It is hard to believe but that number is about 5% less than the 895 transfer total from 2017. Locally, Rice lost 5 players, Houston Baptist lost 6, Texas Southern lost 5 and the University of Houston lost 3 players.

The website where this information is noted (https://www.verbalcommits.com/transfers/2018) did not have new teams listed for 78 players. The listings could be incomplete or perhaps these players did not sign with a new team and left school.

It would be interesting to know which schools are gaining the most transfers, and which are losing the most.

Nicholls State is getting six according to that site. That was the most I could find.

Savannah St. lost 8 and San Jose St. lost 7.

Even Yale lost 2, Pepperdine 3, and Columbia 3.

Middle Tennessee St. lost 4.

Really wonder how Stansbury recruits so well.... he was the only reason A&M was drawing top players. Then he goes to WKU and gets 5 stars there (who never ended up on campus).

Not that anyone cares about cheating in NCAA basketball. One of the biggest names in coaching is a proven cheat who still hasn’t been punished (actually that applies to Williams, Self and most of all Calipari who I originally thought of).

Started from the bottom...

No arguments, really. We have everything to prove this year. Our offense needs to get a bit better but everything depends on the defensive side of the ball. If we're marginally close to last year we won't win 10 games.

I'm thinking 5-27 for the season.
