I believe the number last year was over 400 transfers within D-1.


Powell and King . . . of course, King was a VU target at one time.

This mention of Kedren Johnson is not noteworthy since his "out-of-shape" condition was chronicled on this board and every other platform:


Kedren Johnson, the transfer from Vanderbilt, had high expectations after leading the Commodores in scoring and assists in 2012-13, but he sat the entire 2013-14 season, and was out of shape once arriving in Memphis.

Look at the attrition rate (something we have familiarity with as VU fans):



Powell and King are the latest two players from Pastner's highly touted 2013 recruiting class to transfer from the program. The class consisted of Austin Nichols, Kuran Iverson (dismissed this season for a violation of team rules and officially transferred to Rhode Island), Dominic Woodson (transferred to Tennessee before the 2014-15 season), Markel Crawford, King and Powell. Only two players from that class, Nichols and Crawford, remain with the Tigers. The class was rated no. 3 overall by ESPN.
