He is considering BC. And he is reportedly a very strong student, so can't rule out another Boston area destination.

If he went to BC, he would be in Heckmann's graduating class. They are only going to be getting better in the next few years. But, that would make it 10 players graduating in 2015...

Not going to lie, I bet hes going to BC, while I know all these guys are Mass guys in Oriakhi and Smot, we are far west of the state, and a lot of these kids probably dont even associate that area with Mass, and honestly thats fine because I like the guys we have. So if he views BC as a better instituion that is his opinion, just hope he doesn't mind losing to the state school each year hes at BC.

Thank you for sighting a source. I am wondering how others on here have posted information without a source? I have seen it a few times in all 3 threads for the current players transfering. It seems a little strange...thoughts?

If he transfers here, he'll be just in time to watch the football team take down his ex-school.

Wonder if he's friends with that running back that just transferred here from Michigan?

No better place for him to be able to shoot the three than at UMass!!! Any players(regardless of size) that like to play uptempo and have the freedom to shoot the open three has to love the idea of playing for DK!!

This guy would be the perfect fit after TV graduates. Along with Chaz, Jesse, and Put, we'd have four guys who potentially can hover around 40% from outside. Throw in Cady who can also shoot, and we would be a pretty tough team to match up with in terms of length and shooting ability. I know Evan said he wants to be more of a 3, but as mentioned earlier, if he could see how TV has been used this year, I would think he would be excited about the opportunity to be a part of something special.

What this team has shown to recruits/transfers is that they have the ability to show all their skills, ball handling, passing, shooting, defense, athleticism regardless of what position they are playing on this team. It doesn't matter what position you play, every player on the floor shoots 3's, rebounds, handles the ball and plays defense.

Hopefully what potential future Minutemen now clearly see is you can come to the U, play at the highest level of basketball, improve your game and get a great education at a top academic institution in the #1 college town in America.

He's an unusual player at 6'9", 235 lbs. That's about Sean's size. He took 185 shots last year and 92 were from 3. How many players that tall take 50% of their shots from 3 and make 43.5% of them. He made 53% of his other shots and shot 78% from the free throw line. He averaged almost 5 rebounds a game in 21 minutes. I have never seen him play so I have no idea if he can play down low or play defense against a big man. Since he's somewhat local, has anyone seen him?
