Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4674030, member: 722"] There is an unknown long term benefit of picking up transfers with years to go. In a quick run down: Starling sophomore Cuffe freshman Westry freshman McLeod junior. These are guys who will either be here, sitting the bench after another transfer or pro. Very few guys will want to transfer a second time before graduation, I suspect. The old paradigm of playing sparingly if you were an underclassmen unless you were a bona fide star is coming back, but only after the first transfer. This is another reason I think Cuffe might be odd man out of the rotation. Bell, Brown, Taylor and Williams have all shown loyalty to the program and Red personally. Yet they all still have the option to leave at the end of the season. Cuffe is captive unless he wants another year off. Minutes might flow to the free agents, skill levels being more or less equal. All bets are off if Cuffe comes in clearly among the top 3-4 guards, though. [/QUOTE]
