Yes, you pretty much have to pull data from across the Rivals network for the modeling to be somewhat realistic.
Impact Transfer
- Thread starter spider23
- Start date
Bob McCurdy - led the nation in scoring as a Spider - 1974 - 1975 .
Played at Richmond 2 years and scored 1347 points.................
He never saw the floor at all, right? He was before my time, but as I recall he showed up at UR mid-semester and had to enroll in Continuing Studies (University College) for the remainder of that semester before enrolling full-time. He then had to sit a year under transfer rules, but before that was up he was academically disqualified by UR.
Gary Rich from Ohio State was one if not the best enforcer we ever had - could foul out in a little over 5 minutes - 7 feet and 320 pounds - may be the only former Spider basketball player to become a professional wrestler - had quite an impact.................
stats say he only played in 14 games over 2 season, so not sure how he could have much impact. scored 8 points.

Milton Bell was a heck of a High School super star in Richmond in a top conference and at 6'7 would have added some
firepower for the Spiders.
Sounds about right. His first week on campus, he had an infamous interview with the Collegian. He was quoted as saying that he came to Richmond from Georgetown for the easy academics. Never played in a game. Point was that Tarrant was constantly on the prowl for superior talent.
Found the Collegian article about his dismissal. It mentions his earlier comments about easy academics...they were in an RTD article.

If you ever took a charge from him, I feel your opinion of his “impact” would change...
Ha, I guess my memory fails, but I do think at the time he transferred in he also did an interview with the Collegian. I knew the author in your link, good guy.
lol. yes ... large dude. I'd play basketball with him. Couldn't pay me to get in the ring with him, though.
Also found a Collegian article where Bell apologized for his academics comments to the RTD...lol.

Without revealing too much from my insider, the potential grad transfer people might be referring doesn’t appear to be more than a role player.
Trying not to be too negative but he comes from a lower level conference and wasn’t a starter. Looks like a good shooter, academics not an issue, but does not appear to be very athletic and when you are not a starter as a Sr playing in that conference then we shouldn’t expect much.

What position does he play? Did his team play in the post season (NCAAs or NIT)? Did he play starter minutes (20+ per game)?
Thank you for this information, I was asking but no one was telling. Good stuff. Sounds like an experienced Wojcik type possibly?
If it is a guy like Noah Yates from Yale I would be very happy. Extremely efficient scorer, good rebounder, who can provide ~15 quality bench minutes per game without a huge talent drop off. A player like that would work very, very well in Mooney's system. 5-6 points, 3 rebounds and an assist in ~15 minutes per game, very good.
Cheddi is a good player and was actually a starter his freshmen, sophomore and junior years so he is probably not who SpiderVol was talking about. However he didn't play most of his junior year and only 2 games his senior year due to team rule violations and an injury. Probably not a road we would want to go down right now.
Since it had been awhile I was hoping he had lost his list...
Here is a recently available guy, but not sure of the help now factor:

Don't know, just trying to help the coaches out. They don't seem to look at New England much. I do know they do the NEPSAC run, have spoke with players that have seen assistants have gone to open gyms at NEPSAC schools - but have not made much impression.
This guy doesn't even have a verbal commits or 247 recruiting page. Not the type of player we should be interested in at all.
You would be happy with our final scholarship being a guy who was a role player and averaged 5 points per game in the Ivy league. Huge athletic difference between A-10 and Ivy league ball, if this kid wasn't much of a player in the Ivy league, he will be less so in the A-10.
Admittedly, it is a good story and he seems like a great kid and very likeable. Not sure how much he will help us win on the court though.
Yes I would. Expecting a grad transfer that can actually start on a competitive team at this level is a very high bar. There are maybe 10 a year, and they all go to P5 + BE schools. Having a grad transfer that would be a better 6th man than anyone we had last year would be a huge boost to the team. Quality depth is something we have been missing.
I would look at more than just his raw numbers 97. His shooting percentages, rebounds per minute, etc. are all very high. He would actually have the highest career 2FG% and 3FG% on our team if he joined, and its not like he only took a few shots. He would be 2nd in rebounds per minute and steals per minute, 3rd in assists per minute on the team. The guy is no slouch and would get playing time and really help the team out, and could possibly even start. It is important to remember that even though he is being forced to grad transfer by the Ivy league, he was essentially just a sophomore basketball-wise last year. He had a good year for a sophomore.
We should have kept two of the players we had. Two of the best players transferring this year were ours.
