[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1565716, member: 746137"] I don't think it's that so much. I think number one is that most of these kids don't have great other options at the moment. And you have to imagine number two is that the conversation was had with them that the University will be supportive of them if it doesn't work out, or even if a better opportunity rolls along before February. With the way the transfer portal and redshirt rules work today, that becomes kind of a win-win for everybody. Our new coach gets bodies, the outgoing staff were decent evaluators, there's every chance a number of these kids will stick and that's an asset rather than trying to frantically refill those spots from scratch in a pandemic where a bunch of HS seasons didn't happen. And the kids get to guarantee themselves a spot at a P5 school, make a go of it, and if it doesn't work out, chances are they can probably transfer without penalty wherever they want and reenter as a freshman still, no-harm, no-foul.
