Some of these transfers just don't make much sense. This is 1 of them. Follows his coach across the country.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
I did not want Luis to leave, but to be fair I didn’t want Bassy to leave last year either. I do think Bassy is a better fit for uptempo and a better true PG, but Luis was a tough kid and good player. Are we really going to be uptempo? Remember, with Fuchs and Green we are not at all fast!

Is it totally unrealistic to hope/think they could bring in guys (that we haven't considered) that would be among the top 3 players on the team? And everyone slide down a slot? Or two?
