The days of four-year players like Kenrich Williams and Desmond Bane sticking around Fort Worth to develop their games before making the jump to the NBA are likely long gone. However, that’s not simply a TCU issue. Over 1,000 college basketball players have entered the transfer portal this offseason with that number only rising.
“I don’t know that I’m sad, but I’m adapting to it as we all are,” TCU Men’s Basketball Head Coach Jamie Dixon said. “I did enjoy the development aspect from the time they were freshmen, redshirt guys. Desmond was under-recruited, Kenrich didn’t have any scholarships out of high school, but now some have said you’re going to get them, but they’re going to develop somewhere else.
