Most Painful Transfers In MUBB History?

[Galway Eagle]

A person posted this question on Reddit and it got me wondering. If all else in their career trajectory happened as it did at MU who hurt the most leaving?

Obvious answer is Sam

Other contenders are Deonte and McKay, Maymon probably Mbakwe

Garcia & Joey, put up decent numbers but seemed way over ranked in HS. Haanif & Christopherson got pretty good their final years but were average prior. Taylor did well in the mid majors his last year.

Who else truly hurt leaving and watching their success elsewhere? (Non grad transfer)

Odartey would have helped in 2004.

Not a transfer but LeDarryl killed me.

The stories on each are so fascinating and so specific.

Sam
Jeronne
Odartey


Garcia didn't hurt.   Any transfer that becomes a punchline at the banquet three years later can't hurt too much.

Jameel’s departure was an omen for that season.

Would have been nice to have Mbkawe but I’m not sure how those rosters are different if he stays.

It’s Sam, though his departure hastened the end of the Wojo era.  Odartey is probably a close second

Story time? Did I miss something?

I second the Odartey Blankston call above. Very good looking player and could have been a key piece when he left.

At the end of the first post, Dodds references a remark Shaka dropped about a player leaving who thought MU was going to stink and now Oso is better than that player.

Karon Bradley would have helped as a point guard

[We R Final Four]

Not a transfer…..but when Joe Wolf declared for UNC , My Grandpa almost cried. My Uncles were yelling and swearing. They knew that the slope was slipping and weren’t too happy.

I agree and also think he could have helped in the Final Four.
