Some Josh Martin videos for all you Mustang fans

On Friday, JD Scroggin came out of hibernation and reported that Josh Martin, formerly of Minnesota and Bothell High School in Bothell, WA, would transfer to Cal Poly.

Martin is a 6′ 8″ forward nicknamed “The Hulk,” who found himself down on the Golden Gophers’ depth chart. He has been to San Luis Obispo before, when he competed in the Mission Prep Christmas Classic as a high schooler.

Martin saw playing time in seven of the Gophers’ first eight games this season, but hadn’t seen the floor in almost a month — a span of six games.

Martin’s addition once again showcases Joe Callero’s ability to recruit from the Seattle area. With Cal Poly’s post depth waning after the 2015-16 season (Joel Awich and Brian Bennett will both be seniors), Callero’s addition of another big man makes sense. Earlier this year Luke Meikle, a post player from Tacoma, transferred to Cal Poly from Gonzaga.

What other transfers has Cal Poly had in the Callero era?

What’s impressive about some of the videos I posted below is not just Martin’s fierce dunks, but his confidence and ability to shoot from outside. I’ll be interested to see how Martin fits-in over time, but Cal Poly fans should be excited to get a high-major athlete on-campus with, potentially, 3 1/2 years of eligibility remaining.

While Luke Meikle would be available to Callero at the beginning of next season, Martin would become available for 2015-16 Big West Conference play, per NCAA transfer rules — as reported by Scroggin.
