Message: [QUOTE="PJCLaw, post: 3137503, member: 7433"] While having too much spare time on my hand, I was curious about what percentage of UCONN WBB student athletes have transferred during the last decade. I didn't have the type of time to do a comparison with other schools, but I was surprised UCONN's transfer rate was lower than I thought. Soooooo here it goes: (Incoming) Class of 2009-Kelly Faris (graduated)-[B]0%[/B] Class of 2010-Bria Hartley, Stefanie Dolson, Samari Walker (T), Lauren Engelin (T) and M. Johnson (T)-[B]60% (3 out of 5)[/B] Class of 2011-KML, Kiah Stokes, and B. Banks (T)-[B]33% (1 out of 3)[/B] Class of 2012-Moe Jeff, Stewie, and Morgan Tuck- [B]0%[/B] (IMO a once in a lifetime talented class, TASSK is second) Class of 2013-Saniya Chong-[B]0%[/B] Class of 2014-Gabby Williams, Kia Nurse, Sadie Edwards (T), and Courtney Ekmark (T)-[B]50% (2 out of 4)[/B] Class of 2015-KLS, Precious II, and D. Boykins (T)-[B]33% (1 out of 3)[/B] Class of 2016-Danger, Molly Bent, and K. Irwin-[B]0%[/B] Class of 2017-Megatron, M. Coombs (T), AEH (T), and Lexi Gordon (T)-[B]75% (3 out of 4) [/B] Class of 2018-Squeaks and ONO-[B]0% [/B](really too early to tell, but my gut says both Squeaks and ONO stay and graduate) Beginning with Kelly Faris in 2009, a total of [B]29 [/B]student-athletes have signed (no walk ons were included for obvious reasons) and [B]10[/B] have transferred, making the transfer rate [B]34%[/B]. Four classes had no one transfer (although, to be fair, two classes only had one player sign, but a class is a class!), five classes had at least one player transfer, and the freshmen are too early to tell but were counted anyway. However, if we exclude the freshman class, the transfer rate only rises to [B]37%[/B]. I would imagine that this rate is either on par or lower than the top P5 schools, especially the Baylors, SC, MD, and may be even ND. If someone knows or has has time to compile the rates for those other schools, please share, it would be much appreciated. IMO, a rate of having slightly more than 1 out of 3 student-athletes transfer is the cost of doing business and not alarming at all, especially when no student-athlete who transferred during that time became even a third team AA (see my previous post about this).
