Well the obvious difference is that you have a much higher rate of roster turnover.
Will it be working when Oriakhi transfers in to complement Clyburn?

Re: Here's an item from the QC Times last summer..
There is nothing contradictory about opposing a loophole in theory while still taking advantage of it if the opportunity presents itself.
You would be a fool not to.

I am not sure how you arrived at this conclusion. He either said he wants to be closer to home, which wouldnt make him a liar unless he went to a school further away from Minneapolis. Or he said he wanted to be "close" to home, which is pretty open to interpretation. Had he said he wanted to be closest to home and still play DI basketball I think you may have something here. However, he did not. Minnesota is the obviously choice as it is the closest, but not the only DI school that is "close" or "closer".
I will end this by saying it is pretty damn classy to get on a forum and create the idea that its possible a student athlete transferring schools to be closer to his dying mother is a liar. Someone you have never met, nor know anything about.

The Clowns fans are getting pretty cocky on this board. It's going to be pretty entertaining when this transfer method comes back to bite them on the @ss.

White is the only one with a record.
Babb has never been in trouble nor has Booker. I'm sure Allen was tossed for smoking a little to much

Iowa City is about two and a half days drive closer to home than is Tempe.

LOL. You Clone fans really think Fred was the first coach to ever take a transfer, don't you?
Go look at Huggins early teams at Cincy or some of Tark's teams at UNLV. They made a living on bringing in transfers. It's nothing new.

I was being facetious, but unfortunately this site doesn't have a jimlad icon.
Chris Allen did make the academic all big 12, so he can't be too much of an idiot.
Did they bring in 6 non-Juco transfers on one roster?
Mebbe so, but the way you all were deriding the strategy, it sure seemed novel.

What's the difference between bringing in juco transfers and non juco transfers?
Off the top of my head, generally more potential academic issues, and risk of not panning out due to level of competition.

So if a coach is trying to copy Hoiberg by taking transfers is he going to actively tamper with opposing school's players? Otherwise how else is a coach going to plan to copy him with only taking D-1 transfers?
Fred just got lucky that there happened to be a high number of quality players from the upper midwest transferring. It was more luck than some kind of grand plan.
You copy it by proactively recruiting these kids like you do incoming freshmen, vetting them extensively, drawing on previous recruitment and relationships with coaches, etc.
I guess I'm not sure it was luck. There were something like 50 schools pursuing Royce. Is it luck that he picked ISU? He's credited Fred's experience and personality.
A Venn diagram would be nice, too.

A big part of it, yes. Royce couldn't transfer to another B10 school without sitting out an extra year, he was scared to fly to Kentucky, ISU happened to be in a great location for him. Same for the MSU guys. Clyburn already had ties to Iowa.
