It'd kill you? We haven't seen the guy play one second of college ball.
We've seen 4 years of QG and he's an above average PF whose metrics say he is an above average offensive player and below average defensive player. I think he's a guy that raises the floor, but I thought there was a lot of hype about Hansberry maybe even starting. So to take away his ability to learn to get a guy that may provide only a nominal impact difference, seems questionable. In a vacuum, I like the signing, but if it might cost us Hansberry, I don't like it.
Before I get trampled here, I 100% support Brad and think he has the ability to play this portal three card monte shell game. However, if it stops working and you've spent 2+ years recruiting over your highly-ranked freshman to get a rental and they leave and new recruits see you may just put them at the end of the bench and top end portal guys see you can't bring a bunch of new guys together and develop them and get them to play as a team, the bottom will fall out and you will have nothing.
I'm not saying this is the reality, but could be. In a perfect world, you develop your young guys and pick up transfers for depth and fill in roles. Brad is not Groce, he has contingency plans and is a great evaluator of talent. We will never be stuck in mediocrity long, if at all. Sadly with the portal and NIL, it's impossible to look at a roster and extrapolate that out over 4 years, so you have to plan for this year only, because Adam Miller or Curbelo or Epps or Clark may happen again. There are no guarantees and everything is a one-year contract. Brad is doing his job, I would go about it a different way.
The most valuable commodity is a transfer with multiple years of "control" since he can't transfer again without losing a year. It's now better to go play for a mid major, show out and then find your way to a P5 program instead of sitting a year. Now that I have successfully become a ChiefGritty disciple, let the hate rain down.
