Georgia Tech seems to think highly of Hans; decision due this week.

Transfer season
- Thread starter Eight Legger
- Start date
Not sure if this is right or if it leaves out some teams...

Considering we were in a one bid CAA league during the tenures versus the multi-bid much higher profile A-10 league now, that is not really a fair comparison. Also, there were no grad transfers back than. We did seem to have a lot of great transfer from BCS programs under them though (Kass Weaver, Kinte Smith, Tony Dobbins, Greg Stevenson) are a few that pop off my head.
A better comparison is how Mooney is doing in recruitment versus our current league members. I know some of our current league members (LaSalle comes to mind) are very active in the transfer market to build their programs whereas we prefer generally to build more from high school recruiting, so even that might not be the best comparison.
Hans committed to us three months ago. Mooney told him to pick the number he wanted to wear, and he was all set. But he also told him to drag things out publicly for awhile and to schedule the maximum number of visits allowed, preferably to Nebraska (payback for AWIII), GT (Pastner is just fun to F with) and Iowa State (a team our advanced algorithms have determined we may face in the first round of the NCAAs this year).
Now the process is coming to an end, those other schools will have to scramble to fill in the blanks when Hans commits here, and we'll all have a good laugh.
Or, something like that.

Iowa State poster claims Princeton hoops tweeted and then immediately deleted that Hans is headed there. I suspect it's fake, as there is no evidence anyone else on Twitter saw the tweet.

Yeah, although the somewhat unusual thing about this situation is that he can't play for Princeton next year even if he wanted to, so it's not like he's spurning the Tigers in heading elsewhere.
Not exactly encouraging. Let's hope they had four of those ready to go and someone accidentally tweeted out the wrong one.
Someone really went to a lot of trouble to fake it, if so. Hope that is the case though!
I like the guy with over 500 posts on their board who replied "How long did it take for you to make this?"
Was the plan to hope Hans would forget he hadn't made a decision yet, and think he had already committed?
I thought it seemed too legit to be a fake that someone designed. This is a huge blow to us.
Agree. Brase was the piece that could have propelled the Spiders back to the NCAA. REALLY hurts unless there is another option that we don't know about.
Tough on the UR BBall people.ISU offers B12,very nice home digs,NCAA tourney resume,graduate school
curriculum options.Our Princeton commonality,A10 and NIT resume couldn't do it.Our reliance on Brase would have been much greater than ISU's.

I wouldn't put anything past that buffoon. Here's to hoping...
I will say that Hans allowed a ton of ISU people to follow him on Twitter recently, including the official Cyclones account. His account is private, so he had to allow them all to follow. Maybe he just allows everyone, who knows.
Agreed. Hopefully, this is not true but the writing has been on the wall for weeks now when he was taking his tour around the country that he was not sold on his offer here.
If he is indeed going to Iowa State, what is our plan now?
Is something going on with the twitter timeline?
Both this tweet and Rothstein's now appear to be 3 hours earlier.

well, the ESPN grad transfer list doesn't show much interesting in the big guy category. pretty sure there won't be a comparable replacement to Hans.
good grad transfer big men go to the glory schools. those schools have a bunch of late openings to fill, and promise the world. heck, the W&M kid would rather spend his final year handing out towels for a championship contender than play.
You'd think "Hey, we are an Atlantic 10 program that finished third last year and we need a starting 4/5: Are you interested in starting and playing major minutes for a good team?" would be enough to convince SOMEONE to take a flyer.
Yep. Hope we can find someone to fill out the front court. If not, Joe Kirby, it appears to be your lucky day again.
sure, someone. just not a guy that can help. look at the list. can't add a good grad transfer big man if there aren't any.

There was one, with more potential ties to our program than anyone we've recruited in recent memory, and we failed. But, par for the course. Maybe this is another year that we will lament having been "just one player away."
