So many people have suggested that we can supplement our recruiting class by getting in the Grad transfer market earlier and harder this year. I'm wondering, is that really a possibility and how does one tactfully do it?
You can't recruit another school's players, or at least I assume that that is a gentlemen's rule, if there is no absolute prohibition. So, when does the grad transfer market begin to take shape? Clearly you can look at the pool of players and try to determine who might be in line to graduate and still have eligibility remaining, but I assume there is no way to know for sure short of contacting a player whether he'll be in line to graduate. So are we left to wait until the summer to mine this resource, or can it be done earlier than that.....and, if so, how exactly do you tap that resource without going after a player who hasn't formally announced an intent to leave the school he is at.
Thinking back at this past summer, folks here were afraid to mention Tyler Cavanaugh's name as a possibility and that was over the summer after the season had concluded?
Is the grad transfer market really a real route for picking up players, or just one that you can occasionally experience some good fortune in, as we did this season?
