This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think you have it right by BmoreIrish
My bet is that this will the highest year for transfers that we will see for the next 5-10 years because of the newness of it. I believe we will come to an equilibrium where players realize the grass isn't always greener, and coaches realize that finding the right fit in transfers who can play right away isn't easy in terms of team chemistry.
As we have seen with the one-and-dones on the men's side, you can catch lightning in a bottle with a group of new players but it can also really go sideways. Most coaches don't want to operate with such instability. The ones who think creatively will thrive.
