Ahh yes, JJ Moore. That was who I was thinking about also to put on that list.
Just for Fun ... Some "All-Time" Pitt Transfer Teams ...
- Thread starter DT_PITT
- Start date
I’m hopeful that trey McGowan breaks that trend - and his defensive efforts are encouraging-
But hope folks don’t dog him if he’s not an offensive power
Dominic Dumancic ended up at Slippery Rock I believe. I knew a prof who counseled him. He was extremely emotionally challenged because for much of his time here, he literally didn't know where his family was during the disintegration of Yugoslavia.
I swear I remember Tony Tate playing, but it might have been a Blue-Gold game or an exhibition.
I think Rich Carrigan just gave up basketball. He had some health issues. His son is a TE here now.
I spent an hour or so one slow day trying to find Epps. I don't think he ever played anywhere after the juco.

I wish i could remember who posted about playing against Epps at Trees. Whoever the poster was claimed that there was literally nothing about him that stood out compared against the rest of the guys at trees. Who knows if that antecdote was true, but if it was, it said a lot about Epps.
Epps WAS well rated as a soph. He was considered the 2nd best PG at the first JamFest in Pittsburgh. The only guy rated higher was named Kyrie Iring. He WAS pretty good, a cat-quick defender and creative passer.
It didn't hurt that he was over a year older than others in his class, so he basically should have been a junior. He was old enough that he would not have been eligible in high school as a senior.
He went to Hargraves for prep school but was ineligible first semester. Second semester he was the leading scorer on a team which lost only in the national prep final.
He had to sit out another year at Pitt because of grades. By the time he was eligible, he physically was a different person. He was much heavier and slower. Just no longer the prospect he had been projected as.

It was Walter Waters who went to Cleveland State. Dodson went to Kentucky then Southern Mississippi.
It’s harder for me to call McCarrol a disappointment as he was not really a highly touted recruit — only a top 200 type.
It would have had to have been an exhibition as Tate was not eligible. Partial qualifiers were able to play in exhibitions at the time.
I remember watching Krauser play in the exhibition before his PQ year (01-02) and thking he may have been our best player.
The difference for Moore is that he was a pretty highly thought of recruit — a definite top 100 type. He was indeed athletic and had some skills. He progressed through his sophomore year, and looked like he was poised to emerge. But he kind of flattened out there, and even regressed a bit.
Yeah, that is maybe the first time we talked. I remember reading your post the next day and it was exactly what we had been discussing. So, I figured I knew who DT was.
I think we had a brief discussion about Ghandi Jordan while walking out of the Fieldhouse some years before but it could have been somebody else.
Watching Tate could have been in a Blue-Gold scrimmage even.
Actually I’m referring to the Blue Gold game for Krauser—not an exhibition game. Probably the same think for Tate.
Oh, I remember the Krauser game well. You must have come directly from work. You were dressed very professionally - coat, tie, trenchcoat. I thought you were a lawyer.
Brian Brush wasn't a transfer. He started as a walk on from Sharpsville PA, and ended up on scholarship.
If you look at the original post, you will see that I already included Jordan on my "all transfer in" second team. He came here from Morgan State.
Not a transfer, but a decommit. And not even a huge loss but it’s bugging me that his name escapes me. Haven’t been able to get it off the top of my toungue the past few days and figured DT or someone would remember.
Who was the guard ~5-7 years ago that i believe decommitted from Okie State to us that had major academic issues that we sweated out for like a year plus who ultimately ended up at Tennessee? I recall he put up some points for a year or two, but was a volume shooter. I feel like he just disappeared and didn’t play four years. I wanted to look him up.
