Grad transfers can put you over the top if you are close. And no one is hoping that grad transfers become the life blood of the program. By the way, did you see that Dior Johnson is coming up for the UNC game? Doesn't sound like a guy that won't play a minute of college hoop. Oh, and Chase will be here that weekend.
With all due respect, if my memory serves me correctly, I recall this general sentiment/rationale shortly after being hit with the sanctions when we got GT's White & Gillon . A few years removed now, it still appears we are hoping to land GT's, at least to, if not save, significantly assist with the quality of our blood. Additionally, again if I recall correctly, I believe several here thought highly that those GT's were
"putting us over the top" and that we were legit "contenders" with high expectations for that season. JB himself I believe hyped up his team, which of course may as well just have been gospel to some.
I'm for just about anything that's going to help this program getting back to its winning ways that we had been accustomed to for years. So, in that regard, I hope that we land those GT's. However, I'm more wishful that our traditional recruiting ways can render better results, bringing the needed uptick in talent, and paying out better dividends in the future.
Edit: Time will tell...Dior is an excellent start, even though he's still a couple of seasons away from landing on campus...I hope he makes it here and brings along those better recruits he promises as well too.
