Smart only played in 2 season at UB (Red Shirted his freshman year) and played in only 57 games at UB (and 27 games at Wake Forest).

Perkins (139), Jordan (135), Graves (131), and Massinburg (130) actually hold the top 4 spots on most games played in their career at UB. 

I found this video (about David Kadiri):

Not a good day for the Bulls, a 15 point loss at home.  Kadiri did have a good day, scoring 23 points, though.

On the women's side, Cierra Dillard was supposed to be a major pro prospect. Current record holder for most points in a single season at UB (856). Drafted in the second round in 2019. Then waived before the season started. Picked up again and dropped after one preseason game. Not sure where she is now but she dropped like a rock.

Last year she played in Turkey.  I believe this year she is in Egypt.

Look at other players drafted in the WNBA. Drafted doesn’t mean roster spot, and most end up in foreign leagues that pay more than the WNBA.

Isn’t the WNBA already kind of a foreign league?

Lucas Saleh was signed by Beirut Club. Sounds like they are in the top Lebanon League (I admittedly don't know much about the level of basketball played in Lebanon), but I'm happy for him, I hope he does well. Always seemed like a solid bench guys and was respected by his teammates.

Anyone know the story with Mballa right now?  Ole Miss loses by 22 to Oklahoma State, Mballa played 2 minutes with a goose-egg statline.  Averaging 3.6 ppg, 2.5 rpg, and playing 9.4 mpg.  Is it an injury?  Or is he really just buried that far down the depth chart on a #99 Kenpom team (for reference, Toledo is #102 - would Mballa be the 8th-9th man at Toledo?)?

In another case of the grass isn't always greener, Skogman's team, Davidson, is currently in 13th place in the A10.

None of those are ringing endorsements of leaving and raising your stock. Fair and Wooley would put up similar numbers here but maybe more. Fair is a volume shooter, under 40% FG at her size is not going to open eyes in the WNBA, even out of the ACC instead of the MAC. I wasn’t expecting much from Mballa and that seems to be playing out. I did think Skogman would be performing better. I am happy for Fagan, he’s going out on a high note for his career.

Time for an update on last year's transfers:
 

(Former) UB Men
Tra'Von Fagan (UMBC): 31 games. 57.6 FG%, 39.5 3PT%, 77.3 FT. Average 18.3 minutes, 8.3 points, and 6.3 rebounds per game.
David Skogman (Davidson): 32 games, 22.5 minutes, 46.2 FG%, 36.8 3PT%. Averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Tied for the most blocks on the team.
Ty Perry (New Haven): 29 games averaging 29.3 minutes. Leading scorer on team with 15.8 points per game (48.8 FG%, 38.1 3PT%) 23 steals, 36 Assists. 3.8 Rebounds per game.
(Alexandre) Lucas Saleh (Belmont Abbey): Played in 9 games from 11/11-12/10. Averaged 9.8 minutes, 2.4 points. Appears to have left the team. Joined Beirut Club in early January but not played so far.
Josh Mballa (Ole Miss): 16 games averaging 9.4 minutes, 54 points (3.4 points per game) and 37 rebounds. Not played since January 28th. Last 6 games, only played 29 minutes.

(Former) UB Women
Dyaisha Fair (Syracuse): 30 games, 35.8 minutes, 19.7 points, 4.6 assists per game. 39.3 FG% 37.0 3PT%
Georgia Woolley (Syracuse): 26 games, 29.9 minutes, 12.0 points, 2.1 assists per game. 38.8 FG% 30.6 3PT%
Saniaa Wilson (Syracuse): 27 games, 12.1 minutes, 4.0 points, 0.2 assists per game. 57.7 FG%
Cheyenne McEvans (Syracuse): 17 games, 12.5 minutes, 2.8 points, 0.9 assist per game. 39.0 FG% 16.7 3PT%
Dominique Camp (Akron): 29 games, 30.4 minutes, 10.6 points per game. 44.5 FG% 21.4 3PT%
Adebola Adeyeye (Kentucky): 31 games, 17 minutes, 4.6 points per game. 54 FG%
Loren Christie (USF): 28 games, 13.9 minutes, 4.8 points, 3.4 rebounds per game. 36.1 FG% 20.7 3PT%
Nia Jordan (Bethune-Cookman): 29 games, 22.4 minutes, 7.7 points per game (3rd highest on team). 34.5 FG% 
Casey Valenti Paea (Long Beach State): No games. 
Kaelonn Wilson (Binghamton): 26 games, 3.7 minutes, 0.8 points per game. 58.8 FG% 

