[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 839155, member: 2627"] I didn’t read anything bad into your comments. I think you've taken a fair approach with your views on transfers and I appreciate different viewpoints as they absolutely help shape my own. The question one has to answer when taking transfers is whether or not they make your team better or if that scholarship would be better off in the hands of a high school player or even a deserving walk-on. It seems our strategy is to stay close to the kids who we tried hard to get but went elsewhere in case they change their minds early and want to transfer and have lots of eligibility left but also look for the ones who have limited eligibility who can come in and give us short term help. With those younger guys I look at them, for the most part, the same way I view redshirt freshmen in terms of physical development. They may or may not be ready to play but we have lots of time for them to grow with the program and become contributors. The older guys need to come in and make an immediate impact. And I think one of our issues is that those guys are also being counted on as leaders. It's great when they can come in and fulfill that role as McGowan clearly has and I think Ace Eley has as well. But we need those leaders to come from within our program more frequently and, if a grad transfer or more experienced transfer comes in and ADDS to the leadership then that's icing on the cake.
