2019 Offseason Transfer Megathread

Even assuming you are right that he would have wanted a bigger role, is that really important? I am sure there have been a lot of Duke players over the years that have wanted a bigger role than Coach K gave them. The real issue is how they responded, and how Derryck would have responded, to the role they got. In Derryck’s case, we know some family members did not respond all that well. But it’s harder to know how Derryck would have responded given more time at Duke to grow and learn.

The quotes from his family were surreal. The uncle, as I remember, was complaining about the number of plays Duke ran for Derryck in comparison to the number Providence ran for some senior All-American.

Stuff happens -- sorry for Derryck.

Chris Beard’s graduate transfer pipeline continues.

Chris Clarke, a graduate transfer from Virginia Tech, has committed to Texas Tech.

The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 8.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game during the 2018-19 season.

He should be a good pickup for Texas Tech -- Clarke played hard/aggressively, so should fit right into Beard's defensive scheme.

As long as he doesn't go to UNC, and that's unlikely, I wish the kid well.

You’re okay with him potentially strengthening one of our other rivals like UVA, Florida State, NC State, Syracuse, Louisville, Notre Dame, etc.?? Personally, I want Duke to beat those schools almost as badly as UNC.

Wait, what’s a “rival” again?

Thornton did respond, by leaving Duke. Am I missing something?

Umm...a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.

That definition leaves out the part about the closer the rival the more clarity around who is THE rival.

Sam, who has one year of eligibility left, heads to UVa, while Joey, who has two years left, goes to MSU.

Doesn’t appear the Thornton will return to the ACC unless you count BC. The Zags have a visit scheduled and

He's already gone on a visit to Boston College and is set to come to Spokane. Possible future visits to St. John's, Auburn and Texas Tech are also on the table as well for the graduate transfer. All have a need for a point guard,

Two transfers, probably low impact for the basketball landscape but high impact for their destination!

Rising junior Jerald Gillens-Butler is transferring from Butler to Elon. He'll sit out this coming season and then have two years of eligibility remaining. Was a 3/4-star wing prospect with an offer from Virginia Tech (among some other mid-majors). Does not appear he could crack the rotation at Butler.

Another wing, Marcus Sheffield, is leaving Stanfard to join Elon as a grad transfer, eligible immediately with one season remaining. Served a reserve role for Stanford with a few breakout games (35 points against ASU, 18 points against UCLA). Had a littany of P5 and high-mid-major offers.

Well, kinda close to Canada with MSU so will that make one a Hoser and the other a Hooser now? Imagine if there was a 3rd brother and he transferred to IU.

(I'm leaving now .)

Looks like Calipari's son is transferring from UK. That should be awkward.

Please tell me that's not happening to make room for Blackshear.

He wasn’t on scholarship, so nope, not related.

Would be great theatre if he walks on at Duke😏

Assuming we had the room, I'd give him a scholarship just for trolling purposes.

Memphis might be even better.
