To add to your statement, paying for transfers is a crap shoot.  There are reasons why players transfer and why coaches want the players for their teams.

Syracuse paid a lot for Tait George last year and he did not play up to expectations and was gone within a year.  William Kyle on the other hand was looking for another chance to show how he could play and did show up for Syracuse last year.  Still was the money paid forward meet the expectations that coaches want.  In both cases, I would say no because overall the end-result was a losing W-L record.

GMAC is going have similar success and failure with the money he pays out for the players this upcoming season.  Individually, they may be worth what was paid them but it is how they come together as a team working for a common goal. Gerry has a mixture of defensive and offensive skills in the transfers/recruits coming in.  The X factor will be how the players bring these skills together to produce a winning season.

I’m impressed with the intensity level of Gavin Doty, Garwey Dual and Aiden Tobiason have, the potential that Ryan Moesch, Abdramane Siby, Sadiq White, 3M and Kiyan Anthony bring and the hard work ethic that Tasmin Goodrick and others have.  Put all this together with their overall experience and good, solid coaching which the new staff offers and the team only has to mesh well together to be successful next year.  I will leave the term “successful” without a firm definition right now.

I do expect there will be at least two possibly three more players added to the team before next season. I believe that the new players will have similar intensities as the current players have.
