[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 951794, member: 4110"] Good article. Okay, so now the 4* prospects are not ready to impact in the college game as Freshmen, and they are not willing to accept that they will not be impact players in their Freshmen years, but why is that? I think that is the meat of the issue right there. Freshmen transfer because of a mismatch between their expectations and reality. Why is there a mismatch between the expectations of these players and reality? I think the pat answer is that recruiters try selling the kids the dream that they will be impact players and it is a false promise. But I don't think that is it. Rather, there has been a seismic shift in Public School educational priorities in the last four decades that have now matured to fully nurture these children with a social reality of "inclusivity," which is hostile to the notions of open competition and unfettered meritocracy, presenting competition as being the exploitational construct of a ruling class hellbent on maintaining bigoted social hierarchies (The short-hand euphemism of this is that kids are no longer raised to expect equal opportunity but to be guaranteed an equal outcome). Then these kids hit college and are slapped in the face with the naked open competition of college athletics and they perceive themselves being victimized by social injustice , which is how they have been taught to perceive open competition. So, they freak and transfer thinking it must be better anyplace else. Some adapt, others fall out. That is my theory and I'm sticking to it. [/QUOTE]
