Message: [QUOTE="OrangeZeus, post: 2167312, member: 4174"] If we don't get Ayala or Tucker, we might as well just commit to the full rebuild. Use the last three scholarships either on grad transfers or to reward walk ons. We don't have any seniors so everyone on our 2017-18 team will be back for the 2018-19 season barring any jumps to the NBA or any transfers. By giving scholarships to players for one year (grad transfers or walk ons) we can "save" those scholarships for the 2018 class. Take the three available scholarships and save them for 2018, add that to our sanctions reducing by one, and a potential departure of one player (Tyus Battle seems pretty likely) and we can bring in a 5 player class in 2018. I'm much more excited by the possibility of adding a five-man class in 2018 where we seem to be in good standing with a few recruits rather than settling for a few 2017 recruits we normally wouldn't go after if we miss out on Ayala/Tucker.
