I gave up long ago predicting who would go and who would stay, especially as seniors.
They all believe they are "the answer" no matter where they are headed, and whatever baggage they carry will be left behind them.
That said, this rule will not hurt players like DP. This new rule targets players like Anthony Roberts, who fits the computer model (ht/wt) of a solid power conference 2guard, but is so far from being a CONSISTENT and reliable producer on a solid mid-major team, much less even an A-10 or C-USA program that reality will likely be a hard smack in the face.
Yet these kids are bullet proof in their own minds. Their great games, even average games, somehow make their other sins fade away.
The other issues, particularly for MAC-type teams that more and more rely on JUCOs, does this rule mean a juco player can prove himself one year in the MAC, then immediately transfer to a P5 program that lures him away?
Overall, even more than the rule already in place, this will make it even more impossible for any mid-major coach to build a "program." Not to mention have any control/discipline over the players he recruits.
Not a good situation at all.
