Corey Chandler visiting nearby colleges

Following up on the earlier post, Corey Chandler is looking at Binghamton and St. Bonaventure to transfer to now that he has been dismissed from Rutgers.

Personally, I'd like to see the Bonnies land an impact player... even though there is some evidence that he has some work to do in his shooting. And those two teams have game planned against him before, successfully... after the jump.

• He went 1-6 against St. Bonaventure last year (3 points, 2 assists, 3 turnovers) in 19 minutes;
• 2-7 against Binghamton (9 points - 6 free throw attempts, 2 assists, 6 turnovers, 6 rebounds);

And during the non conference schedule, Chandler dropped these clunkers:

• 0-7 against Rider (0 points, 6 assists, 2 steals, 4 turnovers);
• 3-10 against Delaware State (12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 4 turnovers)

Chandler had some decent games as well:

• 7-13 against Lehigh (15 points, 1 turnover)
• 5-11 against North Carolina (14 points, 2 assists, 2 turnovers)
• 7-16 against Pittsburgh (where they looked like they might pull off the big upset until Pitt went to zone defense, slowing Chandler and Mike Rosario in the second half, Corey had 17 points, 8 rebounds, 2 turnovers)

Watching a highly regarded player move from one college to a lower level is always interesting; athletic ability should allow that player to be a superior competitor, but the mental aspect of the game has to come as well. Talent is little without shot selection and knowledge of teammates. Some players transfer and fade into obscurity... others really thrive.
