In response to bisonmania
The fallout continues at American as now 4 players are transferring.
The complete list (although it may not be final):
1. Delante Jones - sophomore wing who played 79% of the minutes. Started every game and averaged 11.5 ppg.
2. Lonnie Rivera - sophomore PF who averaged 17.5 mpg but missed some games. Played 30.5% of total minutes. Started 9 PL games and averaged 5 ppg.
3. Alex Paquin - junior guard from Montreal who averaged 14 mpg in PL play. Had a run of good minutes in PL games but then hardly played down the stretch. Averaged about 4 ppg in PL games. Played 22% of all minutes. Reportedly will graduate from AU this spring/summer and then play immediately for McGill.
4. Andrija Matic - sophomore PF/C from Serbia. Played a lot in PL games as a frosh, averaging over 15 mpg, but rarely played this year. Played about 10% of total minutes.
In total, AU loses guys who played almost 57 mpg. At the moment, they look destined for a fight for the bottom three spots next season, but a lot will depend on how the four available scholarships are used. Under Jones, AU wss very active in soliciting transfers, but that hasn't been the case with Brennan. Since they need players who are available immediately, they may seek jucos and/or players who graduate in May but have another year of eligibility. They may opt for more HS recruits, but there aren't many still available who have the ability to come in and play right away.
