When Elijah Landrum announced in April that he was transferring from SMU, it did not seem like a big deal to most SMU fans.
The guard averaged just 3.1 points per game on 28 percent shooting in his freshman season. Losing those numbers is not a huge blow for the team. But Landrum is SMU’s fourth player to transfer from the program in the last two years.
That number is alarming.
No one remains from SMU’s 2016 recruiting class, as Australians Harry Froling and Tom Wilson are both pursuing professional opportunities after spending less than a year at SMU.
