Transfer to Toledo worked out well for former CU basketball player Tre'Shaun Fletcher

Tre'Shaun Fletcher always remained steadfast in his belief he owned far more skills than what he was able to showcase with the Colorado Buffaloes.

This past season, Fletcher achieved the somewhat unusual distinction of proving, amid the glut of transfers that alter the college basketball landscape every spring, that once in a while the grass really is greener elsewhere for certain players.

The former CU guard made the most of his lone season at Toledo, earning the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year honor while leading the Rockets to the cusp of an NCAA Tournament berth — which the Rockets might very well have earned if not for a devastating knee injury suffered by Fletcher in the opening minutes of the MAC semifinals.
