Salukis Land another...

And another, Malik William from Clemson. Top 200 player in HS, Injured all of last year. Forward, 6-8, 226 lbs. Bryan Mullins & Co. are getting it done.

He played 4.4 minutes a game as a freshman at Clemson and averaged 1.5 ppg and 1.5 rpg.

I don't know how good this kid will be, but I won't put a ton of stock in him playing limited minutes as a true freshman in the ACC. Let's see how he performs as an older player in the Valley.

And I would agree with Dawgbit's premise ... Mullins has pulled in six promising recruits in a spring signing period, after only getting the job in March. We'll see how they pan out, but it's been an impressive start for him, recruiting-wise, and rebuilding the roster on the fly after not being left much to work with.

I assume he'll have to sit out this year? Wonder if he'll get a sixth year of eligibility then.

Assuming he sits, he'll be the age of a senior in his second year of ball.

Beat me to it Dawgbit. This kid could really make a difference in the Valley, if he can stay healthy.
Was a ESPN 4 star, Rivals 3 out of high school. Mullins continues to get work done. I'm actually excited about Saluki hoops again!

Sounds like they are going to appeal for immediate eligibility, but I'll assume he has to sit a year until proven otherwise. He'd be the second sit-out transfer on the roster along with Ben Harvey from Eastern Illinois. Depth could be an issue next year, and it looks like Southern's bench will be freshman-heavy.

MVC fans never cease to amaze me. They hate being "disrespected" by the BCS level schools and feel MVC schools are closer to them in talent than people think.

Yet when a BCS transfer comes to an MVC school after being an end of bench guy we are suddenly all fired up about how good he is going to be in the Valley.

I have no idea if Bryan Mullins will do well or not. But every single coach SIU would have hired would also be getting players at this stage and "getting work done".

This might be the best post in the history of this board...

Have there been any FBS transfers to Valley schools in recent years that have been great? I'm sure there have, but none are coming mind. Brady Ellingson from Iowa was solid at Drake last year, but he was mostly a shooter. Seems like more have transferred out and had success at the power 5 schools than vice-versa.

Clayton Custer is the only one I can think of

Tulio DaSilva came from the AAC , so not quite P-5 . Bears had Ridder and Sycamores had Neece both from the Big East, and Sycs also had Williams from the Big Ten. Bears will have DaSilva plus Hall { Nevada} and West [West Virginia] while Bradley a player from LSU. Evansville has the Kansas/Arizona player Cunliffe and a kid from Pittsburgh[ Illegomah], Valpo had Evelyn from Nebraska and Frazekas from the Big East and now has a kid from the Big East[ Gordon] and one from the A-10[ Robinson] to go with Frazekas. Loyola had the Kansas player a couple years back. Those are the ones from upper level conferences, but there are a number from conferences below the MVC as well.

In my estimation, the league has won the transfer game overall, with some teams obviously being more active than others.

So the answer is "no" ?
