College basketball transfer portal winners and losers--cbssports.com
Once
upon a time, Robert Morris could have parlayed a strong season and
valiant effort in a first-round NCAA Tournament loss to Alabama into
something more. These days, the Colonials have no choice but to start
from scratch. The leading scorer from RMU's NCAA Tournament tangle with
the Crimson Tide, Amarion Dickerson, is headed to USC. The second-leading scorer, Alvaro Folgueiras is headed to Iowa.
In total, just one of the top nine from last year's rotation are back.
Veteran coach Andy Toole has done a nice job of assembling some transfer
talent to replace what he lost, but Robert Morris is nonetheless a case
study in how hard it is for mid-major programs to build sustained
success in the game's modern era.
