Sophomore forward David Collette's pending transfer from USU is a stunning development. Coach Tim Duryea's decrying the "poaching" of players by other programs will could Collette's next move — depending on where he lands — even more controversial. It is difficult to imagine another coach targeting Collette, knowing that he won't be eligible to play until about Dec. 20, 2016 — with less than two full seasons of eligibility remaining — but you never know.
Regardless of how Duryea's first season plays out, the 77-60 exhibition loss to Cal State Monterey Bay and Collette's transfer will become the backdrop.
