We get a transfer, SHU gets one. Any others transferring out of KSU? Is there a reason for this, or is it just another example of the transfer trend?
 
"Half the team transferred,"

Why was that? Did the coach leave or was fired or did the coach recruit above the players leaving?

Thanks.
 
It has been an issue there since Weber took over. I think his seat is starting to get a little heat on it. He has struggled to keep kids in the program more than a year or 2 whether it be transfers or giving kids the boot. It has always been a pretty good program but it is at a point where it could really start to spiral down if he doesn't get some stability soon.

This appeared today in SI Online in a listing of 10 Winners and Losers this spring:

4. Kansas State. The Wildcats had a rough, drama-filled winter, so it was no surprise that their spring has been dicey as well. On March 24, Wildcats coach Bruce Weber dismissed his once-promising guard, 6’2” sophomore Marcus Foster, from the program. Foster, an unknown recruit out of Wichita Falls, Texas, was one of the revelations of the 2012-13 season, but he and Weber butted heads for most of last year. Weber also dismissed two freshmen, 6’5” guard Tre Harris and 6’7” forward Malek Harris, while sophomore guards Nigel Johnson and Jevon Thomas decided to transfer. If you’re keeping score at home, that’s five departed players who were supposed to form the nucleus of Kansas State’s teams in the near future. With senior forward Thomas Gipson and Nino Williams having graduated, that leaves Weber with just five scholarship players and a nondescript six-man recruiting class on the way

Well, we know what that's like.
