There are so few 5th years transfers available that have the level of talent that we are seeking that it makes that a VERY risky strategy. This year we were extremely fortunate to have two of those type of guys available & that we landed both.

Think of how our roster would be hurting wo Gillon & White.

The strategy has to be to prioritize bringing in the frosh & only use the 5th year transfer strategy as a backup plan. Heck, you don't even know which 5th year eligible guys would be leaving their current programs until after the season has been completed.

Lastly, on a very positive note, I just had a  chance sit down with my NBA scout friend. He is now scouting the West so he does not get to see our guys too often & is unfamiliar with most of our guys. However, we were talking about our roster & he did not realize that we had gotten White. White was a kid he was interested in watching. Not that he said White was anything like a sure thing (for the NBA), but I figure if a kid is even on the radar of an NBA scout, he must be the real deal at the collegiate level.
