Not one of them would have played on this team. All made wise decisions to leave and get some playing time. Jackson would have got some PT if he was healthy.
 
Mark me down as surprised that Jelani would arguably be the most impressive in that list.
 
So far we haven't had a player leave under TJ that makes me go "damn I wish he were still a Cyclone." It's still amazing how wrong everyone was evaluating Omaha. Where he goes next should be interesting. I remember people worrying he'd just be a 1 or 2 year and done player here when he signed. Then as his freshman season went on and he never looked the part of a big-time recruit in the time he was on the floor you wondered how he was ranked as high as he was out of HS.

Of that group above Hamilton may be the best of the bunch, but I doubt he would of cracked our 8 man rotation when he would have been competing against Toure, Batemon, and Heise for minutes.

Turned out to be very good transfer decisions for Jelani, Nojus and Jackson. Am surprised that Demarion wasn't more of a force for NM. Always was a big fan of his at ISU.
Turns out his lack of actual ball skill continued to follow him at North Texas. I seem to remember TJ, or maybe it was a teammate rave about him having the most NBA potential on the roster his freshman year. One of those quotes that never should have been reported.

Tyrese Hunter is the only one. Tamin ended up being better, so it didn't matter, but he would've been nice to have TJ's 2nd year when we struggled to create offense.
