guys he wants

I don't understand this one. I guess you add Webster for a year and then use his scholarship right away for 2019. I guess I answered my own question.

Needed a PG this year badly.

Why are they releasing players if they still have open scholarships? Also one of the guys Ford released was a guard who was really coming on down the stretch. Very confusing. Should there be concern as to whether this will hurt Missouri State in future recruiting?

I think Ford wants his own guys and he thinks Webster fits his style of play better than Lawrence does.

I originally thought we could compete at the top of the conference this year but I really think Ford is planning on this being a rebuilding year and the following year is when we compete for conference titles.
