Good article on transfer rates in CBB....
"There were more than 500 transfers last season. That's a large, round number ... that only represents a 1.6 percent increase from 2007-08. The overall transfer market is not markedly different in volume than it was five years ago."
Two key takeaway's for me:
1) We are being affected by this so called "up-transferring" every year, and until next year (2 transfers eligible) we have not taken advantage of up-transferring. How can we make AL a destination for transfer candidates?
2) The number of transfers (500 LY) sounds large, but not much difference since 2007 (+1.6%). Are there not more Div 1 basketball teams since 2007? My belief is we can't keep using this as an excuse for our transfers.
