Since the signing period is just around the corner and we fans love to moan about the # of stars a recruit has I did some research....<br />
<br />
I charted the top 100 recruits from 2008 thru 2011 with their career averages among other things.<br />
<br />
Once you take away the one or two (I left the 3 and done in) and done players from those classes and the few players that never made it to a college campus you have 321 players. Out of those 321 players 105 (32.7%) transferred at least once.<br />
<br />
It's getting worse 34% of the 2011 top 100 (w/o nba early entry) class transferred<br />
<br />
Broken down by size.. 43% (46 players)of the 105 transfers were guards (6'5 or below) and 56% 6'6 or up. Which actually falls in line with the % each group makes up of the 321 players.<br />
<br />
Below are some more useless stats (hey that's what I do!) the average ppg for a career for the top 100 players from 2008-2011 (321 players)<br />
<br />
70 out of the 321 averaged 5ppg or less ...21%<br />
<br />
95 out of the 321 averaged 6ppg or less....29.5%<br />
<br />
119 out of the 321 averaged 7ppg or less....37%<br />
<br />
152 out of the 321 averaged 8ppg or less.....47%<br />
<br />
189 out of the 321 averaged 9ppg or less.....58.8%<br />
<br />
230 out of the 321 averaged 10ppg or less....71.6%<br />
<br />
60 out of the top 321 top 100 players from 2008-2011 averaged 12 or more ppg for their career <br />
<br />
The big boys tend to do worse over their careers than the guards. I broke this down into two groups 6'6 and up and 6'5 and lower.<br />
<br />
Out of the 321 top 100 players from 2008-2011<br />
<br />
183 are 6'6 or up they had a average of 7.3ppg for their careers<br />
<br />
138 are under 6'6 they had a average of 9.3ppg
