Some coaching changes and transfers of interest
VMI star Bubba Parham will transfer to Georgia Tech.
Wofford loses another one.
Big loss for them. Curious as to his reasons and his timing.
Wouldn't be surprised if Aluma follows Young to VA Tech. He's from MD, so would be closer to home.
From the Eastern Shore of MD - still a LONG way from VT - about 90 miles closer than SparkleCity....7'ish hours vs. 8'ish hours.
I, too, think this is a BIG loss for Woffy. I liked this young man. Thought he was a tad soft inside, but he's young & can grow into a more physical game. Smooth moves and agile though. His Dad played in the NBA and for the Globetrotters, so he has some good genes to build on.

Wofford statement about Coach McC and Aluma:
“Due to the sensitivity of the issue, we are not going to make those two available for comment right now."
I have no idea what that means. I’m confident there is a better way to say something without creating more questions.

I think this one might hit a little close to home is what I read... 
One first assumption...Mike Young might have acquired the services of Aluma at VT.
With all the upheaval at VMI, Mercer, ETSU, and Wofford, the Citadel is beginning to look like a beacon of stability.

really?? We would want a Wofford bail out who cant shoot?
Is 67% from the field bad for a 6-9 230 Forward? 67% is the best FG% on Wofford's Team, BTW. Yeah - he doesn't shoot 3's. I guess that's what you meant. Just comparing stat lines, Aluma's stats are most comparable to Mounce's...without the 53 3's.

The only thing that I see to 'hate on' with his stat line is his FT %. Don't understand why kids can't shoot FT's today. I was not a very good hoopster in my FR year in HS, but I prolly made 90% of my FT's. The basket ain't movin', neither are you, and ain't nobody gonna put a hand in your face. MAKE YOUR DANG FREE THROWS, KIDS!

If losing ~75% of your conference games the past five seasons, graduating 48% of your points and 62% of your rebounds in 2019, and signing three guys with no other D1 offers is how you define stability...than I can't disagree.
