Five Under The Radar Transfers

With over 1,000 transfers this off-season, it’s easy to lose track of some of the lesser known names. Here are five under the radar transfers that will have a huge impact on their new team’s success.

Jordan Brown (Memphis)

Jordan Brown is on his fourth school in six years. The former five-star prospect started his career at Nevada, then transferred to Arizona and most recently Louisiana. At Louisiana, he finally lived up to his potential. The 6’11” big man averaged 19.3ppg and 8.6rpg, earning Sun Belt Player of the Year and leading the Ragin’ Cajuns to the NCAA tournament. Brown has great feel around the rim and passes well out of the post. He’s a big-time rebounder and is capable of providing solid rim protection. Brown will start at the five for the Tigers and should put up all-conference numbers for his new team.

Mike Sharavjamts (San Francisco)

“Mongolian Mike” Sharavjamts didn’t put up gaudy numbers at Dayton, but he’s got an opportunity to make a huge jump as a key contributor for San Francisco. The 6’8″ sophomore is an excellent ball-handler for his size. He’s got good floor vision and can create plays off the bounce. Sharavjamts is also a solid catch-and-shoot three-point shooter that can help space the floor. Chris Gerlufsen’s offense had the second highest three-point attempt percentage in the country last season, meaning Sharavjamts will have plenty of drive-and-kick opportunities to rack up points and assists this year.

Yohan Traore (UC Santa Barbara)

Yohan Traore is a former five-star prospect with first-round pick potential. He played sparingly at Auburn last year because of a stacked frontcourt rotation, but has an opportunity to be the guy at UC Santa Barbara. Traore will be one of the most athletic big-men in the Big West. He runs the floor well and is a strong finisher at the rim. He’s not quite an outside threat, but he won’t need to be in an offense that finished 22nd in two-point shot percentage last season. Traore will be the perfect complimentary piece on a roster with Ajay Mitchell and Josh Pierre-Louis leading the way in the backcourt. Expect a big year from the Gauchos’ new center.

Tre White (Louisville)

Louisville landed one of the better pickups of the off-season with USC transfer Tre White. White fits very firmly in the “big guard” category. He handles the ball well and has the potential to become a true three-level scorer. He’s got the size and length to play multiple positions and is good enough defensively to switch one-thru-four. White could very easily be the best player on this team. It’s unclear how good Louisville will be this season, but White will have a big say in that at the end of the day.

Josh Cohen (UMass)

Real sickos of the sport already know about St. Francis (PA) transfer Josh Cohen. Last year’s NEC Player of the Year averaged 21.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game for the Red Flash. The biggest word associated with Cohen is efficiency. His true shooting percentage last season was 60.5%. He rarely turns the ball over for how often it’s in his hands and he finished top-10 in fouls drawn per 40 minutes last season. Cohen is one of 10 players over the last 10 seasons to average more than 20 points per game with less than five three-point attempts on the season. Simply put, the dude is a bucket in the post. He has an opportunity to be the focal point of the offense for UMass this season.
