    2013 Transfer Thread

    It's about that time of year where players will start looking around, 5th year guys will move on to teams to pursue a degree not offered by their current school, etc.

    Illinois has 3 players transferring out as of today:

    Mike Shaw PF 6'8 215 who will be a Junior

    Ibby Djimde PF/C 6'8 245 who will be a Junior

    Devin Langford G/F 6'7 200 who already redshirted so he'll be a Junior as well when hes eligible to play.

    All 3 players were Weber recruits that don't seem to fit in Groce's system or have been recruited over. Shaw was the highest rated of the bunch but hasn't developed as expected, I think he could be a starting caliber player in the MVC or another smaller conference. Djimde wasn't highly rated and hasn't played basketball very long but Illinois signed him because he was a good rebounder, just hasn't been able to crack the rotation, his other finalist out of prep school was Old Dominion and he probably would have been a better fit there but we needed a big so had to reach a bit. Lastly comes Langford who I still think has a lot of upside but he just had too many guys in front of him and now has a couple pretty highly regarded freshmen and a transfer blocking his way again next year, I think a team could be getting a steal in him though, I think he could blow up on the mid major level but wouldn't be shocked if he went to a bigger school closer to home if they still had interest like they did out of high school (from Alabama and had offers from Georgia and Auburn out of high school).

    Favorite Teams:
    NCAA- University of Illinois Fighting Illini
    NFL- Cleveland Browns
    MLB- St. Louis Cardinals
    NBA- Boston Celtics
    NHL- Chicago Blackhawks

    Re: 2013 Transfer Thread

    I am interested in seeing if there is another big wave of transfers like last year. It seemed like last year had as many transfers as ever.

    There are rumors going around that Rodney Purvis may transfer from NC State.

      I haven't follow Purvis but why would he want to transfer?

      UK will likely have a transfer or two. Most likely Harrow, maybe someone else like Jon Hood (not sure on that one but he should as he can be a solid player at a mid major.

        Geez, 2 seconds after posting this I see Jeff Goodman tweeted that Harrow is transferring to GA State.

            UConn seems to be the school that keeps popping up for Purvis.

              I'm not holding my breath but it would be great to land Purvis, it'd be a sign that us not being in the BE anymore won't completely kill our ability to land good prospects. We were his #2 coming out of HS and apparently it was very close between us and NC State.

                RT @jwgiglio: Rodney Purvis has decided to transfer from N.C. State, the school is expected to make the announcement this afternoon

                  Wow Gottfried is about to lose his entire starting 5 and who knows if Warren goes to the NBA just to jump ship. From preseason ACC favorites to losing your top 5 or 6 players, wow.

                    SMH, Rodney Purvis is gone. So much for the stacked team. Next year is going to suck, I'm afraid. This year's team had so much talent and only got to the round of 32 (lack of depth was a killer, though). Be lucky to even get to the Dance next year...

                        Words can't express how glad I am that Duke got Rodney Hood as a transfer instead of Zeigler.

                          Mike Shaw to Bradley, I think that's a good fit for him.

                          Other schools that talked to him were DePaul, Tennessee, Illinois State, and UIC.

                              With all the new recruits coming in I wonder how many players from SMU will transfer.
