Men's Basketball Transfers

As we await what we hope will be the official confirmation that Todd Simon will be our new men's basketball coach, just a quick look at where the roster stands.

Just a note.  This is usually what happens now.  Teams sometimes bring in as many as 9 new players on a coaching change.  I expected it in this case as well.  This also happened when Jans left, though eventually, those players returned.

The problem then was that for the next year's roster, you had to have either JUCO or DII transfers, because any DI players would have to sit out.  You had a serious crisis fielding a team the next year.

That's not true right now.  Even without a coaching change, you are often bringing in a handful of new guys every year.

Also, previously, it would take 3 years for a coach to get his players.  It can happen faster now.

Also, when Lewis got to Ball State, Sparks and Sellers were re-recruited out of the portal.  It can happen.

I wish everyone on this list nothing but the best. I wish all of them a soft landing.

So, here we go.
