Gonzaga losing a transfer as well

[BroncoBot]

Wade goes to UVU.

We don't need him at BYU.

I knew wade's cousin. He told me that BYUs recruiting of wade was a major turnoff.

To hawk's points. He played in 26 (?) games as a freshman right off the mission? I think he has potential. Maybe he was going for big fish in small pond if he is going to UVU, and I can't blame him for that. Especially if he had a bad previous experience with BYU. As SNO pointed out,BYU has been taking some real head scratches as their guards these days.

You would know this better than I would, or maybe you can find out, but do any big ponds actually want him? As far as I know, and I don't know much about this kid at all, but from what I understand no one actually wanted or recruited him. Has that changed now?

No idea on those questions. I don't know wade, I met and knew his cousin shortly after he committed to Gonzaga, but I don't see him anymore.

This is pretty late in the game for transfers, as most schools I would think have all their scholarships set for the coming season, BYU included. Is he so good as to knock someone off scholarship only a couple of months before school starts? I guess they could ask him if he's interested in paying his own way for a year.

Huh. Didn't even get blocked.

Does that mean Gonzaga doesn't feel like he can hurt them?

I would assume so. Also that they're right.

Our last transfer (football, from Utah State) hasn't worked out so well.

[BroncoBot]

hope he comes in with a chip on this shoulder. He'll need it.

With the new transfer rule which goes into effect in October, blocking transfers, while still allowed, would look petty. I think most schools have already adjusted.
