Montaque Gill-Caesar Transfering From Missouri
- Thread starter aarongreattinger
- Start date
I thought we recruited him though? I welcome an educated, respectful response because I sincerely wonder why we wouldn't have any interest in him, he does not appear to be a one-and-done and could provide leadership on future teams. It's not always about the very next year (or 2).
Not sure about him being a leader. His decision making is suspect at this point...it may get better but, it may not...
Man, I really thought Mizzou would help strengthen the basketball side of the SEC. Instead they've stunk up the joint and excelled in football.
Probably because UK will have some combination of Mulder, Matthews, Fultz, Alkins, Bridges, or Monk on the roster. If three or four of those guys are on the roster, where would MGC fit in? He's a talented kid, but I'm not sure he'd take minutes from any of the aforementioned players.
I've seen Matthews play, and he's a multi-year kid who does almost everything MGC does, only better.
He's injured too much for my taste. It's very possible that he was just misused by a bad basketball coach, got keyed on a lot (being the only good player for Mizzou), and didn't have any help around him. Maybe he's a kid that flourishes with talent around him. I would welcome him, but I would be wary because of the injuries. Couldn't hurt to give him some run at the 3-4 though.
I think UK had a little interest in the kid coming out of high school. Can't see UK going after him right now because he already been recruited over. Probably one of the reasons he didn't come here in the beginning.

His coach at Huntington Prep, Rob Fulford took an assistant coaching position at Mizzou. MGC followed him.
I will root for Missouri a little the next few years, a good customer of mine has a grandson playing for them, Gant. He's a local kid to me, hope he does well.
I was thinking the same thing, Mizzou used to have decent basketball. That program may be down for several more years.
C'mon, did someone just say Charles Matthews is better than MKG?
You can't say he's a multi-year kid who does what MKG does, but better?

It amazes me how many people reply to a post without even reading the post they are replying to. Of course the dude aint saying the kid is better than MKG. That would be insane. Haha
I think the current SEC rules still apply. If an athlete transfers from one SEC school to another SEC school, he sits out one year and loses another year of eligibility. So if he is a Freshman now, he sits out the 2015-16 season, plays the 2016-17 season as a Junior.
OK thanks ...... I was not sure how that worked. I thought some years ago they changed the rule but I have slept since then.
Na we don't need him with a 16 class that's stacked and loaded. Getting him would screw us out of getting a big 5star like Bridges or maybe Jackson if we have a shot at him. I'd rather have Bridges than MGC. If he wanted to come here he should have done it out of HS instead of going to Mizzou.
I think Cal just kinda put out the feelers on him when he didn't know how loaded the team would be last year. Similar to Vick this year. Doubt he's interested now.
He was definitely recruited by Cal. He was considered one of the top players in his position coming out of H.S. However, in answer to the question, I would be more than shocked that there would be any interest now. And it is not about the existing roster but the potential recruits.
Missouri is going to be real bad. Hopefully when we play them it's a noon or early afternoon game. I like playing good teams in prime time but if it's an easy opponent might as well play early, get the win, and watch some other games.
Every time we think the SEC is about to step up and be a better conference, teams fail to meet those expectations and do stuff that keeps them where they are. Arkansas just took a hit as well. I doubt Florida gets back to where they were under Donovan for a while either. Just have to accept that it's a football conference and UK will have to get their challenges in the OOC schedule.
Agreed. The SEC has been somewhat down in basketball. Florida has really been our only consistent competition, and the Gators will have a difficult time recovering from Donovan's departure. I think LSU could develop into a consistent challenger. LSU has had some good success in recruiting. Texas A&M is also making some progress in basketball. I would like to see one of those teams develop into a good challenge for us.
