For those saying this is desperation recruiting,I hope you have to eat those words.
The Grad Transfer Thread
- Thread starter Steat
- Start date
Plays in my son’s conference. Phenomenal athlete dunks everything playing well above the rim, but doesn’t go right and jumper is inconsistent but much improved from last year. Still a work in progress. Played out of position in school ball due to lack of ball handlers. Haven’t seen him on aau circuit.
My first inclination is that he wasn't able to get in to UNC. No facts, just my first thought...
I do not think we here will now have any impact on this young man's future. Good luck to him...
Grad transfer has scheduled a visit to Carolina for the last weekend in April. Down to Notre Dame,Michigan and Carolina.
Reading a little bit from another site and he has ND written all over him. He Just LOVED his visit there and as he said ND checked ALL the boxes he was interested in and the KEY It is close to his home in Illinois he is a Midwestern kid and I doubt he ends up at Carolina..JMHO
When it comes to our recruiting nothing will surprise me.
He does look like a ND kid but man I’d love to have him, Utomi and Cole Anthony.
Googling before going to sleep. Jake Toolson was the WAC player of the year. 6'5" shooting guard.. 54% from the field and 86% from the line. Will be a grad transfer. Nephew of Danny Ainge. No mention of UNC. Schools listed include BYU, Utah State, Arizona State and Virginia. Transferring from Utah Valley because his coach got the BYU job
He said he plans to make a decision before May 11th, so if we can snag him, it goes a long way for luring Cole. Assuming he doesn't pull a Cole, himself.
To be fair, that was his first and only visit so far. And he has some pretty good things to say about us, too.

You have seen more of him than I have, I am thinking a version of Kenny Williams, elite defender in time but streaky shooter, a take if we can get him IMO.
Kid is doing what he should do, testing the water to see if he would fall in this draft, still keeping his ability to play college ball. He will be able to handle the admissions but will go in to the summer before that can be finished so that he would be able to get in to UNC. IMO, good move by the kid!
I don't see Roy waiting around on him though. He needs to get the roster filled out.
Kid can ball. Didnt realize Tony Shaver was his HC at William and Mary. Hopefully they still talk, it couldn't hurt having a UNC guy helping out.
Um, David, "a better jump shooter than Theo" isn't the most glowing of endorsements.
Looks okay in the video.

would this be like getting a 4 star high school kid? He is a double digit scorer for us right now?
I expect we'll have room for him. If not, that means we already got a couple of our other targets, so it's all good.
He is the Number 1 ranked transfer so It would be the equivalent to getting a 5 star freshmen if he is landed.. On this team with these departures he could average 15 a game..
I think the first 5 top transfers are like getting 5 star high school guys Pierce would be close also..
10-20 4 star, 20-30 3 star..
10-20 4 star, 20-30 3 star..
He is ranked 27th in espn Transfer list And he does fill a need with great shooting..
introducing me to this guy is better than half the Topics we have up now Dadika...
I'm sure Roy would give him a spot if we still have one. I meant that I doubt Roy holds one for him.
Right. We'd like him but we have other prospects we also like and (probably) no more than 2 scholarships to give.
So here's the question.... Would you rather spend the scholarship on Harris (or someone like him) or on one of the grad transfers we are looking at - or save it for the 2020 class?
4* combo guard who fills an immediate need and is a 4 year player. We absolutely can't pass on a player like that at this point.
