How many of those are grad transfers though?

None of our losses during jones tenure are from grad transfers so NO, this is not normal.

Nor is it acceptable.

Over 800 transfers last year. Pretty evenly distributed over all years of eligibility.

Think what you want, but over the last two years, only six teams have gone without at least one transfer. It's just the nature of the beast these days. Of course, if you're looking to blame Jones for everything, this is another bullet you'll fire. If you are being intellectually honest, the facts will show it is well within the norm.

The number of juco's we've brought in, the number of players we've kicked off the team and the number of players we've had leave is far from "normal".

It looks like the players looking to defend jones no matter what will just totally ignore reality to do so.

Correct me if I am missing anyone:

JUCOs brought in (5)
Ebondo
Douglas
Pervier
Kah
Haynes

Players kicked off the team (4)
Pervier
Colbert
Mosley (I think he had the option to return)
Douglas

Left due to playing time (5)
Batten
Palmore
Clark
Haynes
Fields

You're mad that we recruited too many juice transfers. You're made that Jones kicks players off for behavioral, personal, etc issues. You're made that players transfer because of playing time.

Tell me which of the players that left due to playing time hurt us not having him?

Tell me which player who was kicked off the team hurt us by not having him?

I think the fact that outside of Lake (who we aren't in the running for) you haven't heard a juco name pop up tells you that Jones isn't looking to go that route anymore. But hey if you actually acknowledged it, you would have one less thing to ***** about.

4 players kicked off the team in 4 years. Pretty sure Blaine had 1 in over a decade.

But sure, that's normal.

And again, you are judging based off of total transfers leaving to say "it's normal".

If you take out grad transfers that number drops significantly which means, no, losing 10 players in 4 years is not actually normal.

You once again fail to understand statistics.

If you take out grad transfers from the equation teams are not losing 2.5 players a year every year on the regular across college basketball.

Nice try though.
