Of the 10 teams in the BE, eight have at least one transfer who is making significant contributions (among the top seven in terms of rotation/mpg).
In fact, seven of those eight teams - Butler, Creighton, DePaul, MU, Providence, St. John's, and Xavier - all have a player/players who are either regular starters or among the top five players in terms of mpg.
To be more specific:
Butler: Tyler Lewis - 23.6 mpg (6th on team), 7.0 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 3.7 apg
Jordan Gathers - 15. mpg (7th on team), 4.3 ppg, 1.6 rpg
Creighton: Cole Huff - 20.7 mpg (4th on team), 9.7 ppg, 4.1 rpg
Mo Watson - 30.6 mpg (2nd on team), 14.1 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 6.5 apg
DePaul: Myke Henry - 28.2 mpg (1st on team), 14.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg
MU: Luke Fischer - 28.6 mpg (3rd on team), 12.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg
Providence: Junior Lomoba - 27.4 mpg (4th on team), 6.3 ppg, 2.7 rpg
Seton Hall: Derrick Gordon - 24.7 mpg (6th on team), 8.3 ppg, 3.7 rpg
St. John's: Durand Johnson - 28.8 mpg (2nd on team), 12.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg
Xavier: Remy Abell - 25.4 mpg (3rd on team), 6.2 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1.9 apg
As far as I can tell, only GTown and Nova do not have any transfers.
My point? The second recruiting season each year (transfers) can be incredibly important to a team's success. Hopefully Rowsey can have a significant impact on next year's team along with Luke, and hopefully, Wojo can land another key transfer this coming spring or summer.
