Everyone wants playing time and there are only so many plays to give. People are too impatient to be a depth player, evidently.
If you are having a hard time making a 2 deep at a P5 school like ISU would think your options for more playing time probably are not going to be at another P5 school unless you are looking at programs at the bottom of a P5 conference such as Kansas? I get these kids want to play and don't fault them for seeking out other opportunities but what we have going on in this program right now with a coaching staff that has proven to develop talent sometimes the grass is not always greener but then again maybe certain guys see the writing on the wall that there are just too many better guys at their position that they will not be able to beat out.

Though some players certainly could be good enough, but are in a stacked position at their current school.

A lot of Campbell's "misses" would have been "contributors" under several previous regimes.
I don't necessarily disagree, but the fact that 19 kids are transferring tells me that the staff has had the same realization. Now, a few of those are head-scratchers, but generally most of them will have to play outside of the P5.

Or that what is a "miss" and what is a "developmental player" changes when everyone gets 6 years to play 5 for a while.

Very clever. Good for you, shows growth.

But I was asking that Iowa State fan what he was implying with his cryptic post.

Run along
Not everyone has an agenda like you. Sometimes people post information to allow people to draw their own conclusions. I know I do that a lot, but I get a fair share of negative reactions because people don't like the facts.

Haha. He didn’t just post that for no reason. You can read his search history and see that.

So I was wanting to get his perspective.
