The Brew Thinks There Might Be Some Oversights, Sports Illustrated
Forget freshmen, transfers are the new prized recruits in college hoops - SI.com
- Pete Thamel of Sports Illlustrated wrote a very interesting piece on the new, effective transfer culture in college basketball. And despite all the accounts and examples, he overlooked Missouri's Jordan Clarkson (transfer from Tulsa) and our very own man-child, Rayvonte Rice, both of whom could finish the year leading their conference in scoring. The Clarkson-Rice showdown in St. Louis for the Braggin' Rights contest will be the best story no one talks about, ever, but that was one hell of a game, and these are two fine ball players. Thamel's oversight isn't rare, but it's wrong. Give the kids their due.
Regardless, the piece is worth a read.
