What number of school is he on now?

Right state, wrong school. Desmond Bane at TCU is the guy Ohio almost had.

Including Ohio, he's on his fourth since 2014-2015. I'm not sad he didn't end up here to be honest. Bane on the other hand, is a damn good player.

I wonder in cases like this or Jaaron Simmons where the player plays for three teams or more if they will be remembered fondly by any of those schools or their fans. Develop into something great at one school or hop around like a tourist and no one remembers you?

Speaking only on a personal level, I'm always going to remember the players who were here for the majority of their college years, and graduated from here, the most. From my years, guys I remember the most fondly are guys like Geno, Brandon Hunter, Esterkamp, Adell, Flomo, Halbert, Harris, Troutman, Leon, Tillman, KVK, Washington, Freeman, into the 2011-2012 years. I find enjoyment watching a team and a player develop over the course of 4-5 years.

That doesn't mean I don't fondly remember guys like Walt, or Mike Allen - just that I enjoy the 4-5 year process a lot.

DeLaRosa left Kent and now averages 2ppg and is getting 6 min./game at Illinois last I saw. Sometimes it works when a guy leaves a mid and plays at a P5 (Stefan Moody from FAU to Ole Miss) but more often they have been recruited over by the time they set foot on campus.

Largely agree, but there exceptions for me. Mychal Green and Terren Harbut were only here a couple years, but they felt like four-year guys.

That's how I feel about Walt and Bubba Walther. They were only here a couple of years, but they seemed to have a pretty big impact, same as Treg as well.
