Re: Alex Murphy - Transferring From Duke
Well, to be fair, even UConn and Florida don't have Jabari Parker and a 5 star replacement for 2014-15 coming in. That being said, I agree it isn't worth the risk because those schools will recruit over you, too. BC and ND are ACC and those are two year waits, I think. I would think Davidson or URI would be good fits. He would get PT, for sure. I guess it depends on how much he wants to be near home. Also, Davidson is a very highly regarded degree. If you are giving up a Duke degree, there are worse colleges than Davidson.bigappleram wrote:agree, i cant sniff the court at duke but i am going to transfer to florida or uconn? both of those teams might be better than duke this year, and stocked for the future. i would assume a step down in some manner.SGreenwell wrote:I think he has to take a step down in conference / team quality.

Re: Alex Murphy - Transferring From Duke
Florida actually would offer playing time. The two starting forwards are seniors.
Playing time will be the number one consideration. You'd think he'd want to go to a team that will be winners for the next two years. I think URI or PC would have a better chance than Davidson.
Is closer to home a consideration?
If academics is a high priority then Davidson gets the edge...
It matters what he wants.

Re: Alex Murphy - Transferring From Duke
Pc has a strong class for next year am I right. So I don't think it would work out for him there. Maybe I'm ignorant but just a thought. Obviously he would play here. Wish I knew his academic approach since that plays a roll too.
