Mt. Saint Mary loses 5 out of 6 players because

Postby Xavier2005 » Tue May 02, 2017 9:02 pm

Transferring out to bigger and better schools or what ever is IN. Mt Saint Mary won their Conference and made the NCAA Tournament this past year. Looking for all 6 of his top players to return.....but 5 of the 6 players have chosen to transfer and leave the school for bigger and better school programs. TRANSFERRING or just leaving seems to be the thing for players these days.

The grass is always greener syndrome but they forget that the "green" is usually surrounded by traps.

My guess is that there is probably more to the story, and more than just a desire to play at a "bigger" program behind this decision to transfer.1 or 2 players? OK. 5 of the TOP 6? Hmmm

"every mid-major player believes they should probably be playing at a higher level"

On Monday night, it was Miles Wilson, a promising freshman guard from Baltimore who averaged 11.8 points this past season. He announced that he would be transferring out of Mount St. Mary’s, standing at 6-foot-5, is likely to garner attention from some high-major programs. Wilson followed Elijah Long, a 6-foot sophomore point guard that averaged 15.0 points and 4.4 assists this past season, out the door. Long has already taken a visit to Texas.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Redshirt sophomore Mawdo Sallah left the program and transferred to UNC Wilmington while redshirt junior Charles Glover left as well, both as grad transfers. Seldom-used Randy Miller transferred as well.
