Power Transfers: Playing For 3 Different Elite Schools Becomes More Common
September 18th, 2017 - 19:13
Guard Kevin Brown averaged a modest 5.7 ppg in his college career but generated news by competing with four different NCAA Division I schools (Tulane 11/Louisiana-Lafayette 13-14/New Orleans 15/American 16-17). None of the institutions was a power-conference member. Brown duplicated forward Andy Jensen's feat of performing for three different DI colleges in the same state (Southern Utah 93/Utah 95-96/Weber State 98-99).
Triple transfers are becoming more commonplace. Following are individuals who played for three different power-league members or schools reaching Final Four at some point in their history:
