Wow, it is almost like transfers happen everywhere, not just OSU.

College basketball’s transfer rate is the second-highest in the NCAA among male sports, where approximately 33% of players transfer at some point in their collegiate career.

Nearly 60% of transfers, instead of joining other D-I teams, have left D-I basketball completely since the 2012 offseason.

The idea that college basketball players tend to transfer to better teams is almost entirely a myth.

Imagine being Michigan, where the longtime starting PG just exhausted his eligibility, and now with an open starting position, the 4-star backup PG transfers instead of trying to take his turn at leading the team.

FWIW, here are the official data on NCAA transfers from January 2020.

It’s slightly less dire than the oft-referenced 2017 study on CBB transfers.
