SLATE: Colleges straight up trading players, what next?

Sometimes, serendipity makes you look like a prophet. For instance, at the end of Thursday’s article on Mark Smith signing with Kansas State, our man Drew Schneider opined that Smith might not be an upgrade over Dajuan Gordon talent-wise, but he might well be a better fit.

We’re going to get the comparison directly now, as Gordon announced his new home yesterday: Missouri. That piece by Eric Blum at the Columbia Daily Tribune never mentions Smith, strangely enough; Gordon’s transfer means that we get the interesting opportunity to see what a straight-up trade of two players between two college programs looks like.
