Breaking News: Dalante Dunklin has transferred out of UCSB

Dalante Dunklin has decided to transfer out of UCSB.  His tweets indicate the Gauchos' offensive system didn't suit his game.  He loves his teammates and coaches, but wants to keep the promises he made to his mom since age 5.

Gaucho Hoops fans will miss him and wish him the best of luck--wherever he ends up.

Colorado transfer Keegan Hornbuckle

According to Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports, former Colorado University freshman Keegan Hornbuckle has decided to transfer to UCSB. It has not been publicly confirmed by Gaucho head coach Bob Williams yet, but if true, the freshman forward will have three years of eligibility left after redshirting next season.

In fact, the reference to Hornbuckle has two errors: his first name is Keegan (not Keenan), and he is listed as 6'7" by the Colorado Buffaloes athletics website (not 6'0").

Confirmation from the coaching staff of Hornbuckle's transfer is pending.

Why Nate Garth left the Lobos

...and why he is transferring to the Gauchos. The former Lobo is a class act, parting on good terms with UNM coach Steve Alford and the Lobo basketball program. His desire to be closer to home and to have an increased role with a solid program prompted his decision to transfer to UCSB.

"I really like Santa Barbara though, nice facilities, nice city, good coach, close to home."
- Nate Garth

NCAA transfer regulations stipulate that he is not eligible to play next year, but he can still practice with the team as a redshirt. While he won't be able to play in games until the 2011 - 2012 season, his impact will be immediate as he increases the level of play in practice sessions. The whole team will benefit as they all improve their skill sets. A team that practices hard, plays hard in games.

Nate will be a great addition to the Gaucho basketball program. I have a feeling Mr. Garth will be a fan favorite among the Gaucholocos.

Nate Garth, a point guard who played the last two seasons at the University of New Mexico, will transfer to UC Santa Barbara, head coach Bob Williams announced Tuesday.

By NCAA rules, Garth will sit out the 2010-11 season as a redshirt and will have two years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2011-12.

"Nate is a highly skilled, extremely quick, and very athletic point guard," Williams said. "He is a leader and should be a great addition to our program."

Welcome to the Gaucho family, Nate!

Orlando Johnson article




There is a great article on the UCSB Gauchos athletic website about Orlando Johnson, a redshirt freshman transfer from LMU. OJ had to sit out the past basketball season due to NCAA transfer rules, but will be eligible to play his upcoming sophomore season.

It chronicles the struggles he's overcome, and the great support system his two brothers have provided him. He has become one of the team leaders and a player Gaucho fans can look forward to following.
