Considering your point about where our transfers came from... I agree it was exciting when Fran Brown pulled starters from other power conference teams.

Red did that with Lampkin, btw... Other than that, consider this question:

Would you rather your depth be recruited from upperclassmen from lower levels of division one hairball, or from lower levels of high school recruits?

Last year, we had a stacked bench off guys that couldn't play behind the Highlander.  Injury stopped Hima from contributing, but Carey and Patterson just weren't ready to play at all.

If we had the center equivalent of Davis, Lucas Taylor and Carlos last season instead of lightly recruited freshman backups, we make the tournament last year.

Once I started looking at our transfers through that lens, it makes a lot of sense.

Especially when you consider the fact that Red struck out on the various PGs he wanted.

We would be looking great on paper is we had gotten a bona fide starter at PG.
