Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3974329, member: 199"] While the 'free agency' is certainly a new phenom in college basketball, I don't think it really changes the balance of power. judicious transfers have had an impact on the game dating back at least to Bobbitt at TN (juco) for their 2007/2008 NCs and I believe some have mentioned a few TN transfers from way back as well that would lead to early PS NCs. ND, SC, and Baylor all rode transfers to NCs recently. And Uconn certainly has had a few recently as well. MD is probably the only team I can think of that really 'rebuilt' with transfers leading to real contention in this past year - but they are a well established program and their results were their typical average finish. I really don't expect a surprise contender emerging out of nothing - new coaches building programs may get a earlier boost with transfers, but the established programs will continue to pick and choose judiciously to augment their good recruiting classes and developing players.
