clemente and kelly didn't quit after 10 games.  that is a bizarre/stupid decision that speaks to either being stupid, selfish or uncompetitive.


that aside, kelly's laziness might be worth the risk because of his upside (too early to tell really).  clemente's situ doesn't compare.  he smokes, bfd.  no on-court risk, plus he was a proven high-major contributor.

maymon has done nothing to indicate he's worth the risk.  lol @ comparing him to sutton/samuels.  he isn't that kind of player at all.  not athletic, not a defender.  he's an undersized, skilled, strong post scorer, working on a jumpshot.  that might be valuable to some teams, but it doesn't translate to a top 50 recruit.  he should have been about 50 spots lower.  i don't think he's worth the risk/trouble.

and i love transfers in the abstract.

Don't give a sh8t about "issues" he might have, but where do you get that he isn't "athletic"?  Even if he's a borderline top 100, all the eval's point to him being a Frank Martin type of player, and worthy of a scholarship, especially if we can get 3-1/2 years out of him.

Also, his biggest issue seems to be his dad - moving 500 miles away would probably help him a lot.

Fonton enrolls at USC.  Guess we pretty much knew this was coming but now it's official.

re. athleticism.  from message boards, recruit evals.  never saw him play.  nor seen video.


agree on putting some physical distance between him and his father.

I need the cliff's notes on this one fellas, do we want Maymon badly, medium, meh, or not?  TIA.

I'd guess our interest would be above medium.  Bringing him in now means we'd offer and try to get him in now so he can start practicing with us now and be elgible next January.  I think if you can do that with a Top 100 HS kid and knowing Frank's history with transfers, its a somewhat high priority.  The good thing if he decides not to come, it doesn't really hurt us and we can still look for someone and sign them in April.

Personally I don't really want to deal with the daddy issues but I am good with giving him a shot if the coaches want him.
In other words...pretty much meh.

I say medium badly.  It's not like Frank has a good history of signing guys in April/May.  (that aren't D1 transfers, anyway).

[steve dave]

I want him a lot.  Who else are we going to add to this class?  If not this guy then another Andre Gilbert/Buchi Awaji waste of a scholarship player.

HBBIQ post.  I change my answer to match steve dave's.

I like high quality transfers.  It gives them a year to buy in or quit before getting dumped on a BigXII court.

Will we be able to run off a guy that's already transferred from a D1 school as easily as Gilbert/Buchi if he sucks?

We were Awaji's third school (2nd D1), so yeah.

You think it likely Maymon can get the grad student waiver thingy?

Kitchen really is cleaning up now.  I didn't know anyone who still covered ksu knew they had to cover recruiting too.

meh, he isn't the only guy that will transfer this year.  and kstate isn't always going to strike out on jucos.


i like him a little more now than yesterday though.

[ksu_FAN]

Its the only guy transfering right now though...

big part of the reason i don't like him.

When I go to do something important I tend to look around and see if anyone else is doing it to make sure I'm not some kind of asshole.  I usually am an asshole, but the point still stands. 

[Rick Daris]

it kinda sounds like he's a hoskinsesque type player. what's his dad going to do when frank only lets him play around the perimeter and jack 3's for the first 10 games of each season? dunno. love transfers though. love them.
