I was thinking about the Hazel and Mbawke, et al transfers and there cumulative effect on MU basketball. At this moment, it seems like an after-thought with the new ranking(s) of the incoming class.
But we should NOT be as worried as Florida fans.
Their program's going down the tubes FAST.
"Donovan to lose another Gator
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida forward Alex Tyus, the team's second-leading scorer last season, has decided to transfer.
Coach Billy Donovan announced Tyus' departure Friday, a move that leaves the Gators with little frontcourt depth heading into next season.
Guard Nick Calathes declared for the NBA draft, forward Allan Chaney opted to transfer and incoming freshman DeShawn Painter asked to be released from his scholarship. Throw in Marreese Speights (left early for NBA), Jonathan Mitchell (transferred last spring), and Jai Lucas (transferred just days before this past season), and Donovan could lose as many as seven players in about a year.
Tyus, a sophomore from St. Louis, averaged 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds last season."
OUCH!
This is both a negative and a positive... this means Donovan needs to get on the horn for next year... show big time recruits the room to play, and get a giant recruiting class....
