Bball Team Quit after the UF Game

I was out of the country for the UK game, but it looked close.

I was at the UK game. That was the happiest I've ever been after a loss. The team tried hard and really put up a good fight, so I'll credit them for the UK game.

Is that how Ross, Brown and Clarkson want to end their careers?

I don't think they care about their college careers. They're concerned with the next level (wherever that may be *Europe*). They are NOT Mizzou guys, they're refugees. They could probably give 2 shits about Mizzou in 5 years.

I agree. Transfers tend to transfer because of a few things such as:
1) Picked the wrong place for them
2) Lack of willingness to work for something
3) Missed home

Items #1 and #2 are the types of transfers we have. These guys lack basketball IQ and have no idea how to work for something. They are looking for the easy way.

Gathering all these transfers has led to complete lack of chemistry, leadership and effort. The lack of Mizzou made upper classmen is killing this team. Leadership is something you develop within a program and Haith has nobody that has been there long enough to develop those qualities.

Consistency and experience MATTER in college hoops. Just look at UK. They have more talent than anyone and still struggle to be as good as they should be. They had one season where the stars aligned but they have been a mess the rest of the time. You don't need a team full of upper classmen but you have to have some in college, especially if you don't have the most talented team in the country.

I've given my opinion on transfers. I understand there once existed a need to balance out the classes but beyond that, I'm not a fan. I agree, though. They either transfer because they weren't good enough to play at their first school (in which case, why are we taking them), they had the talent but wouldn't work hard enough to get playing time (in which case, why are we taking them), they didn't get along with their coaches (in which case, why are we taking them) or they're home sick.