To summarize, on the men's side... Nice performance by Fagan. Skogman had a slow start but did well at the end. Perry is having a spectacular season with New Haven. Didn't see that coming from his time here. Saleh and Mballa are going nowhere fast.

On the women's side, no surprise on Fair and Woolley but the 4 UB transfers still left Syracuse with a mediocre season. Camp did well at Akron but faded a little at the end of the season.  Not real great scoring numbers for Adeyeye (better known for her defense) but she does get the rebounds (5.0 per game). Jordan seems to be doing well at Bethune-Cookman. 

I'll also add Elea Gaba to the women's transfer list as well. Others have posted here that she's playing professionally in Germany, but I see no records of that. I see her playing in German prior to UB but not after.

[bullsbball]

I should also add to the "UB Women's List", Ramatoulaye Keita was AWOL at the start of the season. Not sure what happened to her. Looks like she disappeared off the UB roster in October.

And Lexi McNabb was an incoming Freshman that committed to UB but instead went to Syracuse. Played in only 8 games for a total of 37 minutes. Only 6 total points.

Here is an update on the 2021 transfers..

(Former) UB Men

Malik Zachery (South Plains College): Last year 24 games. 13.9 minutes per game. 7.9 points per game. 3.7 rebounds per game.
    Transferred to UTEP where he has 2.6 points in 15 games (10.8 min/game). 15 of 33 from the field (45.5%). 
Savion Gallion (South Plains College): Last year 32 games. 14.6 minutes per game. 9.9 points per game. 2.8 rebounds per game.
    Transferred to ULM where he has 6.8 points per game in 20 games (19.2 min/game). 46 of 120 from the field (38.3%).
Chanse Robinson (Grambling State): Last year 9 games. 9.9 minutes per game. 3.4 points per game. 0.7 rebounds per game.
    No longer on team (Faces kidnapping and assault charges)

(Former) UB Women

Keowa Walters (VCU): Last year 19 games. Averaged 18.7 minutes, 6.9 points per game, 46.3% from the field.
                     This year 22 games. Averaged 15.0 minutes, 4.0 points per game, 44.7% from the field.
Jessika Schiffer (Rider): Last year 30 games. Averaged 31.1 minutes, 9.6 points per game, 35.4% from the field, 36.9% from 3PT. 2.9 assists per game.
                          This year, 31 games, Averaged 32.2 minutes, 8.3 points per game, 35.1% from the field, 33.1% from 3PT. 1.5 assists per game.

No great loss on this list. Schiffer is getting a lot of playing time but not having great shooting percentages.

It would of been interesting if McNabb stayed here how that would of turned out.Players like McNabb go to a higher conference and get little to no playing time. It all depends who players listen to when making decisions. Good example is DeBerry at UCONN who was a top rated recruit out of a local high school. I have watched several UCONN games and even with all their injuries she barely got any playing time not just this year but ever since she got there. Why a player with that kind of ability would stay at a school and hardly play the game is baffling. Another local player who could of excelled in the MAC. We will never know as she was sold a bill of goods by UCONNand sadly some players with high expectations make it and some don’t.

McNabb was a done deal, she was going wherever Jack ended up. 98% sure her dad knew Syracuse would likely be the final destination. She may get some time next year, they are losing 44 points of 73.7 per game (60%). Wooley at 12 ppg and Hyman at 10.6ppg are the only 2 double figure scorers. Barring Covid eligibility SU will need some scorers next year.
