IMO we really need to start looking for transfers.  Next year we will be losing, at a minimum, TR, Lydon, Gallon, and Coleman which leaves us plent of space for a big class next year. We presently only have 8 scholarship players coming back this year. 9 IF we sign either of TT or Mystery Man, that still leaves us with at least 1 additional scholly this year, and 1 shy of a full scholarship scrimmage during practice (not good if were 2 shy).  Kids like Matthews are low risk and high reward candidates at this juncture. Top 100 player out of high school, a year of practice at a high major program, will sit out a year to learn our system, and develop and mature mentally, physically and academically while providing a talented body for practice/scrimmage this year.  If the transfer develops great, if not little is lost and you have reloaded already and provided a much needed practice player.

We might struggle to get the high end one-and-dones but that shouldn't stop us from picking up the next best thing and that is upperclassmen with talent. If you look at the final four this year you had upperclassmen leading the way on every team 'Nova, UNC, OU, and us.  You might not be able to battle with the Duke and UK's of the world for top 10 talent every year but you can off set that talent with experience. JMHO.
