Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 3311686, member: 2133"] It's a fine line. I think it's tough to get guys to sit a year and then compete for minutes. They're going to want some kind of assurance that they're not going to be benched to make the jump. The staff has to be certain that the player is going to thrive in the system. On the plus side, most of the time, the last 2-3 players on scholarship aren't typically around for the whole four years. So the team isn't losing a valuable scholarship by giving it to a traditional transfer. Also, guys like Wes and G don't show up on the transfer line often. Mostly it seems to be guys bouncing from higher programs to lower ones when they lose their jobs because they couldn't play at the level or they're recruited over. Occasionally there's a few moving up like Hughes. I think the pickins are usually pretty slim on the transfer front. [/QUOTE]
