agree - unless NCAA changes transfer rules he would sit 2020-21 season and have 2 years to play starting in 2021-22
He is from the NW area
If rules do change then numerous guys could be on the move
As of today we only have 1 scholarship - hope the coaches use it on Grad transfer that can play the 5/4 position or add guard if Malachi leaves
did see that Shockers are also trying to recruit the Grad Transfers we are after - one that plays the 5/4 position and and the grad transfer PG from Santa Clara
Shockers have 4 or 5 guys transferring out -

By the time he's eligible the only guard on the roster (who we've seen play) will be SR Adam Seiko.
With that said, his shooting numbers are not amazing. Scored a lot of points last year, but on 37.7% FG, 30% 3FG. Nobody who shoots 30% from 3 should be taking 5 threes a game.

He was shooting 36.5% from 3 until mid-January... roughly when he seems to have had a falling-out with the coach.
Still, unless he's eligible immediately I can't see using a scholarship on him given the need for a grad transfer 4/5 and if Flynn leaves, a grad transfer guard.
But given that we're after him and some other guards... I think Flynn has already decided to leave or is at least strongly leaning that way and has told the coaches.

Seems to be mixed messages Dutcher being told by Malachi a few days ago - that he had not even thought about NBA - but Dutcher saying he ought to check into the NBA Workout for underclassmen . While others saying looks as though he will be gone to NBA now that awards are out and he could be mid second round
Do hope that what ever Malachi is thinking of doing he stay in contact with Dutcher so he can plan for it
Agree that having guard sit next year would not be the best game plan for the 2020 season if Malachi is leaving -

New one time transfer rule with no need to sit will likely pass this offseason, so I think he is banking on being eligible next fall.

or with all that is going on - wouldn't it be better if the NCAA - gather more information and talk with coaches to take a closer look at the no sit transfer rule .
Dutcher has said that currently he is not a firm believer in the possible new rule

The rule is going to become law or not and Dutcher will just have to live with whatever the NCAA decides. Something tells me it will pass since that seems to be the way the pendulum is swinging - the powers that be seem interested in righting some of the wrongs imposed on student-athletes of the past. But we shall see.

But we shall see. I don’t think that they are trying to right the wrongs of the past, but instead trying to limit their losses. Scholarships are one year contracts, schools can renew or not Renew an athlete’s scholarship on a yearly basis without any penalty so why shouldn’t athletes have same option? In most NCAA sports there is no sit out period, how are football, basketball and baseball athletes different? NCAA can allow a one time transfer or be forced into unlimited transfer as in other sports |

The problem I see with the transfer rule is that every unknown or 2-3 star recruit that turns into a good player at a mid-major school will be swept up to the P5 schools. And every 4-5 star that flames out at a P5 school will come a calling to the mid-majors. The rich will just get richer. Thanks NCAA, you worthless parasites!

As long as players are funding the NCAA with zero compensation of worth (outside of a little food) I have zero issues with giving the players more rights. They should be able to make money, NCAA continues to take advantage of them. |

Hopefully we don’t need to use our scholarship on a guard. Guessing that we’re after him as an insurance plan for Malachi and believe he is leaving. If Malachi does leave and we get this kid, I sure hope that the free transfer rule becomes accepted because we will need a scoring guard to play next year.

Nobody knows how many scholarships we are actually working with. It's also possible stevenson is simply a contingency plan.

We have +1 right now, likely +2 when Malachi puts his name into the NBA draft. His POY and All-American honors is a pretty good resume to get paid in the fall. But, its true that we dont know how many spots we're working with. From the looks of it we're looking for a scoring guard and a big who can play D and rebound. Tret will be handed the PG spot if and when Malachi leaves, and KJ doesn't come back for his 6th year. |

As is the case with most rule changes - the P6 Conferences gain the most - especially the higher level teams
this is a major change - would hope that the NCAA talk with numerous coaches especially those from NON P6 conferences

Why does anybody think that the Aztec coaches are interested in this lad? Just because he is in the portal? Beam me up, coach?
Seems like a natural born Gonzaga transfer, to me.

Considering mal and yani where P5 “flameouts”, I would disagree. Plus, they have open transfers in volleyball. USD and Hawaii are perennial top 20 teams |
