Huge loss for the Redturds! He was arguably their best player and only a sophomore.

These kids today will be through their eighth spouse by the time they're 30. Riddance. Mercy.

For the most part, yeah.  Transfers have been a problem for the Redturds for a few years now.  Not sure why they're bothering keeping Muller at this point.  It's like H*****'s last year except the Turds will likely be a Thursday team.

Buyout...that has to be the only thing at this point. Unless a donor steps up they have another year or two of Mueller.

Didn't see this one coming, guess Drake isn't completely running it back

That’s a tough one for Drake...thinking some bigger schools probably got in his ear after his performance at the tourney this year.

The sheer volume of transfers and especially the rate at which top midmajor talent is transferring is tough to stomach. This kid is a gem, and it's the second straight year a stud player has left Drake, despite the program being very much on the upswing. With DeVries' kid coming in and everyone else returning, they could have absolutely been a top-25 team next year.

If you're not a power conference team fan and instead root for one of the other 275+ DI programs, you're pretty much screwed with the way rampant transferring is changing the game.

If it weren't for the fact that I really like the Mullins hire and the kids that are in the SIU program right now, my interest in college hoops would be waning, and that's as someone who has loved the sport since I was a kid.

Big loss for Drake. Even though Roman Penn was 1st team all conference I thought Yesufu was a better PG, especially the way he played the 2nd half of the year. He is a big time talent!

That hurts for the Redbirds and Drake; Yesufu must have had the big programs calling

The big joke is - it is a violation for another program to contact a player until he has already entered the transfer portal. I believe back channels are commonly used to open a covert dialog. The violation is so abused programs may not even be that covert anymore...

Terrible loss for Drake. Man, do I feel for the fans of that program.

I've found my interest in college basketball waning in recent years already anyway. Outside of SIU and March Madness, I just haven't been watching. With this disgusting transfer epidemic, if SIU still had their previous coach, we already know half of our roster would be turning over every year. If that was our current reality, I'd have likely turned away entirely.
