FROM San Jose St to Gonzaga, Brandon Clarke
FROM Howard to Tennessee, James Daniel III
FROM Robert Morris to Michigan State, Braden Burke
FROM Cleveland St to Arizona St, Rob Edwards
FROM East Carolina to Syracuse, Elijah Hughes
FROM Rice to Florida, Egor Koulechov
FROM Sacred Heart to Seton Hall, Quincy McNight
FROM Duquesne to SMU, Isiaha Mike

The RPI’s of the teams transferring FROM primarily ranging anywhere from the high 200’s (270’s/280’s) into 314, 321, 328, 339.

It happens. Every year. And the top programs pick up solid pieces and contributions to their teams from bottom dwelling programs. To discard it simply based on where the player was the previous year is ignorant and irresponsible.
I think SLUFLYER did a pretty good job here. If udscott wants to get technical and picky, he needs to clean up his own posts. I’ve read both top-bottom 20 and Top-bottom 30 in his posts Split the difference and say top 25 - that would be ranked teams. Very high standard there. And I think we would all agree any team in the 300s rpi which is about 50 are the worst programs every year. SLU listed several 300 programs above . Udscott also claims major contributor. I didn’t read that in Slu’s post. I read solid pieces and contributors.

I believe this all started with udscott complaining UD was looking at players that didn’t meet his standards because they came from the worst programs in DI. A lot of people say where the come from isn’t that important when evaluating a transfer. I think SLU laid out a pretty good case here. I think a person could also add players who were highly recruited out of high school, went to top programs and didn’t fulfill their hype.

I believe our coaching staff is evaluating transfers on their playing talents. Looking at a stat sheet is a fine starting point, but breaking down game video is what determines who gets an offer and who doesn’t.
