good programs, maybe even one close to home

(how could it be legal to block a transfer? I would think that opens you up to litigation. Other students can't transfer where they want. They're considering rule changes that allow this by everyone all the time , which I don't favor)

and you don't play a lot of baseball where it's cold

Mark Smith transferring from Illinois - TheRoyalTiger MU - 3/5 12:52:14

FYI...No restrictions on his transfer(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:26:45

if we land Ramey I wonder if we'd even be interested at this - CoolBreeze22 MU - 3/5 14:28:58

Also, TJ said he wants to be a point guard - DevilsAdvocate MU - 3/5 14:30:19

That would not help IL ST Louis recruiting to to that(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 3/5 13:28:40

Consider Mizzou blocked - ERB KC - 3/5 13:24:54

Did Martin try to sign Smith? - MakeShift MU - 3/5 14:01:23

I'm not sure blocking schools is the issue. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:33:02

With better coaching I imagine he could realize his - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 14:12:32

Maybe the same can be said for Blake Harris as well.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 3/5 14:48:57

I think Harris was improving as the season went along. - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 15:07:21

What coaching does he need that he didn't get?(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:20:56

From what I've read it sounds like he was asked to - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 14:26:25

Frazier was the better player. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:30:30

not sure transfers can be blocked like LOIs(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 3/5 13:28:44

They can't be outright blocked - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 14:14:02

I think it is the other way around. As soon as they are - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 13:36:23

yes they can (nm) - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 3/5 13:32:09

one of the TB lawyers please explain how blocking is legit - Macgrantt MU - 3/5 13:28:38

Yes. Asked below, but even if a school says a kid is blocked - Cosmo MU

- 3/5 13:38:56

IIRC the student athlete then has to pay their own way - doughboy MU

- 3/5 13:45:53

Again, how is that enforceable? If the new school says - Cosmo MU

- 3/5 13:51:20

I suppose the NCAA could rule you're using an ineligible - doughboy MU

- 3/5 14:16:27

would think he'd prefer a SEC school with baseball and bball - Macgrantt MU - 3/5 13:18:07

Good. He had his chance to come here and passed... - mizzoumurfkc MU

- 3/5 13:14:06

He must want to play in March(nm) - Eggs MU - 3/5 13:01:57

He and MU would have been better off if he had selected MU, - MU-TULSA MU - 3/5 13:00:49

Yep, he's surely regretting that choice now. (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:02:43

Yeah Sue we heard you the first time(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 13:03:19

I think the "coaching like a raving lunatic" thing works - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 12:58:53

They can see how much Smith regrets choosing the Illini. (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:01:04

Best of luck to Mark. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 12:58:41

RE: Best of luck to Mark. - 90Tiger MU - 3/5 13:05:32

Ha ha. That's funny. (nm) - Lerxst MU

- 3/5 14:41:38

And, Smith was a better "prospect" than Harris. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:23:49

It's too bad he's not goings to stick it out there - BOILERTIGER MU

- 3/5 13:35:24

he doesn't like the coaching staff (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:38:02

RE: It's too bad he's not goings to stick it out there - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:36:34

That is because they have dip****s in their ear(nm) - DevilsAdvocate MU - 3/5 13:52:28

RE: That is because they have dip****s in their ear(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:06:59

Lol 90. Lol(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 3/5 13:19:48

opps... opps... opps... opps...(nm) - Eggs MU - 3/5 13:09:04

lol (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:07:51

yep, not many people thought Smith would suck this bad. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:07:04

I would be more worried by coaching staff is the problem(nm) - ajpe53 MU

- 3/5 13:18:47

How? They started him 19 games and - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:22:17

highly talented and recruited player regresses under - ajpe53 MU

- 3/5 13:23:49

What did they do wrong? - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:24:40

i don't know. i'm not at practice or in the locker room. - ajpe53 MU

- 3/5 13:28:36

Just saying he had plenty of opportunities - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:30:46

This is not only being wrong, but saying there's little to - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 13:16:02

The point is he was highly valued. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:19:33

I'm aware of what point you were trying to make. - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 13:33:24

You're missing it. We were discussing him as a prospect - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:35:18

Not really. Uncle John simply said he'd rather have Harris - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 13:40:38

Sigh - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:45:45

To early in the game to make that call. This happens to many - Uncle John MU

- 3/5 13:22:54

To make what call? - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:25:48

To make the call that he's a failed prospect - Mormad MU - 3/5 13:26:33

At no time did I say he was a failed prospect. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:29:26

Those coaches are wrong on kids all the time - Mormad MU - 3/5 13:19:29

Don't think anyone expected him to shoot so poorly(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 13:08:31

I actually am fine with poor shooting. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:09:49

That is also surprising, figured he'd be a bull on D and - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 14:13:25

poor coaching can have that effect on a player (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:09:02

I'd assume after sitting out a year he'd have a chance to be - CoolBreeze22 MU - 3/5 13:00:36

more bad pub for Underwood and the Illini (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 12:56:24

Serious question, Sue: you spent a lot of time trying to - Gary P. MU - 3/5 13:03:13

You and 3 or 4 others seem to be extremely obsessed with - myself MU - 3/5 13:21:43

So convincing! - Gary P. MU - 3/5 14:28:11

oh zounami. You have issues(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:26:11

Is that who "sue" is? If so, you're proving my point... - myself MU - 3/5 13:43:16

Why would you, a ku fan, create so many handles? - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:05:06

lol* - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:05:45

Probably will go to DePaul - jlbomega MU - 3/5 12:55:09

He should strongly consider a year in junior college. - zodiac6 JC - 3/5 12:59:31

Why in the world would he go to DePaul.(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 3/5 12:56:56

Wasn't that one of his final three? - Cosmo MU

- 3/5 12:58:13

Maybe Michigan St.?(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 12:59:34

That's right. I can't remember who I was thinking of - Cosmo MU

- 3/5 13:00:28

I do recall Depaul with someone, can't remember who though - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 13:01:28

Tyger Campbell? - doughboy MU

- 3/5 13:39:01

JT had interest in Depaul for a short time - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:12:49

This is right(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 14:46:13

Never underestimate the Dave Leitao attraction(nm) - Mormad MU - 3/5 13:34:55

I think that's right (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 3/5 13:07:03

SLU, I believe - MrBlueSky MU - 3/5 12:59:04

lol Depaul(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 12:58:11

If he hated losing at IU it would be worse there..nm - tigertix MU - 3/5 12:56:35

He probably ends up at SLU (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 3/5 12:54:50

Again, damn he really wants out(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 12:53:57

i think it is BS schools can block a transfer anywhere(nm) - ajpe53 MU

- 3/5 12:53:43

Correct. How is that enforceable anyway? - Cosmo MU

- 3/5 12:59:49

Its common to ban any team on your schedule but - asutiger ASU - 3/5 13:19:43

Agree 100%(nm) - TheRoyalTiger MU - 3/5 12:54:50

He should play at SWIC next year. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 3/5 12:54:46

Then he screws himself in StL metro.............nm - tigertix MU - 3/5 12:52:59
