Goodluck Okonoboh announced his intention to transfer from UNLV on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Because of the timing, some fans might have missed the news or forgotten that the former NEPSAC big man and top-30 recruit in the class of 2014 is now available and looking for a new home for the final 1.5 years of college eligibility.
