Transfer portal

That might just be the best case scenario for a new coach. Throw out the trash and start over. Teams have shown you can rebuild immediately through transfers and the portal.
 
How many players from the MVC in the past few years since the "Portal" has been in full swing...

...have transferred "up" and ....
-gotten as much or more playing time
-been an impact player
-been part of a good, successful team
-accolades, All-Conference, or notable individual success
-or gotten to play or start in the post-season?

**not talking money or NIL benefits - just the main things kids really want when they play college ball

I can think of 4 or 5 ...out of the 80-100 or so players who have transferred from MVC teams the past 3-4 yrs
Reeves, Horne (altho now Horne is apparently unhappy & transferring again)
...maybe Robbins, but he's had to transfer a 2nd time over 3 more seasons to actually get notable success- yet
he still never played in the post-season like he certainly would have a few times at Drake.
- maybe Tyreke Key, altho his playing time & scoring plummetted and he was not a regular starter.
Key went from being an MVC Player of the Year candidate, to being a reserve or 6th man.
LaRavia, is in the NBA but Wake didn't make the post-season & who's to say he wouldn't have gotten to the NBA at InSU?

but the vast majority who have transferred appear to have possiby fallen a bit short of stunning success..
Mosley flamed out at Mizzou, East wasn't even a starter, Roberts played on team that finished low in the standings,
Nolan, Kingsby, Price, Thomas, Gabriel & McAdoo all kinda disappeared, Kent rode the bench,
Yesufu played on a top team but ultimately was unhappy with playing time and is transferring again,
and almost all the rest from the MVC also kinda disappeared - guys that were top MVC players, Smits, Evelyn, Clay
and dozens of others.....etc ...were at best lateral moves...

Hard to say for sure, but seems to me they largely didn't get what would be expected from their portal experience.

Good points! I have thought about doing a study on where all the transfer players actually went, up, down or lateral

Most of the valley players that went to bigger schools have played less minutes and do not start for their teams. I do not see Jones or Domask starting next season. I guess it comes down to what players are actually looking for when they leave a school that they were starters and end up not playing as much for their new one.

As noted above, Belmont lands a portal transfer from North Carolina- Will Shaver, a 6'10" redshirt-freshman forward originally from Birmingham, Alabama. He was a 3-star, Top 150 player out of high school. He chose North Carolina over offers from Stanford, Illinois, Wake Forest, Purdue, Iowa, Florida State, Georgetown, Alabama, Virginia Tech and others. He enrolled at UNC in January, 2022, but did not play in any games in the 2021-22 season, and apparently received a redshirt year. In 2022-23, his stats show he appeared briefly in 3 games (a total of 6 minutes), and scored a total of 2 points on free throws, and had 1 rebound.

Stats- https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...38/will-shaver
Game log- https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...38/will-shaver

Reports are that he injured his foot (fractured bone in his foot) last December after playing in those 3 games, had surgery, and did not play again after that.
