[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 193928, member: 944"] Your points are all very valid and I don't think any of us have said that we want GT to be disadvantaged in today's recruiting environment. I also definitely do NOT resent a kid who is trying to better their situation, whether it be choosing to forego their final season of eligibility to go work in the corporate world, or go pro, or (even) transfer out to another program where they believe they can benefit. We all have a responsibility to do what is best for ourselves and our loved ones..... My points (apparently poorly made) were that I would be more interested in the team if I felt like we were building a program with a "better" (my judgement, of course) mix of one and done players (of any age) and 3 or 5 year players. I find even today I watch much more carefully the play of Lammers, for example, no matter how good Jacobs et al are. I am not sure I would call it an emotional attachment, but I am more forgiving with guys who I feel are still learning and will pay dividends down the road, than with guys who are one and done. Maybe that's just me.... My only other comment about transfers and the JUCO business was to do with football...along the lines of I have always heard we could not get most transfers, especially JUCO transfers, not GT because of the academic credits issue. Yet we seem to have little or no trouble in basketball. I was simply wondering why the difference between the two sports. [/QUOTE]
