Are you sure you are not thinking of Antonio Reeves ?

You're right. We did offer D. Reeves about a year ago. He might still be a Saluki in a couple of years. We're bound to get a John A player one of these days.
There is an interesting D2 Grad Transfer still available. York Benjamin 6'8" PF from Oklahoma Christian University. Was a high school teammate of Jakolby Long at Mustang High School. Redshirted his Freshman year at D1 Texas A&M - Corpus Christi. He was known as a rim protector in high school averaging 4.1 blocks per game. It appears that part of his game did not translate to the college game very well. He could provide an inside presence for the Saluki scout team.

I hate to keep doing this but... Another interesting D2 Grad Transfer has entered the transfer portal today. Joey St. Pierre, 6'9 Center from Wisconsin-Parkside. He redshirted his Freshman year at UTEP, then transferred back to the Chicago area to be closer to his family. He played high school ball at Richmond-Burton Community High School at Spring Grove, IL. He played AAU ball for the Illinois Wolves. He averaged 9 points and 5 rebounds last season. He also tallied 58 blocks for an average of 2.1 per game.

I am no expert but it appears that St Pierre will be a junior and I can find nothing to indicate that he will be a grad transfer. He basically red shirted his freshman year when he left UTEP for personal reasons before the start of the season. Would he have to sit out another year? 6-10 270 lbs does make him interesting.

Yes AnnaBob you are correct. I misread the info I was looking at. St. Pierre will be a Junior. And I am in no way an expert either. My mistake.
I wasn't sure myself. I would be interested to know if this kid would have to sit out a transfer year after having already sat out a red shirt year. Seems a little excessive especially when he come from division 2. That may not make any difference?
Not sure which recruiting thread this should go in, but I ran across an interview with former Dartmouth forward Chris Knight (recently entered the transfer portal) on makingthemadness.com. In the final question asked about schools who have contacted him, it mentions Southern.

I believe the point of DR222's post was simply to show that things can still happen this late in the game, as they did last year with Jeremic.

Ahh... gotcha. I thought it was just a simple search issue or something. It's all good! Thanks.

I think you got thrown off by the person who responded--don't know what he was thinking! 😛
