C Luke Fischer (Indiana transfer)

[Duke1Agn]

This is an interesting scenario. I believe he would be eligible to play at the beginning of the next semester? I tend to think that we might be the favorite here (if our coaches are interested). But at the same time, I like where our team is at right now. Wragge has cemented himself as the starter at the 5. Artino has provided a great boost off the bench. And we have Hansen as a freshman; as well as a redshirt Hegner. Three of those guys are back next season. Luke is obviously the most highly regarded in terms of recruiting, but I really feel like our team needs to add a quick guard to the roster for next year. Would I take him? Gladly. I'm just not sure it's the best move roster-wise.

He is going to have to sit out one year (two semesters) per NCAA rules regardless of where he goes in D1.

He would presumably enroll next semester. I'd think that Marquette would be in the lead, with UW-Milwakuee and UW-Green Bay potenital options if there is no scholarship and he wants in state tuition rates for next semester.

I think he would have to wait a year so if he enrolled now, he'd be eligible midseason next year. I think we still have two needs for next year. A PG and a PF. I know we only have one scholie as of now (who knows with transfers and whatnot). If we got Luke, we can easily put Luke, Hanson (or Artino for that matter) at the 5 and Hegner and Artino at the 4. I'm not sure Groselle will get much playing time but he would be at the 5 as well.

I thought they changed that rule?

Anyhow. Marquette wasn't in his final three. Indiana, Iowa State, and Creighton. Obviously things may have changed, but I tend to think we are sitting quite well.

We have zero scholarships available for this spring semester. I don't see (a) Fischer paying for his own schooling this spring or (b) us booting someone in the next week.

I threw Marquette in there for two reasons - 1) If there is anything to the homesickness some claimed, the kid is from Milwaukee; and 2) Marquette had a big man drop out of school right before the season started. That same big man was slotted to play major minutes next year, so they have an immediate need.

It wouldn't surprise me if he went to Iowa State. Isn't that where every transfer goes nowadays?

Ah yes. Forgot about that issue. Sure we can't just ask the NCAA for a little leeway? How about another scholarship, guys...help us out just this once.

The kid would REALLY be selling himself short if went to the above to UW system schools, especially UWM.

I was assuming he would enroll this semester. Guys transfer over Christmas break all the time.

Yeah, I think we are talking about the same thing. By next semester, I meant the one coming up, which is what you obviously meant as well. Regardless, he has to sit out two semesters, meaning he couldn't play until second semester of next season.
