#Scoop Ex-Memphis Guard Roburt Sallie visiting Oregon for a visit next month

Sallie is a senior who will graduate in August, and will have 1 season to play, immediately eligible.

Sounds like a decent option.

Does anyone know the details on why he is immediately eligible? Is it because of his past issues with eligibility and the NCAA dropping the ball or just because he's a transfering player graduating this yr.

'He graduates in August... NCAA rules allow him to transfer to any D-1 program immediately, with no loss of eligibility.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis guard Roburt Sallie plans to pursue basketball elsewhere after he receives his degree in August.

Sallie, a junior, will have one season of eligibility remaining after playing with the Tigers the past two seasons and at City College of San Francisco as a freshman.

He set the Tigers' single-game record for 3-pointers made with 10 in a come-from-behind win against Cal State Northridge in the first round of the 2009 NCAA tournament.

Sallie is a 6'5/200 guard.

He wouldn't be a bad pick-up and could help immediately. I wonder if he's going to visit Washington since they have some room too.

Take it for what it's worth, but Romar was on the Softy show today and said they aren't going after anyone else this year. They only wanted Jones or nothing.

Nice call by northbeachsf..

No doubt, props northbeach. Sallie would be a really nice addition. A veteran guy who has proven himself at a high level.

What do Memphis fans think of him ??

"next month" seems like an eternity in this guys travels. He could attend 2 more prep schools and maybe another D1 school in that time.

"sallie is such a positive, mature influence. i really hope he stays"

"I thought Sallie was consistently our best defensive player throughout this past season. If anything else, his experience of playing in some big games as well as teaching the youngsters to "D UP" would be huge. Would love to have him back for his senior year but certainly understand he has to make whatever choice is best for him and his family. Best of luck to Roburt wherever he ends up."

"He's a leader on the court and always brings energy."

Then you see other comments that suggest there may be some disciplinary issues... I have a feeling if Altman was concerned about that, he wouldn't be pursuing Sallie.

Sallie would be an excellent addition. He would be a massive upgrade over Lekendric Longmire in literally every aspect of the game.

I like the idea that the scholarship would again be available after next season.

Sallie would add needed depth, with a decent defense, as well as a shooting threat.

I don't think I have ever seen a situation like this. A guy gets his degree in August from one school, then would already be playing for another school like 2 months later. I would definitely take Sallie.

He sounds very interested in Oregon and mentions some things that make it seem as if Oregon is the leading contender. He sounds like the type of player that Altman could use until he gets a full recruiting season under him.
