Another transfer possibly to keep our eyes on???

[zagsfanforlife]

In Saturday's edition of the Louisville, KY Courier-Journal (not available online, as yet), coach Billy Gillispie confirmed what had been rumored for a month -- that Derrick Jasper would "li9kely" transfer to a west coast school. Jasper's local paper reports (in print, not online) that Gillespie said: "I would expect that he's going to transfer, but it hasn't been finalized."

This appeared on Kentucky's Rivals page:

"Barring any last minute reversals there will be a new No. 5 on Kentucky's roster next season. Derrick Jasper returned to his California home after Kentucky's finals ended last week and isn't expected to return to the Commonwealth to finish out his college basketball career. UK coach Billy Gillispie wouldn't completely rule out a change of heart by the Cats' projected starting point guard but conceded the possibility is remote."

I can only wish it was bayno to bring Derrick to LMU. However, I have to assume Monty Sr. at Cal may come into this equation.

I don't know how much Coach Bayno will go after him. We already have Vernon, Isaiah, and Laron at his position. Not saying he wouldn't be an welcome addition.

We still need a big man too.

BIG MAN, BIG MAN, BIG MAN. That better be the primary item on Coach Bayno's list. Let's not make the same mistakes our former Coach did. I have faith that Bayno will land atleast 2 Big Guys. Just SAY BAYNO!
