He had real interest from a bunch of high majors as a transfer, and offers from a bunch coming out of HS.far cry from Ohio State and Meechigan as some predicted.

His dad is coach at UT Martin. Think maybe that was a factor in him choosing to play his last 2 years there?
Haha looks like Parker's next coach WAS chosen for him after all
Having interest and offering the player to transfer to your school are two different things.
Michigan and OSU has “interest” in Marcus Carr, IF their other targets went elsewhere.
They’ll find you no matter where you play if you got what it takes !I mean u would have thought he’d just go there right outta college but no...go now after a successful year at a Power-5 school.
Guess he already thinks any NBA/Pro Hoops dreams he has are gone...wow

His dad may not even be there when he's eligible to play. He's on the hot seat.
The other thing is what is the source for stating a school has interest? The kid? Or his school. Back when my kid was in HS one of his buddies who we knew wasn’t a d1 level kid said he had offers from some D1 school including Pitt. Point is some of these kids embellish their offer list. I don’t believe schools are permitted to comment
As far as Stewart goes never bought into the hype that he had all those schools interested in him. He was a good shooter with little athleticism not a great shooter. He’s now at the level he belongs
I suspect Capel didn’t put the full court press on him or Carr which is why they left. Capel has much bigger plans and has already recruited over these kids
Thinking that no other D1 program wants a 6”5’ kid that has proven that he can shoot the 3’s at a D1 level is wrong . Maybe the kid was torn and decided he wanted to play for his old man .Right. My question is, if he really wanted to play for his Dad, why did it take him a month or so to decide that? My guess is his options were not as plentiful as reported. I thought he would end up playing for his Dad all along because of that. So if he doesn’t have all of those offers, why not play for Dad?

When you have a child with issues as PS has a special bond forms better parents and child . Maybe the family felt very comfortable with KS as his coach and now his best choice is his Dad .
He never had a chance to play pro ball anywhere. That hasn't changed. I sure hope he gets a degree in something where he can get a real job out of college. Because he won't be playing basketball.
to play for daddy.
Oh, @hoopsguy72 and @PittWhitt were predicting immediate eligibility at Duke or UNC with every blue blood and top program in the country having interest. hoopsguy even used PittWhitt's post as evidence he was right that Stewart and Carr were going to be coveted as transfer options. One ends up at a decent B1G school where the coach is very likely to be fired and the other ends up at UTM playing for his Dad. Their value was extremely limited. They got awful advice from their handlers and Stallings/Cage.far cry from Ohio State and Meechigan as some predicted.
He did?!?! "Real interest"?!?! Come on. 0 top programs offered him this go round and he barely even had any offers. That was completely clear. BTW, he still has 3 years of eligibility, not 2.He had real interest from a bunch of high majors as a transfer, and offers from a bunch coming out of HS.

You’ll probably be wrong about that. He’ll take 20 shots a game for his dad and end up playing in Europe somewhere. Just because he left Pitt doesn’t automatically mean he sucks.
Take a look at his offer sheet coming out. He averaged 9 ppg as a true freshman in the ACC. He’s long and can shoot.Having interest and offering the player to transfer to your school are two different things.

I don’t know about Stewart’s situation, but that’s why Trey Ziegler went to Central Michigan as a top 25 kid, and why Ray McCallum went U. of Detroit as a top 50 kid. Because their dads needed them to save their jobs.Maybe he went because of that? To help him out some.
Nobody’s suggesting he’s the next Steph Curry. But he’s a P5 level player for sure. He chose to play for his dad over other higher level options. This is a fact, not conjecture.

He might have had 1-3 P5 offers. He wasn't coveted. The article lists him as a PG. Probably not the best source. Also, a kid releasing a "top 4" does not mean those schools offered him scholarships and he can go there. You know that.Take a look at his offer sheet coming out.

Right. But that’s why it’s still an odd choice because where would you want a degree from, Pitt or UT Martin???He never had a chance to play pro ball anywhere. That hasn't changed. I sure hope he gets a degree in something where he can get a real job out of college. Because he won't be playing basketball.

Pitt played 5 freshman with none of them going to be lottery picks that’s why they lost those games by that amount of points . Not one of those guys should’ve been anything but spot players on an ACC team . He proved he could shoot from 3 and if it was so easy to do why hasn’t anyone else shot the ball that purely as a freshman at Pitt . You don’t have to be a future pro to be a good college player .Why does everybody forget that defense is half of the game and Stewart gave up more points than he scored? Same goes for Carr. There's a reason we lost to everyone by an average of 20+ points and were 0-19 in the ACC.
If both of them learned to play defense, they might be serviceable in the ACC or in P6 college basketball. But at this time, they have a lot of work to do to get there.
Those guys were true freshmen. Why don’t you list all the true freshman lockdown backcourt/wing defenders Pitt has had over the years? You know, the guys that really “got it” defensively as true freshmen. Please list them all for us.Why does everybody forget that defense is half of the game and Stewart gave up more points than he scored? Same goes for Carr.
