I’d say that’s fair, fits to the specific profile portion and there’s nothing particularly “fun” about the way the NCAA has run the waiver process. I’d be a little eye brow raised to see us take kids with only 1 year of eligibility however. Thoughts?
A bit late to this party, but my opinion/questions:
- 2 yrs> 1yr (I personally was surprised how many 2yr immediate eligible players we were able to grab...not convinced that there will be that many available for us this yr)
- The staff grabbed a bunch of 2 yr this past yr, that were added to a large jr class...one year transfers this year make less sense for class balance, but the staff didn't seem to care this past year, so I don't think that is the main deciding factor
- In the end, I expect we would like 2 yr transfers, but expect more 1 yr transfers than last year because I doubt we can find that many this coming year.
- At the end of the day, I think talent to fill gaps next year or clear upgrades of talent will be the primary deciding factor...NW game I feel highlighted depth gaps, we were short across the Defense, WR we were down top 3 , we may lose top 2 returning RB... I think talent/depth upgrades and what is availalble rule the day.
Last point, it may be a bit tougher go this year...last year we could promise starting rolls to QB, tackle, 2 WR...thankfully the holes look a bit smaller this year, but make it harder to promise starting roles to guys looking for more playing time.
