I see your concern. The transfers have made our classes top heavy. I don't see any way around needed some more transfers in a few years. But were also talking about two years from now. So were saying guys with at least two years in our strength program, two years of practice, two years of being on a college sideline are going to step in and start. That is what we want isn't it? Were talking about
Isaiah Williams, Epstein, E Carter, Cumby, Campbell, Washington, Barker, Moore, Verdis, Slaughter, Myers, Khalan, Shammond, Tarique, J Thompon, Beason
Now I'm not trying to just name off one recruiting class and I didn't name every one of them. Not all are going to be successful. But I feel good about a lot of those guys. And I would rather not have to play Sophomores/Red shirt Freshman but talented players like Reggie Love fall into that category. As long as the top 10 programs in the country get the majority of the higher end talent year over year in recruiting, there will not be a shortage of guys wanting to transfer. The issue is going to be beating out other programs for that talent once everyone sees how successful it can be
I'm not sure I fully agree on the overall ceiling of a few of the guys you've listed but in general this shows where my concern is. Give or take a few missed names, this is only 20-some guys. How are we going to increase high end talent in terms of quantity? Your last sentence has been my concern all along (Perhaps I didn't state that well enough) and I agree with your assessment 100%. If other programs start to get in to this market and the NCAA doesn't make any attempt to regulate it, we're no longer in a position of strength. This why it is imperative for us to increase our talent from HS seniors. And i'm telling you, that's going to be a serious up hill battle for a team that doesn't win more than 5 games.
