Analyzing transfer & commitment patterns of top 100 recruits
Posted Jul 30, 2015
How often do elite basketball prospects transfer between high schools, commit and decommit to colleges, and transfer once they're in college? One-third of top-100 recruits go on to transfer in college, but that rate has risen in recent years. Their decisions are highly scrutinized but rarely quantified. This Sports Illustrated study does the latter, by tracking choices made by the Recruiting Services Consensus Index's Top 100 players from each of the past nine recruiting classes.
