[QUOTE="AttentionDeficit, post: 1522670, member: 3235"] If you are for growth, you should be for a redshirt year, and the best way to get a redshirt year right now is to accept a transfer. No student/athlete wants to make that sacrifice (sitting a year) without extenuating circumstances, and transfers mean not having to persuade them. (Grad transfers obviously excepted, and they are more about gap filling anyway so you hope not to have to rely on them...) We had middling luck with transfers during the Groce era, but i think that went hand in hand with our middling player development. I think Underwood's regime is showing that they are a step up in development, and as the players on the court continue to improve, so will the players off the court. I am not high on the guys we have waiting (nor down on them!), but i am confident that they are improving, and getting experience in a winning locker room this year, and that will count for something next year.
