CBS: Ranking college basketball's top committed transfers (#6. Liam Robbins: Minnesota to Vanderbilt; #44. Jamison Battle: George Washington to Minn)

[BleedGopher]

per CBS:

6. Liam Robbins​

Old school: Minnesota | New school: Vanderbilt

Robbins began his college career at Drake in the midst of a physical transformation that saw him evolve from pudgy, unranked prospect into something of an interesting project for a mid-major school. By the end of his sophomore year with the Bulldogs, he was one of the best players in the Missouri Valley Conference. He dealt with foul trouble and a nagging ankle injury with Minnesota this past season, but his game translated well to the Big Ten when he was on the court. Though already 22, Robbins will have two season of eligibility remaining.

44. Jamison Battle​

Old school: George Washington | New school: Minnesota

Battle is among the incoming envoy at Minnesota that will be tasked with helping first-year coach Ben Johnson turn things around. The 6-7 forward shot 36.3% from 3-point range in two seasons at George Washington and upped his scoring average to 17.3 points this season.

Seems like an even exchange, right?

So far it has been reported that if you have transferred once already you don't get another free one.
In the case of Carr and Robbins they'd need a waiver to play right away. And it was reported that waivers are going to be very hard to get.
But, there was the proposal that if your coach got fired you'd get a free pass...have not heard if that is still in play.
I'd think Carr would turn pro if he can't play elsewhere immediately.
Robbins is already 22,,,would he sit a year? (if waiver chances suggest that as the outcome?) Turn pro? Crawl back to Minnesota? (Maybe he burned that bridge signing something at Vanderbilt?)
Bud Grant's coaching advice: "Never make a decision until you need to." In this case Robbins could have waited a week or so until the rules have been established.
Bud, I believe was talking about announcing starters...somebody gets hurt during the week you avoid the wrecking of what confidence the starter still possesses.
It makes common sense in lots of real life decisions....the decision is often times made for you by something that happens.

Carr already sat a year due to the first transfer and would be a likely grad transfer no sit anyway. Are you thinking of someone else?
