Volodymyr Gerun - MD's new PF???

Does anyone else think that the timing of the Ashton Pankey transfer request is odd?  Why announce now and not a few months back?  There are my questions that come to mind.  Has he failed drug tests like fellow teammates?  I sure hope not.  I myself have another spin on the situation.  I think that another PF player has been on the MD campus and Turge thinks he will join the team soon. 

Here is why.... For 2012 MD would have 5 post players (Cleare, Len, Padge, Pankey, & Mitchell).  Of those 5, Pankey would be the first forward off the bench to begin with (Len & Padge starting - no questions about that).  In 2013 Padge will be gone and depending on how Len plays in 2012, he could be gone as well.  That leaves Pankey, Cleare, & Mitchell.  Smotrycz will join the team but he is a stretch 4 and ultimately will spend time on the wing to create a larger line up.  So why leave? 

Well how about we throw into the mix Volodymtr Gerun a 6'9 PF from UKR.  The kid averaged 18 ppg & 11 rpg in the euro mens championship in 2011.  He was in Division A as well.  Volodymyr was rumored to have been on campus late last week/weekend.  Adding a player like that to the 2012 class, a player that Turge recruited and viewed to be a new asset to the team might push a player to transfer.  Thats my take on the situation.

Here is some info on Volodymyr:
