So can we talk about ISU outbound transfers yet now
***Official 2018 Transfer Thread***
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
Heard that Carter kid is leaving town. It's too bad, I was hoping for the best. He was once a highly-regarded recruit. Stole him from dirty Larry as I recall.
No.
ISU fans know it is a bad look to speculate on players that may or may not leave. Coaches and player will make that decision.
Iowa fans can spend their board time demanding 3-4 of their players leave to a mid-major or switch to football.
Posted this elsewhere too, but it sounds like looser transfer rules are on the way.

More from above:
"Barta said there is wide support in his committee for two changes he expects to take effect by this fall regardless of whether the full rule change is ready — students will no longer need their university’s permission to transfer, and the university cannot block them from getting financial aid at their new school. In the past, a coach could create a list of schools, typically rivals, where an athlete couldn’t transfer and remain on scholarship.
The new rule mandates “an accountability both ways,” Barta said.
Barta said NCAA data show that an athlete who transfers schools has a lower likelihood of graduating. The new rule would address that by ensuring that only students with a certain GPA — probably well above 3.0 — and enough coursework completed to be on track to graduate on time would be allowed to transfer and play immediately. Those details are still being worked out."
"“We haven’t gotten into, how would we grandfather it in. The goal is to have it set by June, but we haven’t talked about, would that apply to everybody immediately or would it apply starting Aug. 1?”
Barta’s committee meets again in April to further clarify how the rule would work. The full NCAA council would vote in June."

You know if a current coach would just go up to a player transferring and ask him kindly not to transfer to the rivals school. Sell him a little bit and help him get to a new school. They would not have to block these kids most of the times to be honest.
None. If we take a transfer it'll be a sit out guy unless some high level guy shows interest
IMO, if we have a spot to fill, this is how I would rank our needs
1. point guard with range
2. shooting guard with range
3. point guard without range
Have you heard things on this? I wouldn't mind adding a grad transfer guard because:
1. Grad transfers guards that can contribute are easier to find than bigs
2. We'd still only have a 4 person senior class with a senior grad transfer and that won't screw up class balance.
3. We are going to be deep at most positions next year, and I'd hate to lose a single game because of lack of quality guard depth. I think there are question marks with Lewis/Long (will they improve), Haliburton (will he be physically ready), and THT (can he defend on the perimeter), and it wouldn't hurt to bring in an experienced player to compete with them.
I don't think the staff will look to add a grad transfer.
Any grad transfer worth using a scholarship on will want major starting time and will have a lot of options. NWB, Wigginton, Shayok, THT, Lewis and Long will have enough difficulty getting minutes. I actually would be concerned with the staff's confidence in next years team if they are major players in that market.
I trust Prohm to develop Lewis's, THT's, Shayok's outside shooting and shore up that perceived weakness in house. I'm not worried about balancing classes, that will workout with normal attrition over the next couple of years.
