rico Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 IU will go down as the place that had Larry Bird and he left. Purdue had Kyle Macy and he left. Notre Dame had Joe Kleine and he left. USC had Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble and they left. What are some other "notorious" transfers that went on to better things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Lawrence Funderburke. If Knight and Funderburke could have co-existed, IU very well would have one or two more banners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be able to argue that Recker would have been an all-American if he hadn’t been in that bad accident...maybe. I was still an underclassmen in high school when he left and it was crushing, especially in connection to Collier leaving and the mess with Neil Reed...I loved all of those guys as players...didn’t have any inside info or behind the scenes access, just liked them. Funderburke was tough too, but I was not as connected yet...just annoyed because I’m from Columbus, Ohio. Actually graduated from one of the High Schools Funderburke went to (Worthington Christian) and he would work out at our gym during the off seasons when played for the Kings (Michael Redd too). a lot of the rest of the transfers that hurt didn’t turn out to be all Americans but took the wind out of the sails of the program no matter what the reason for the transfer...Sherron Wilkerson, Michael Hermon, Andre Owens, etc...etc...

BEKA Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Delray Brooks. I don't really know any back story about why he began losing playing time, but if he could have stuck around...who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGIUAndy Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 If Funderburke would have stayed, we definitely would of won at least another championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Off the top of my head I'll say Funderburke. At least another Final 4 or two...another title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Ballin Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Not an all-american type player and didmt exactly transfer......but Emmit Holt. I understand why he is no longer with us and ultimatly agree with it; but how nice would it have been to have him playing with Morgan?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what kind of career he had. I think there was another guy who transferred the same year named Rob (or Rod) Foster who went out west somewhere.
