How many kids in the last 20 years has Dayton had that were good enough to play a significant role at Kentucky? The answer is somewhere between zero and none.
Putting aside the sitting out a year for a moment, I cant even think of a kid who left Dayton and went to a better program, let alone Kentucky or Duke. Closest I can think of is Meacham going to Illinois, and that could be argued.
It certainly doesn't help us but I agree with the previous comments that we aren't going to lose our best 3 players every year. Each school is still only going to have a certain number of scholarships available and every transfer they take is one less spot for an incoming 3 or 4 star recruit, and we will likely be the beneficiaries of the "secondary market" with kids that go to schools a tier or so below us who bloom and want to play on a bigger stage but aren't good enough to play at a P5 school.
