Has announced he is transferring from Rutgers. Would be a nice component for 2014.
NCAAM Eli Carter leaving Rutgers - ESPN
for ISU?
Rutgers Scarlet Knights top scorer Eli Carter decides to transfer - ESPN New York
wow is Rutgers gonna suck for the next couple years, unless Jordan can really recruit. losing most of their team to graduation or transfer.
Yep, and I cannot blame the kids for wanting to leave. Jordan is going to bring in a style of play similar to the Princeton offense, it will be like Lick trying to bring Butler ball to Iowa. Rutgers is going to be bad for quite a while.
for real? has he said that? apparently he was a HC somewhere else before, right? is that what he ran?
if so, i love it! we need all the wins we can get in this conference.
Carter has no way to land at Iowa; no scholly's available and he will most likely be available immediately, unless someone transfers from Iowa, not going to happen and I don't think it would happen even if that were the case.
Greyshirt Oglesby or Ingram? Oversign like Kentucky and expect/promote fallout?

That Princeton offense seems to be working for Georgetown.
Not in the tournament. But really there's tons of variations to the Princeton offense, the Sacramento Kings ran an up tempo fast pace version of it with great success in the late 90's/early 200's. It doesn't have to be a slow paced offense.

Carter has some ugly numbers, a negative assist to turnover ratio, under 40% shooting, it does look he can get to the line and make free throws, but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired.
I am not saying it does not work but not everyone wants to play in that style of offense, which is probably why players are leaving. Lick's style worked to, at Butler but not at Iowa. It may have at some point if given the time to recruit the kids that play well in that type of system.
Coaching scandal, players defecting, new coach with a new system = Major setback
His assist to turnover ratio is terrible. If I'm not mistaken, Fran and co cooled on Carter during the recruiting period for a reason. Fran has taken 1 transfer since at Iowa and he didn't (couldn't) even contact him. That transfer came from a successful program too. Fran has not contacted transfers. He is picky as he has said and glad he isn't contacting every transfer that "is the best on their team" often times they play for terrible teams and look better than they may be because of it.
