Yes, transfers are more common these days but not at the rate that they have been happening at Utah the last several years. The national average is 14% when looking at transfers from one 4 year university to another 4 year university, while Utah’s is around 25%.
Why are so many more players transferring out of Utah than at other schools?
If the answer is anything along the lines of “those players weren’t a good fit” or “they had problems” or “they weren’t very good anyway” then it is still a coaching fail for not properly vetting the players they are recruiting.
Bottom line: LarryK either has a player retention problem or he has a recruiting problem or he has both.
I’m fine giving him another year, especially with the size of his buyout, but if we have a mass exodus this offseason or next, Harlan would be have to be crazy not to look for a new coach.
