Up-Transfers are Killing Cinderella

We have known this is a problem for years, but it is getting worse. Something has to give.

Holden would have been better off staying. I don't think he would have started here, but after starting early for Iowa State, he ended up only playing a few minutes the last 10 or so games. He never saw the floor in the 2 games played in the Dance.

I don't know if Holden could have seen the court for more than a couple minutes a game for us this year.

I think he could have been for 15-18 minutes a game

Maybe so. At the 4? He can't dribble very well.

IMHO he would have been the serviceable 4 that we never seem to have.

You guys got me wondering about Xavian Stapleton. Looks like he had a slightly better season in his first year at Miss St than he had here at Tech. But very comparable.

I don't think Stapleton is even a "2 and done" is he?

As much as I love college sports it is almost impossible to argue that on the very top level it has almost nothing to do with education and almost everything to do with money.
