White & Gillon boosted SU to 19-15 record.  In that way, it was a winning squad.  If they didn't come, the team would have had a losing record, something SU hasn't had since 1969.  No one's impressed with that team, but everyone's glad we avoided that.  Thorpe could have seem real minutes and helped out if he was patient.  He left, the team went to the Sweet 16 anyway.  Granted, SU's track record with grad transfers is rather short and undistinguished but there was no downside to signing any of them.  Other schools have had success with grad transfers.  There's no reason why SU couldn't have more success if it made more attempts.

I despise Coach K but he's convinced.  This year, Duke is stalking 3 of the best (Towns, Tape, Jordan Bruner).  Coach Boeheim came back around to the idea because he tried to land 2 of them.  As a long-term strategy, I don't believe in it any more than you do.  But in a given year, it could help.  For a mediocre team likely losing its best player, I think '20-21 might be one of those years.
