I was curious about some of the guys who left and how they were doing at their new locations. Alot of guys are playing really well, I know money plays a factor in alot of this but why couldn't we keep some of that talent we had on the roster? If we had a few of these guys still, I think our season would look a little different:

Riley Kugel 17.7 ppg 2.6 rpg 3.1 apg at UCF
Mike Nwoko 19 ppg 5.4 rpg 76% FG at LSU
Martavious Russell 16.7 ppg 3.1 rpg 1.1 apg at ULM
Keshawn Murphy 12.4 ppg 5.4 rpg 1.8 apg at Auburn

To a lesser extent Kanye Clary and Trey Fort are both at 7 ppg at Oklahoma State and Michigan state respectively and I would take them both on this team right now. At the end of the day recruiting is what matters and keeping your best players matter as well. As you can see we lost alot of talent and didn't replace it well at all. Again I know money plays a factor now but according to some who have more insight, some of those players were offered what they wanted but still left. Of our new transfers the only one that gives me hope is Epps and on occasion Mcghee... hopefully we can get this thing turned around because one thing about basketball is we have plenty of time and opportunity to get back on track. It starts against SMU next game, we desperately need a solid non conference win.
