For me the important variable in transfer loading is integration. Georgetown provides a model. Their offense added some transfers
Transfers are a very complicated issue. Many of the posters have been incisive about the practice. Part of the magic of college sports resides in the wonder of witnessing kids develop over 4 years, from 4th team hangers on to 1st team mainstays. To me this is an argument against hoarding transfers every year. For example, take Sagaeder. He often dominated at Mt. Sinai, but struggled mightily last year. I still believe he will become an excellent LSM. With the number of dmen transfers this year, we may not see him on the field. My excitement for next season diminishes because there are some number of recruits we will not see.
Remaining competitive may require the new emphasis on transfers. I thought Kurst was a joy to watch last season as much for his enthusiasm as for the way his teammates responded to him. But how about Gtown. It took them 2/3 of the season to integrate the fine transfers they had collected. And now they are faced with a group of recruits who lost a year of experience.
Recognizing that the NCAA cannot ban transfers, I believe it could limit the number per team to maybe 2 or 3, thus widening the number of teams that might take advantage and evening the playing field. The current practice leaves me cold.
