I believe the new transfer rule will ruin College Basketball

It’s what caused Roy to hang em up a few years earlier. The college game looks so vastly different now than it did in the 80’s and 90’s and not in a good way. Doubtful the game ever returns to a product even half as good.
Roy benefited from 20+ years of cheating. Hard to get better than that
I'm actually excited about it.Baylor won it all with 3 transfers on their team.
Is that a statement or a question? I'm a little confused.
Cal will spin this in his favor. He banked on the OAD the first time around and exploited it to the max. It payed off in a big way. He loves to tout that he takes these kids with a genius and guides them to millions of dollars in the nba. He will do it again with the transfers. This time around he will claim to have taken all the broken toys and undervalued kids from smaller schools and guide them to a shot at their dream in the NBA.
Well the good news is that you're only immediately eligible 1 time. Get with the times.
I agree completely. The days of seeing guys like Liggins develop over a few years are gone. Many of my favorite UK players weren’t stars as freshman. Seeing guys like Willis go from bench warmers to key contributors isn’t nearly as likely now.
Even a good team made up of 1 year transfers isn’t as fun. Part of the enjoyment (for me anyways) is getting to know a player and watching him improve. Now even good teams will be a lot of 1 and dones, they’ll just be transfers instead of star freshman. I hope this transfer rule doesn’t ruin the game, but at this point I think it will.
Sadly none of my favorite sports as a kid are nearly as good of a product now. NFL used to have a segment called “Jacked Up” at halftime of the Monday night game where they showed big hits. Now most of those tackles would be a penalty, fine, or even ejection. Ray Lewis is considered one of the greatest LB’s of all time. He’d be ejected every game in today’s 2 hand touch league. College basketball is going straight down the toilet and NBA has basically been an uncontested 3 point contest for the last decade. The Shaq style era is gone. Maybe I just need to find a new sport to watch. I’m considering rugby haha.

Thank you for enlightening me Captain Obvious. Why people think they are cute and have to be a smart a** in a simple discussion is amazing. Grow up!!
I think it is good for the player. You can do a reset if you made a bad choice. And it may keep a kid in college at the next place rather than forcing him into the draft. Having to sit out basically forces that decision on you now because your option is limited to sitting out a year at the next college before playing in year 3. So it will help spread the talent around and level the playing field a bit. You just learn to use the portal in the way we have used HS. I think it could be a good thing.
I was just giving my opinion like you did on this fine Tuesday morning. Do you think your opinion is worth more than mine or something?
Funny you mention Liggins as the last one. Nick Richards was the most fun I’ve had watching a player develop into his junior year at UK. That was WAY back in 2019/2020.
I think a potential difference with the way Baylor did it and what it looks like now is all 3 of their transfers sat and practiced with the team for a year prior to playing. That has to be a huge benefit to the program. They weren’t recruiting these guys as transfers as a 1 year option, but guys to be a sustainable part of the program. Teague and Mitchell were both on their 3rd year at Baylor.
I didn’t say Liggins was the last one. He was just the first player that came to mind. I really enjoyed Richards too. New transfer rule will eliminate guys like that. There was talk the whole time Richards was going to transfer. He likely didn’t because of the sit out a year rule.
It is ok for one year but not many teams would ever have a stable roster if it were to become permanent. The sitting out a year is the best thing that's ever happened if you are going to want to transfer out everytime something pisses you off which is the way some kids are today. That teaches you some things about life, decisions have consequences so when you pick a school make sure your heart is in it. A lot of good players have almost left their schools but stayed and worked hard to overcome adversity and were glad they stayed. There are also some good reasons to transfer and sitting out is ok if the reason is strong enough. I think the rule was ok for this year because of Covid but now it's time to go back to the original rule.
I think its gonna revive college basketball. Who wants a raw OAD when you can get an experienced veteran. That's what i want. Sprinkle in a few OAD and stack with transfers and 3 to four year players.
I'm officially done with stacking 5 stars. Think we all are

I agree. The thought was good, but in reality, your post is spot on. It’s bad for college basketball.
I think it adds an element of excitement for me. I like seeing guys move. Its like an added recruiting season.
