This. Over 700 players transfer every year now. With about 350 teams, it works out to, basically, two players on every team, every year, now transfer.

I don't dispute your numbers. Just wondering what changed, and when. It certainly didn't used to be like this at ODU up until just recently. Makes me wonder if today's youth are not liking the constant chastising that Jones lashes out at them with during the time outs.

This is happening everywhere. Kids dont sit on the bench for 4 years like they used to be willing to do. Grad transfers is a part of it as well, but kids just dont stick it out. When they see other kids coming in they leave instead of trying to compete with them. I wouldnt attribute it to an institutional problem. UVA lost 3. Georgetown lost 3 (plus a signed commit), etc
