Funny to think about those teams now
Curbelo- St John’s 17-14, no tourney
Podz - Santa Clara 23-9, pretty good season and he killed it but: no tourney
Adam Miller- LSU 13-19 dumpster fire, no tourney
BBV- South Carolina 11-20 dumpster fire, no tourney
Omar Payne- Jacksonville 11-16 no tourney
JG- Duke 23-8, yes tourney
The only guys you could argue the transfer worked for was Podz and that’s only on a personal NBA level, as well as Grandison at Duke but that was a gimme tourney team. I also am aware that some of those guys were probably asked to move on. But imagine all of them would have been on a successful tourney team had they stayed.
I guess the grass is really greener….
I’m still in the camp of having Grandison back would have really helped, even though we were already super deep on the wing. Experienced dude who knew the system, more-than-capable 3-point shooter, and would have been a clear leader as a senior. Then again, I’m not in the locker room and don’t know if he even wanted to stick around.
