[QUOTE="Ubermensch, post: 1307083, member: 16319"] The likelihood of finding freshmen who can actually make an impact next year seems pretty low. Transfers who can help and don't have to sit a year are hard to find and in high demand, as we're seeing with the Pitt fella. Guys from major conferences who've shown they can play and will get a year to work on skills and learn a new system? Yep. You take guys like Moore and Bragg all day and figure it out as you go. Get Mark Smith if you can. Get the Pitt kid, too. But I don't see how Underwood can afford to pass on guys like this who are known commodities and can help you win in 2 years. You don't want to build your program around that strategy, but it makes as much sense now as it ever will. If we get those guys we should be thrilled. That's legit talent. [/QUOTE]
