I personally think that is a ridiculous take- a cheap and easy shot that is

somewhat popular but not based in reality. Which of the Lone Peak players did you not want?? Which wasn't highly recruited? Which one would you have been crying about if we would have lost the recruiting battle of "someone in our own backyard"? Which one hasn't been a major contributor? Is it a good thing Frank Jackson changed his mind and went elsewhere?

Hard to get back to the NCAA if our best players keep taking "meh" deals in Euro

is it the program or just basektball in general? I mean, one and done is a thing

It isn't better talent in the program as we have had those players in droves in

Tillie and Hachimura are both staying for the Zags. They definitely could go

Right, but are they hoping for NBA still?

Yep- recruiting kids with a ceiling means those kids can peak early. But can you

41% of all NCAA players transfer at least once. Is BYU any better/worse than that?

interesting

That is what Coach Rose said. In terms of losing good players over the last 5

True dat. Of all the players on the transfer list truthfully only 2-3 of them

4/13/18 1:36pm

You realize that of the guys listed for transfer, all but one were asked to leave right? sort of undermines your point.

4/13/18 1:33pm

Hilarious because that is simply not true

First off, going pro is different. Including Mika in that or EB as "culture" issues makes no sense.

4/13/18 3:02pm

Also, not saying there aren't issues. Just saying those aren't it.

4/13/18 3:07pm

So basically you haven't read the OP or any of the responses

100% agree, this is just inaccurate and false.

You can't build on a team success if players can go PRO in their Junior Year
