TRANSFERS HAVE REACHED MASSIVE PROPORTIONS IN DIVISION I, WITH MORE THAN 400 PLAYERS CHANGING SCHOOLS LAST SEASON. THESE SECOND-CHANCE RECRUITS WERE SNAPPED UP BY TOP PROGRAMS—BUT NOT ALL OF THEM ARE BULL'S-EYE CHOICES TO LEAVE A BIG MARK IN THEIR NEW ROLES
1 RYAN HARROW
N.C. STATE > KENTUCKY
He reportedly out-played first-round draft pick Marquis Teague in practice last year; now, the 6'2" sophomore will run point for John Calipari's newest stars.
2 ROTNEI CLARKE
ARKANSAS > BUTLER
The 6-foot senior guard is one of the nation's best three-point shooters (43.8% in 2010--11), and he'll be key as the Bulldogs transition to the A-10.
3 ALEX ORIAKHI
UCONN > MISSOURI
The senior center brings national championship experience and bulk (6'9", 255 pounds) to a team that was one of the shortest in D-I last year.
