#7 spent a lot of time as a bench player here, making an obvious point about roster strength.

Not only scoring, rebounds, and assists, he also led the team in steals and blocks.

I kind of understand the people who want to put Kane ahead of White, but putting anyone else ahead of him is nuts. I think people are forgetting that White's team was only an 8 seed. Without White, that's not a tournament team. There were games where you could say he "disappeared" (he had 4 games with under 10 points in Big 12 play). But in those games, he was putting up 7+ assists and 7+ rebounds and doing enough to make sure the team won (they won all 4 of those games). There was one game where Royce played fewer than 5 minutes (the Mississippi State game, I don't remember why he barely played), Iowa State won that game by 2, at home. I think that probably shows his impact on that team.

I dont remember the last time we played Mississippi State in basketball, but it definitely wasnt during the 2011-2012 season.

8-11 is really tough for me, I could coin toss those four, probably depends on what a team needs.

*I like OP doing only D1 transfers

I like your list, but you've got Booker too low. Booker was definitely much more productive than Bowie, Brase, and Talley.

I'd probably rank Booker ahead of those guys, but I'm not sure I'd say he was definitely more productive than them. Bowie specifically was a really important bench piece during postseason play in his one season here.

Overall solid list.
I would swap Scotty C and WeillerBaab
And i would put Jake Anderson above McKay.

Jake is the transfer i always forget about, but once i remember he was a stud and had almost nobody around him

Agreed!

Any list that has Nick Babb above Chris Babb is flawed. Not a slam at Nick just the way it is.

Not sure I would have Nick Weiler Babb that high. Somewhere between 10-15. In fact, I liked his brother more.

I also think Jake Anderson is highly underrated because he was Hoiberg's first year when the team was .500ish. I would have put Jake top 5-7

I will always be a Nick Babb stan. He was our best overall defender last year and the best pick and roll defender by far, even while being hurt.
