I keep thinking about the fact this team won't have a real true senior class this year, and last year.  Last year the only homegrown senior they lost who saw real playing time was Griffin Cook (using his fifth year) and this year, if SU brought in zero transfers, it would be Will Mark and he was a transfer himself. Gait and co have had to essentially rebuild senior classes due to the previous staff putting together underwhelming recruiting classes. People criticize recruiting publications but they were right about SU putting together two pretty poor classes prior to the really good one in 2020.  Now Gait is fixing that.

The team is really young, which is great, but in order to really improve and compete at the highest levels, they need contributions from classes outside the rising sophomore class.  They could sit around and wait for them to peak when they are seniors, but supplementing them right now with experienced, proven players has to be the way to go.  Strike while the iron is hot. Yes, bringing in eight transfers is a lot, but I can't really look at one and think "not sure that makes the team better".
