Keith Fisher, Transfer San Jose State

[Flagship08]

Great point, is there any reason to wait until finals are finished which doesn't intale bad news?

I suppose early graduation/grad transfer perhaps, still not a good thing.

With that said, if a player like Copeland or whoever failed a class, couldn't they make up for it this summer?

Unless I missed it, the article didn't say how many years he has left to play? I'm assuming that it has to be figured out with the NCAA still. Hope we get him for three. Him, with Rey and Ndaiye will be something if the stay till their senior years.

The Pantagraph article mentions that they plan to request a third year at ISU to make up for his lost first year.

Does it mean anything that he’s wearing the same 30 jersey that Rey is wearing in his commitment tweet? Or is it just the one that fits best? It looks like he wears 12 now.

Better to have too many players than not enough. Also better to have enough D1 quality players to better compete for championships.

Welcome Keith! A 3* from south central LA. Sounds like a talented and tough young man.

Cool! That explains it. Thanks Bird Friend!

Plus all those good players to practice against each other. "Steel sharpens steel!"

No. It seems like when a lot of our guys commit they are either put in #5 or #30. Not sure why because in some instances the number is clearly photo shopped on to a plain jersey. I wouldn't read anything in to it.

I’m satisfied this this puts the “Muller can’t count” debate to bed.

And it’s nice to get these 4 transfers all these practice reps for what will be a big program transition as we lose our 4 best players from last season to graduation.

Nothing better than cookies and champagne. Or sparkling grape juice.

A good writeup on Keith. Really motivational and shows how far this kid had to come to get to where he is at now.
