Darius Paul Off the Board

Western Michigan transfer to the Illini. No surprise as Brandon is his brother. What was a surprise to me was that it mentions MU offered. Sorry if this was mentioned elsewhere, but I didn't see it, but it looks like to me that Buzz is after a forward with Juan's spot.

Fine with me. That takes away one of the listed destinations for Sheldon McLellan.

The kid that just transferred to Alabama, 6-9 Michael Kessens, is the transfer that might have intrgued me as much as anyone, including McClellan. 6-9 and long and averaged almost 14 points and 9 rebounds for Longwood (VA) last year as a freshman. Swiss player who hasn't been playing that long.

I wonder if MU had inquired since Dale Layer coached in the same conference as Longwood and Marquette will need to replace Jamil Wilson, Chris Otule and Davante Gardner after next year?
