I don't know what approach I'd take as a coach at some of these schools with extreme transfer rates. On one hand you take the high school approach and really try to build it from the bottom. But, say you sign 8 high school kids ... 5 of them may be gone by the following season. As a coach (employee) ... how many years will you get to make your job secure?
You can take the transfer and JUCO path (the old Slippery Rock approach). Some years it will work. Other years it will be a disaster. Sometimes it will end in a total mutiny in the middle of camp.
If you can't establish a firm program culture, it's just going to be a revolving door.
I don't know what all went on behind the scenes at Glenville State or why all those kids left after just having a really good season. But, that's sickening to see.
Up here, California is going through the same thing. Sancomb has lost at least one stud every off-season so far.
It's easier than ever before to transfer. The numbers don't lie.
