Re: Transfers thread
My take on this is that given how much control the programs and the NCAA have over these players, any time the players have any tiny crack in the rules for an opportunity to put themselves in a better situation or even just to be somewhere where they'll be happier is A-OK with me. For many of these players this is the top level of their sport, and it only lasts for 4 years. They *should* be making the absolute most of it.
I don't think loyalty to their program has anything to do with it when these programs have all the power.
I don't know if you're talking about BC or not, but this almost exactly matches BC's situation too. Lonergan was originally committed to Harvard and Miano was originally committed to BU. Both, for one reason or another, ended up at BC, and I hope they're happier women for it.
Transfers and decommitments have benefited BC, but I would feel the same way if it hadn't. In D1 this sport is basically these players' whole lives. They should be happy doing it.
My bitterness with Clarkson getting these transfers is limited to my frustration that BC's path to the natty is now tougher -- which I know is the ARM bat signal!
