Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 4567074, member: 6485"] One reason I liked the sit out rule is it gave people a reason to pause before throwing their name in the hat to transfer. I think there are plenty of very good reasons to transfer and I don't believe any player should have been blocked by a coach from leaving or leaving for a particular destination, and I know both happened. I do think that students mature between their HS and college days and have a better idea of what they want and what is a better fit. Coaching changes can also upset the apple cart and I hold nothing against anyone who does that. Additionally, COVID Year and Grad transfers don't really get to me as they are mainly players looking for better opportunities. However, I will maintain that I don't think 1300 college kids made a bad choice, had a coaching change, or want better academic opportunities. I believe many want to play their game on their terms and frankly enjoy the attention and adoration of being recruited again by someone else. I believe it's more about player ego and their goals. That doesn't mean I think transferring is bad but I think the sit out one year rule should still be in effect. Now I will go outside and shake my fist at a cloud from my front porch rocking chair or something. [/QUOTE]
