Let’s examine transfer players in the Mike Leach era

With the official announcement recently that WSU will add transfers Chad Davis Jr., Lamonte McDougle and Gardner Minshew, it got me thinking about other transfers during the Leach era and how they’ve fared.

Signing transfers is usually done so for a number of reasons. In some cases, the coaches want to fill an immediate need. In others, the coaches want to build depth and create competition. Some are wildly successful and end up in the NFL, and others don’t pan out so well.

I went through the rosters from each season starting in 2012 and grouped those that transferred to WSU when Leach was coach into categories ranging from great to forgettable.
