Every year over 500 NCAA DI players on the men’s side transfers to another program, in most cases to play at a higher level. According to recent statistics provided by the NCAA, 90% of the time it is for athletic purposes, not academic. This year the number is climbing daily.

Earlier today stellar sophomore guard Elijah Long received a release from Mount St. Mary’s. A New Mexico State freshman from British Columbia, Jermaine Haley also heads out.

Last night Jeff Goodman of ESPN reported that Ottawa’s Marial Shayok will transfer from Virginia to Iowa State, however it is unclear whether he is eligible right away. All that will depend on his graduation status.

The highest level prospect from the bunch below, Isiaha Mike who is widely considered an NBA prospect is on a visit today to SMU in Dallas, Texas.

Isiaha Mike is a 6’8 forward hailing from Scarborough, Ontario. He is the most sought out transfer as he’s coming off a noteworthy season at Duquesne where he collected freshmen awards and put up a few 30 point games to make his mark in his first year. SMU and Oregon have made a strong push and are front runners for his service.
