Player movement in college basketball is obviously here to stay, and I'm a fan of it.

The concept of a one-time, no-sit-out transfer rule has always made sense to me.

The grad transfer option is a really good one to me as well.

And up next, we hear from Joey Baker.

He's a perfect example of why transferring to me is so good for college basketball.

Baker poured everything he could into his time at Duke. He was there for
