Illegomah to transfer

Frankly I can't see Capel settling for that type player. He will bring in players ready for prime time once he gets his feet set under him. Which will be shortly.
Agree I think he can become the sixth man, but idk if he can ever get beyond that. Regardless though I think that role would be good enough for him to stay. But I still think him staying depends on if he really believes there’s room in the rotation for him. Personally I think even if he falls to the end of the rotation it’s better for Pitt if he finishes his career here.
There aren't many bigs go go around and pretty much all the good ones are already signed so I can see him taking a McGhee/Brown hoping to get lucky. I don't see him reaching for a Peace or Doyle Hudson, Tyrone Haughton, or Rozelle Nix
Yeah once you get outside the top 100 the bigs who are ready for a major role are few and far between. If they can get a kid whose raw on the offensive end but can give them five quality fouls on the defensive end it would be a good ship to offer.
This is the kind of shooter they need. This kid had 70 points in two games against D1 PGs. He’s being recruited by Utah st and Utah he’s in the first two highlights

Everyone who transfers loses two semesters of eligibility. Everyone gets five years to play four. If you transfer at midyear you lose the 2nd semester this year and the 1st semester next year. You then play the 2nd semester next year as a redshirt sophomore and are eligible for 2-1/2 more seasons.
This is what I always thought. But a few years ago, some posters said I was wrong and that you lose those semesters and never get them back. I didn't believe it and they fought with me and showed me some examples (John Johnson, Khem Birch) and I felt like I did when I found out wrestling was fake.
Khem Birch played one semester at Pitt, transferred and sat out two semesters, played at UNLV one semester as a redshirt sophomore and then two semesters a redshirt junior and then declared for the NBA draft.

Anyone who used Birch as an example of someone losing a full season of play if they transfer mid-year didn't know what they were talking about.
John Johnson played in at least one exhibition game for Pitt the season that he bailed out in November. Unless he got a wavier from the NCAA that one exhibition game used up a season of eligibility, because as I have pointed out in two other threads recently, if you play one game, even one exhibition game, you are not eligible for a non-medical redshirt in basketball (or any other non-football sport). So he used up 3 semesters at Pitt (two years), sat out 2 semesters at Penn State, and then played three semesters at Penn State (two more years). Per NCAA rules, he played his four years. He may have been able to get a waiver to play another year if he had applied for one, but the fact that he got kicked off the Penn State team in January that year and didn't play the rest of the season may have prevented that.
I think your confusion is in semantics ... you do lose a season, the two semesters lost is a season all things considered. You lose an entire season of play but the standard one full season is played over different semesters than the ones lost. So, yes, you do not lose a full contiguous season but in essence you do lose a full season of play.
There was a big who transferred from Gtown mid-season who this board discussed us recruiting. If I remember correctly, he was a Junior. People were saying why would be do that because he would just get 1 semester and at his new school. I said no he would be a RS junior but most people disagreed with me. Care to look that up? I don't feel like it
Move on,
Your instincts and opinions are as usual not based on evidence or reality
You were wrong and I told you, using your two examples, why you were wrong. I know what the rule is. You are the one who seems to be confused. If you want to figure out why, look it up yourself.
