Re: Transfers
Just going back several years ... I can't think of a whole lot of Atlantic players playing overseas.
DeVante Chance did for a year. Norfleet, Seger Bonifant and Sleva are playing. Anthony Glover is playing in Mexico.
As Chuck said it really depends what level of league you get in over there. I remember reading Chance's comments that it wasn't nearly as glamorous as he thought it was going to be. He was in one of the lower leagues.
Shippensburg coach Chris Fite had a long career playing overseas.

If you do well in the lower league, then you move up individually (or as a team) to the next league up. Your current club does not hold you back.
It would seem to be better suited for skills development.
When you get to the premier league in a country, then salaries and benefits improve considerably - not at NBA level of course, but a very comfortable lifestyle.
This is just based on reading some articles by former Americans playing in Europe.
FWIW

Re: Transfers
Name to keep an eye on in the Atlantic:
Center Sasha Sukhanov (6'11", 240 lbs) is from Russia but played high school basketball at Teays Valley Christian (WV). He spent last season at Morehead State and has left the program. Three years' eligibility.
Obvious connection to Morehead State (IUP coach Joe Lombardi's son is an assistant there).
Pure speculation he lands in the Atlantic but wouldn't be shocked ...

Re: Transfers
I don't think players are much different than their non-playing counterparts. A small number take college very seriously and strive to get the highest grades in difficult courses to maximize the return on their investment...Probably the largest group does enough to get through but not a lot extra...A shockingly large number focus on "outside" things (be it basketball or partying...or perhaps both) and end up failing out rather quickly...And then a final group that decide that college just isn't their thing or get homesick and leave.
