Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3458616, member: 199"] The problem is that the lesser schools typically have one superior player so losing that one player is devastating to the team and can make an immediate impact on a conference and the NCAA. Think an EDD being snatched from Delaware (forgetting that she had transferred once before in this example); any good team that got her would be an instant FF favorite and Delaware would disappear back into obscurity. This is more of an issue with the men since the whole reason the mid-majors in the men's field are so good is most of their players play all four years and develop chemistry - take their best player away each year for some P5 program and you create less parity which supposedly is what makes the men's game so good. But it could screw up the women's game as well. There are enough good players out there on mediocre teams that Baylor, Uconn, SC etc. could easily become recipients of not just recruiting success but also destinations for quick transfers of significant talent. No question it would have been nice to get Azura and have her available day 1 or Evina this year, but I am not sure I like the idea of that kind of changing landscape year to year. I like the development process in WCBB over 4 years and I hate the hired gun/one and done process that is MCBB [/QUOTE]
