Obviously, we have no idea. But speculation costs us nothing (except in the stock market). So, here's some.
Quentin, despite massive departures, looks like he'll be able to assemble a competitive team next year, with 2 core returnees, 4 veteran transfers, and a top 15 incoming recruiting class. Given how Syracuse plays, this could well work for him. And given his personality, he'll likely get a continual stream of transfers in the future. But just saw DD's post about Cardoso in the portal: that changes everything for Quentin, I think.
Another master of the transfer is Kim Mulkey. She seems to successfully integrate players. A lot fewer leave or come, but her style of play makes selective replacements effective.
So, maybe 2 typologies here: the major turnover and the selective, but aggressive, replacement.
A 3rd typology might be the team that builds a complex offense and defense and strongly depends on continuity: UConn and Stanford stand out here. UConn's history with transfers is a mixed bag. I don't know who transfers into Stanford, but some certainly have transferred out (Notre Dame seems to collect those).
A scary 4th typology might be that a few top players agree to transfer collectively to form a super team (like the Miami Heat did). As Cardoso might instantly do now.
Pure speculation. But I doubt anyone fully appreciated, when it was passed, the effect on MCBB that the one-and-done rule would have on the culture and style of play. Just compare videos of how Krzyzewski coached before and after.
