Transfer Talk: Possible Intra-Conference A-A Moves By Thompson & Wheeler

Since they frequently can't trust their counterparts, forbidding intra-conference player transfers usually was on league meeting agendas for coaches and ADs. But many alliances finally are seeing the light and backing off their dogma. Previously, there was little mention of the double standard whereby coaches aren't denied a right to do the same thing. We don't recall former UW coach Bo Ryan raising a stink about intra-conference transfers when Sharif Chambliss led Wisconsin in assists and three-pointers in nearly guiding the Badgers to the 2005 Final Four in his lone season with them after leaving Penn State. But Ryan, clearly perturbed when Jarrod Uthoff left UW and wound up at Iowa, likely would still be on the Badgers' sideline gunning for another top four finish in the Big Ten Conference if Uthoff had remained in Madison and the mentor exercised a mite more self-control. Instead, Uthoff joined John Lucas III (Baylor to Oklahoma State in Big 12) as the only players in NCAA history to become an All-American after transferring within a league. OSU may have another potential A-A guard on its roster when Bryce Thompson joined the Cowboys after leaving league rival Kansas. Ditto playmaker Sahvir Wheeler after switching from Georgia to Kentucky among numerous such transfers in the SEC plus Tyrese Hunter in the Big 12 (from Iowa State to Texas).

In regard to priorities, there is virtually no word on coaches and conferences wanting the NCAA to introduce guidelines to determine a penalty to enforce if a player is caught doing drugs, committing domestic violence or taking no-show classes. At any rate, CollegeHoopedia.com is unaware of the following players extensive trouble because they transferred within a league:
