I'm not sure of the statistics, but, it seems that a lot more kids are out transferring for their last year of eligibility. In almost every case I've seen, they've been immediately eligible. I'm sure there are loop holes and what not that I'm not familiar with. I suppose my point of this post is, I found myself initially frustrated that these rich teams were becoming richer. For Example:
Josh Davis--Tulane/San Diego State
DeAndre Kane--Marshall/Iowa State
Tarik Black--Memphis/Kansas
Michael Dixon Jr--Missouri/Memphis (not really a good example)
Rodney Hood--Mississippi St/Duke
These are just the ones I've noticed.
To wrap this up, I went exploring the reasons why some of these kids left their respective teams. I was really surprised about one young man's departure and how he handled it. Watching DeAndre Kane in person, he would always get under my skin because of his cockiness. He seems to be a pretty good kid from what I've read...
