Affirm, I think you are misreading this. He is from Minnesota but still in HS. Not transferring from the University of Minnesota.affirm wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 12:53 pmI expect Mr. Humphries has solid reasoning behind any school he may be transferring to.
Don’t know if it’s any advantage or disadvantage that Furman appears to be a very different kind of school than the university from which he is transferring and also than the other 6 offers he has reportedly received.
Seattle, SIU, Winthrop, GMU, UNO, are each very close to or in NBA cities. (Cal Poly and Furman each are 2 hours to 3.5 hours from multiple NBA cities.).
All the other schools are at least twice Furman’s size, and most are even much larger than that.
Many of the schools are in conferences that require very distant regular season travel schedules.
(This is probably not particularly relevant: None of the schools have FBS football like Minnesota has; Furman, SIU, and Cal Poly are each FCS in football; and the other schools that have offered him do not have football.)
I expect he will be very welcome at Furman, by the entire Furman community.
I am not aware that any of the other schools have a coaching staff any better than Furman’s.
I am not aware that any of the other schools are expecting to have a more exciting and more meaningful 2022-2023 season than Furman.
Best wishes to Tommy Humphries, and best wishes to Furman.

I thought the tweet says “Tommy Humphries of D1 Minnesota”, and so that was why I thought Mr. Humphries was transferring away from the University of Minnesota.
