His career overview :
- played in 60 games with 1 start.
- averaged 9.5 minutes/game
- 2.83 ppg / 1.86 rebs / 44% Fg / 19% 3fg

Other than another practice body, I'm not sure what he actually brings. I guess he could do the Tyler Hamilton role in providing leadership and gritty play. He won't help in scoring on a team in need of guys to fill the scoring void.

Perhaps a true difference making grad is beyond our reach. They seem to get gobbled up by the big boys.

I agree 100%. We have a half dozen players at his position/size. We don't need practice bodies. The only way I do this is if it is like Chris Clark and he's a walk on.

Rivals analyst Corey Evans, in a tweet when Carter committed to Dartmouth, called Carter a stretch-4:

“ Dartmouth got itself a steal! Ian Carter can play. Stretch 4 with good stroke and activity levels at the rim. Great get for the Ivy program”

I'd say his high school accolades far exceeded his actual production at the college level. A guy who played sparingly and produced minimally is not a steal or a great get for a school looking for a productive graduate transfer.

Cole Harrison averaged 1 ppg and 1.3 rpg his last year at Dartmouth before transferring here. I wouldn't be shocked if we go after Carter as a scholarship player, though I agree he doesn't super seem to fill a need at 6'7.

He was 6'11 and still only averaged a couple pts and rebounds a game for us. I say we should learn from that.

Harrison was a great teammate and good guy. He didn't bring a lot, but served the role he was brought in for--> a big body that could bring leadership and spell Nate. What exactly would Carter's role be? I'm guessing he must be viewed as a solid SF defender. Something there is a lot of in the CAA--big guards and forwards that can score. Otherwise, wouldn't we be better served splitting the SF minutes between the freshmen and Stone?

I find it interesting that besides what appears to be passing interest in Gasperini that the other players targeted are mostly stretch 4s. Either Fischer plans on playing a smaller lineup (isn't that the trend?) or he is confident in Harvey at the five and thus can put the grad transfer at the four and slide Blair to fill a hole at the three (if the Tribe were to get Betley instead he would play the three and Blair could stay at the four). Or all of the above - lots of options when the grad transfer isn't locked down low.

Oh I tend to agree. I was more just saying that him being a scholarship player isn't completely out of the question. It goes back to what I was saying on the page before - it's only a 1 year rental, so schools are far more willing to take a flyer on guys as grad transfers.

And I guess it does work out sometimes, Hamilton only averaged 1.8 points, 1.3 rebounds, and .7 assists his last year at Penn. And while his numbers here don't jump off the page, he was a good defender and certainly contributed for us.

Not to be a pessimist, but I don't think we have a shot at Betley or any grads that were major producers at their prior stop. It appears if you are grad transfer eligible mid major player and put up solid numbers, you will be recruited hard by power conference teams. We have to hope we strike gold on an overlooked injured player or a P5 player looking to continue their career. Otherwise we are bringing in placeholders that do little to lift the program.

I think Fischer knows he fell into a honey hole this year with the two bigs. I don't see any real reason to bring in a lot of grad transfers.

I will not be at all surprised if his starting lineup this year looks something like:

Covington, Loewe, Milkreit, Blair, Wight. Substitute Kochera, Scott or Harvey, but that looks like the rotation with Ayesa as your sharp shooter.

I don't see Williams or Hermanovskis getting much playing time.

The fact that Hamilton started this year over Scott and Blair is telling to me.

2 freshmen and a redshirt freshman in the starting lineup seems unlikely to me. I would expect Scott, Loewe, Ayesa, Blair, Harvey/Wight, with Hermanovskis & Covington (in that order) first off the bench for guards, Milkereit, Kochera, & Stone in some order at forward, with the option of going small with Blair at the 5. I wouldn't be surprised to see Milkereit or Kochera redshirt to help ease the glut of forwards we have.

Hamilton didn't start over Blair this year, Blair was in a rotation with AVV & Knight. As for Scott, I don't think he ever really got over his foot injury. If he recovers completely, he'll start like he did at the start of this season.

Rising JR 6’9 Ian Steere is transferring from St John’s to UNCW. He initially was at NC State (where the new UNCW HC was an assistant) though he decided to transfer after the first game of the season. He appeared in six games for St John’s, his time limited by having to sit out the first semester per transfer rules and later by a suspension.

So that's kind of a Matt Milon kind of move?

I'm confused. Is this a grad transfer or will he have to sit another year. Can you transfer twice as an undergrad? I can't remember what the current transfer rules are.

Lol and that video said he committed to Creighton. I'm not worried about this anymore. He'll likely be a Buckeye by mid-May.

He also was suspended indefinitely by St John's for "fail[ing] to meet standards expected from a member of our basketball program"

I think it's going to be a tear down. We have to start playing for the 2021 season and onward. This is first real recruiting class (done in a normal way). I expect the recruits to play and the hold overs from Shaver phase out. Loewe and Blair will play.

And, I don't have a problem with that at all as Dane will need 3 classes to get sorted. I won't expect much during that time but hope we catch lightning in a bottle. Our CAA CoY should be able to pull a couple rabbits out of his hat.

That would be wonderful.

Penn F Kuba Mijakowski is grad transferring. Didn't play last year to prepare for a transfer. Only averaged 2.1 points his junior year, but did shoot just about 40% from 3. Tyler Hamilton seems to be friends with him, no idea if there's any W&M interest.
