Transfers

Saw this in the RG article regarding players departing. The percentage seems awfully high, even including the 'one and done' types.

Citing statistics that 40 percent of players who sign with Division I programs leave by the end of their sophomore season, the National Association of Basketball Coaches is also pushing for legislation that would allow increased contact between coaches and players well beyond what is currently allowed

The one and dones are such a small % when you remember that there are over 300 D1 BBall teams.

The sad part is that these kids don't realize the grass isn't greener on the other side. Yeah once in a while, transferring after your first year could end up benefiting you, but the majority of the time, you either transfer to a crap low div1/div2 team or you transfer to a solid school and still ride the bench for most of your career. Especially transferring after your first year! Senior and Junior transfers seem to have a much better chance of benefiting from the switch. But sheesh, when you are young, try to ride it out! You made a commitment, stick with it.

Very true TK, people leave good situations all the time and it rarely works in their favor. In the Brown and Barron situation it sounds like Brown tends to run away far adversity, which should tell us...good riddance. For Barron I would appear he followed (came to Oregon) for Brown...not the best decision making by a PG. I wish them well but these guys need to give there heads a shake and make better mature choices, life is about failure and what you do about it.
