I think grabbing a 5th year transfer makes sense ONLY IF we
1) DO NOT get a scholarship back AND Diagne IS eligible/counts for a scholarship
- we would then be at 11 players on scholarship, i.e over the limit and will be pushing back the beginning of scholarship reductions for another season.
- If that's the case, a big body would make sense to at least help lessen the load on the other bigs.

OR

2) DO get a scholarship back AND Diagne is NOT eligible/counts for a scholarship
- then we're at 10 scholarships with one available.
- If this is the case we would NEED a big body with DCII and Chino as the only guys able to play the 5.
(IF we get a scholarship back AND Diagne is eligible, we're at 11 and ready to rock)

I went over the list of  transfers and if either of these situations plays out, I think a guy that would make a lot of (ehh...some?) sense is Olaleken Ajayi from Eastern Michigan. He is IN NO WAY a difference maker but:
-is still uncommitted (that's a start!)
- would be a one and done 5th year transfer
- is 6'11 250
- played at E Michigan under Rob Murphy and would have, at minimum, a working understanding of the Cuse zone (I think this is the most important factor)
-rebounds per/min at a solid rate

(only two years of stats listed, but he'll be a senior)
