An interesting transfer portal list ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
All 10 B12 schools there. But the list is confusing. Is it saying Tennessee had 25 players transfer while Stanford only had 1? I'd have thought ISU would have been much higher with CTJO's housecleaning. (edit - thanks @enisthemenace. I see it's a Football thread now. So not sure why it's so "interesting".)

What’s the “interesting” part, Surly? Besides the fact that we haven’t had ten players enter the portal in that time frame?
I’m counting three Super Senior grad transfers (Azunna, Bailey and Lang), Latrell Bankston (who was blocked at DT by a starter and freshman), Skylar Loving-Black, who apparently has personal issues, walk-on Devin Larsen, and Greg Ross—who never actually made it here from UNC.
That isn’t ten. It’s actually…two.
I interpret the list differently. I think Stanford has the least transfers and Tennessee has the most. So the schools are just ranked 1 - 25.
And they just go by sheer numbers. They don't distinguish between losing a good player or losing a walkon. So, this list is as close to meaningless as the 2020 Pac 12 season.

Yeah there are. They are just walkons that no one has heard of. Didn’t Ogamba transfer? That’s one. And what about Sichterman?

I get the sentiment, but every school could list out “reasonings” like this. A transfer is a transfer no matter the reasoning. It’s also stupid to think that it has some deep meaning like I think Surly was trying to do. In this modern day of college athletics, transfers are going to happen all of the time, for all sorts of reasons, for every team. I don’t think it’s some harbinger of failure.
Last year Surly was butthurt because so nene pointed out the flood of underclassmen who were bailing on the program. I assume he/she posted this to show we had “almost” the same numbers, ten to fourteen.
I don’t consider sixth year “Super Senior” guys looking for one last chance to start to fall under the same category of the point Surly was trying to make. Those three spent the full five normal years as Cyclones.
I am pretty consistently a Surly critic, but I don't have a problem with her posting this. I think it is informative.
If you look at it innocently and separate from their previous comments it's not a big deal but like the post above yours says, it's clearly a troll job trying to gloss over why the program they root for was losing underclassmen.
Reading between the lines, the actual thread title is something like "See you guys lost players too..."
