With transfers at an all-time high, the blame game is played
by many. Is it the schools fault or are the prospects the reason for
discontent? How about concluding that
some decisions are just bad fits for student athletes and the schools. Here
are a couple of local kids that found greener pastures by transferring to
different schools.
Len'Nique Brown- The
former Wagner PG is playing 29.7 minutes a game, starting all 10 games for NC
State. Brown played her freshman year at USC before joining the Wolfpack. Le'Nique
is averaging 9.4 points and 3 assists a game. The Wolfpack are 7-3 on the
season.
Cassie Peoples-
What many people don't realize is that peoples is a SA product. She was raised
in SA until 7th/8th grade. Peoples initially suited up for the University of
Texas. She is currently the starting PG for the University of Florida. She is
leading the team in scoring (10.6) and assists (4.0). She is playing 27.7
minutes a game.
Erica Donovan- Donovan
lead John Jay to the state semis during her senior season. She initially signed
on to play at NC State, transferring after her freshman season. Donovan leads
her Bowling Green quad in scoring (14.6 ), rebounding (8.3 ), and FG %(45%) while
playing 30 minutes a game.
Transfers are a part of the business of college sports. The
three players mentioned are examples of transfers working out for both sides.
Texas is currently in the Top 10 in the country, USC had the #15 recruiting
class in 2014 and NC State was a Top 20 team in 2013-14. Both players and the
programs have moved on for the better.
