I never explicitly make transfer projections. I never want to be seen as starting rumors when I’m really just making educated guesses. But I always say that the guys most likely to leave are a) guys about to be juniors or seniors who are b) on the third string (or lower) with at least one or two young players ahead of them. If they’re from out of state, that makes them even more likely.
If I had created a list, then, Greg Taylor would have been on it. The East St. Louis product waited a couple of extra years to make it to Columbia and was steadfast in his commitment even after the November 2015 protests and Gary Pinkel’s retirement.
