Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4257826, member: 1609"] Actually the most successful transfers we’ve had Cole and Purvis Cole because of the position he played and Rodney because he was real productive. Purvis actually has a ring as a Redshirt in 2014 . Don’t sell that short . Going against a great athlete every day is a luxury. Plus he either lead the team in scoring or was runner up the next three years. Scoring around 1300 pts in 3 years . He was instrumental in an AAC tourney championship and scored 19pts in our Cal NCAA win. and 17 against 1 seed Kansas as he a Sterling Gibbs (another forgotten guy )lead a heroic but futile comeback in that 32 game. Some guys disappear on the big stage. Some get better. He was forced to play the three at 6’3” and he had him on this years team at the 2 we would still be playing. He didn’t fold like a cheap suit on the big stage , His career was great by any measure , he like Rudy Gay are diminished because of the BY penchant for overhyped and when player can’t meet those expectations he is dismissed as a failure. Unfair but typical of fans. [/QUOTE]
