not a very strong showing for us so far.
I wouldn’t put too much stock in this particular list.

Why?I wouldn’t put too much stock in this particular list.
Because these types of lists are mostly offseason fodder. Is there really much difference in certainty of impact between #20 and #40? Fit is just as important. Maybe the top guys are sure bets, but even then you’ve got guys like the two going to UNC last year.Why?
Seems to me like they’re not putting enough stock into guys who are proven at the highest level as they should.https://www.espn.com/mens-college-b...-basketball-transfer-rankings-2020-21-2021-22

Well said. Ranking these mid major guys and trying to determine how they will translate to high majors seems like a crap shoot. That being said, some of the guys ranked above JCL on this list are ridiculous IMO. You got the ULM guy (who's best option ended up being UAB) ranked 12 spots ahead of JCL who has already proven to be a capable HM starter.Because these types of lists are mostly offseason fodder.

I know it’s not GT, but Jacobson was an afterthought transfer that filled in and fit well for our needs in 2018-19. Had he grad transfered in the spring, his transfer ranking would have been considerably higher than when leaving NU. We play him at the 4 next to Young, and his impact is less (although still at a level many programs are looking to add).

The lists being the only things wouldn’t change the stock you put into it imo. And they’re not the only thing. With most transfers you have complete games to watch and accurate stats. Many of these transfers have been tracked during the season in anticipation of their transfer. It’s like bracket predictions right now. You’re not going to put much stock in a team being viewed as in the first 4 out vs on the correct side of the bubble.The lists though are the only thing we have to look at how good the transfers are perceived as being. I mean it is the same as recruiting rankings. They aren't then end all and be all but they are useful. In addition, grad transfer ratings and other transfers are rated differently for good reason. Of course Jacobson would have had more suitors as a grad transfer than he did a couple years ago. The market for them is inflated because of immediate needs of schools.

I notice every single one declined in points and all but Clarke declined in rebounds too. Even players that moved lateral or down seemed to have difficulty in attaining the same level they had in the previous season at their old school. I am sure fit and familiarity had something to do with that.here are the top 15 from 2019-20

We can always hope for another Shayok, who doubled points, rebounds and assists at ISU vs last season at UVA.good call out
reason i am not as high on JCL as most. I would be happy with 9 ppg from him for ISU in 2020-21
ISU would be getting a player built for PF, but wants to play the wing and be the focus of the offense. Along with him comes a very vocal dad.
Sobering.here are the top 15 from 2019-20
