I would say that most players transfer because they truly believe their talent can be put to better use in a different style of play or coaching. It seems to be working for Bresee. Same could be said for Harper Birdsong, who transferred to William and Mary the same year and is a really good player for them. Both struggled to get playing time at GW, but both thriving at other schools. Last year when W&M beat us, Birdsong torched us with a number 3's and was (if I remember) the leading scorer in that game. Both were Tsipis recruits, so maybe they expected things to turn out differently. In any event, it's a tough decision for students to make, but good to see when it works out for them.
