Apologies for a bit of Sunday night rambling here, but I think it’s important for players and parents to understand the shift in recruiting over the past 2 years and why it’s so important to focus on development and networking. Cast a wide net early on and make sure you find coaches who know people AND who personally care about your development.

If you want to look at the data I used from the NCAA, check out these links:

Division 1 transfer numbers

Division 2 transfer numbers

I also found this article which mentioned that 60% of players who transferred to a “Power-6” conference saw their minutes decline

Exciting stuff coming up on the podcast as well. I’ve been invited to help cover the Hoopfest games coming to Utah County 11/20-22. Big time teams heading to the Beehive state, so get your tickets soon!
