MVC - Basketball Players in the 2020 Transfer Portal

[BEARZ77]

I agree with tribe in that winning helps keep players, but there's alot of factors in play. Actually in conference play over a 4 year period the programs with the most wins and best conference finishes have been :

Loyola 48 wins
Illinois State 41 wins
SIU 40 wins
UNI 39 wins
Bradley 36 wins
Drake 35 wins
MSU 33
Indiana St 31
UE brought up the rear and Valpo only had 3 years.

Of course Bradley won the last two tourneys which helps. Drake had multiple coaching changes, but has had a history for some time of losing top players . Indiana State really hasn't lost many as I recall, and actually until the year in between Marty and Walter UE hadn't lost much. Lusk lost a number of quality players and of course Ford has had alot of player movement though I can't say he's lost any real studs , Church being the most glaring last year. But coaching changes probably effect losses as much as anything.

Valley has not lost 3 of it's top 8 returning players to transfer now in JFL, Robbins, and Deandre Williams.

That hurts the league overall big time.

I was just going to say essentially the same thing. How can the MVC keep up when our best players are transferring? Now imagine how bad it will be when they are guaranteed immediate eligibility.

Krutwig isn't transferring. AJ Green isn't transferring. Austin Phyfe isn't transferring. Elijah Childs isn't transferring. Tyreke Key isn't transferring.

Guys who transferred played on teams that played on Thursday.

I agree but Valpo played on Sunday too...

Being hot for 3 days, and still not winning Arch Madness, doesn't make up for 4 straight Thursdays

Three, but who's counting

Right. Valpo has not been good since joining the MVC.

He was a walk-on who earned a scholarship for Spring semester when ISU didn't add a mid-year sit out transfer. He played some good minutes a couple of games but I'd imagine he wants to get real minutes as a grad transfer at D2 or low D1. Academically, he should be able to grad transfer with 2 years at UIS, one sit out and one play at ISU.
