What's this?

I agree, plenty of really good players don't get drafted


The point was made in Buffhooper's post that the talent level between the Pac-12 and the Ivy league is huge ... and I was just trying to confirm or refute that by using the most objective data I could think of.

My point wasn't to say these transfers can't/won't help us. The point is that when taking transfers from the Ivy League it is "buyer beware" as the overall talent levels between the two leagues don't seem to be remotely close to the same level.

Here is another stat that reaffirms the same message. Currently there is one Ivy League player playing in the NBA ... the Pac-12 has 65 (including 3 Buffs, McKinley, White, Dinwiddie).
