I think it will be difficult for us to land true difference makers / elite guys, because our program is really, really down right now.  And because those type of transfers will have many suitors, and most will want to WIN.  They can probably get the same money as we can offer, but also go somewhere where they can get to the NCAA tournament.

Maybe there are some guys we could overpay to land, but then we also have to deal with having somewhat limited NIL funds.  And since we're going to need [U]at least[/U] four transfers, since we'll have so much attrition this offseason.  So... are we going to overpay to land multiple guys?  Or can we even do that?

Chances are, we'll get decent depth pieces that fit Kline's model.  I just question whether those guys will move the needle the way some are crossing their fingers for.

It would be different if we had a solid nucleus / foundation, and needed a piece or two to make the mixture pop.  But if we lose Freeman [as some have suggested], then there isn't that nucleus in place.  Hence, why I am not expecting miracles.

Long term, new coach -- I think Kline could work his magic and help get things back on track.  But turning over the roster nearly fully this offseason?  Not a formula for success next year, in all likelihood.
