[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 770794, member: 2627"] I look at the 6 transfers (If Cochran is coming, if not then it's 5 and the last point below only applies to White) in two groups. [LIST] [*]4 kids who come in with 4 years of eligibility... I feel like some of this is unique to this year but might become something we look at in other years where we need to fill spots with talented kids who we already know something about. I think most of us will agree that a significant piece of CGC's recruiting strategy is to make the entire experience more enticing. He's banking on the energy and the enthusiasm of ATL and what the kids will see when they come visit to help sell the program. Of course this year that became nearly impossible. So we turned to a source that is probably going to produce more kids with 4 years left than any other year because this year didn't take up any eligibility, not even a redshirt, and that's the transfer portal. Three of the kids are ones we know our coaches either recruited or wanted to recruit in Harris, Watson, and Scott. So they already knew the vibe here. Pendley may not fit this description quite as well but being local he probably knows about what it's like on campus from people he knows and I'm sure he's seen the campus before even if just driving by it. We may never hit the portal in this way so hard again in this way to bring in younger guys... or it might become something we do more often when we hear kids we recruited and really wanted are unhappy and want to come home. I think with this group you are looking at them as kids you still need to develop rather than immediate superstars (except in very rare circumstances), just like many recruits right out of HS [*]White and Cochran... these are pretty normal and I wouldn't expect to see more than 1 or 2 when an experienced, talented kid becomes available at a spot we need an infusion of talent and experience through the years. These are kids you expect to be difference makers right away in an area of need. [/LIST] Does that sound reasonable? I think the first category may be something we keep looking to for kids who can come here and give us 3-4 years of eligibility that we think highly of and are either kids we recruited heavily or are local kids we would have liked.
