I find these stats a bit hard to believe ...

According to the NCAA, a third of all college students transfer. Exact figures on what percentage of college basketball players will transfer during their careers are not available, but the NCAA does know that 40 percent leave their schools in the first two years, and most of those are transferring. Across all sports, the transfer rates are lower than one in three.

Still, it seems that player movement, especially in college basketball, is on the rise. ESPN.com has tracked transferring college basketball players for almost 10 years and in that time that number of players it has listed has risen from about 200 to more than 700 last year.
