KD once explained to me the plight of the mid-majors. If you want to field a team that has a chance to make some noise comprimises have to be made when recruiting players. The P5 schools gobble up all the sure bet players. Some of them may never see the floor, but hey they played for Duke, NC, etc... That leaves guys who have talent but also some baggage that scared away the big schools. Guys like Tree(bad temper), BigDog(weight issues), Harney(weed, attitude), etc... For a mid-major coach to be successful he has to juggle all these guys with problems and find enough other role players to put together a winning team. Sometimes those combinations just don't work out. With the advent of the transfer rules it has made it easy for players and coaches to get a divorce.

KD homers/Groce critics-

I ventured back to the Duquesne fan forum. Apparently 9 of the 17 players he recruited to Duquesne have already transferred. Add in the 2 players that he inherited who decided to transfer and he is on average losing 5 players per year.

Thanks for compiling that info. Of our 4 transfers, the only transfer of real consequence is Utomi. Frankly, I'm relieved Poke and Kostelac's scholarships are freed up. Gueye was an intriguing prospect, but nothing more than that.

I just scanned the Transfer Portal list on VerbalCommits. Leader with the most transfers out is UMKC with 10. In the MAC: BGSU 0 BSU 0 Buff 0 WMU 1 TOL 1 Mia 1 CMU 1 Ohio 3 NIU 3 KSU 3 UA 4 EMU 6 Previously mentioned on this board is Duq with 5.

Defense 65! Free Tacos!

That's one small victory for @ZipsVoice, one giant ass-whooping for our Zips...

As I recall, the Zips beat them in Puerto Rico. They used real hoops instead of peach baskets in that one!

HA! Found my old media guide and...December 1993, 3rd game of the season. lost 71-43....
