While we still don’t know how things turn out for Marquette transfer Symir Torrence now that he’s a member of the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team, he’ll own a specific distinction the second he first hits the floor.
Looking through the extensive records at OrangeHoops (thanks to Ray, as always), Torrence would actually be the first player to suit up for both SU and Marquette — regardless of which he played for first.
Obviously there are no greater rules that really guide why a transfer happens historically. Still, it’s interesting that there haven’t been more players to jump from the Golden Eagles to the Orange(men) over the years.
