Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 3950822, member: 523"] Unless you are looking to recruit transfers over current projected starters/key contributors, who are you really going to add that will make a bit of difference. It only makes sense if you are looking to kill your locker room because you think your current guys will accept a lesser role or transfer themselves and you think your incoming class can't be counted on for big contributions (which I think is always the assumption.) Brass tacks, you'd be looking for someone to take minutes from Cole, Gaffney, Polley, Whaley, Akok or Martin and by extension Jackson and the incoming class. My default is that you are mostly inheriting other people's problems except in rare cases. If you can get a senior 3pt specialist or extra ball handler/defender great, that's always a good fit. And while the end of the Ollie era was ripe for a wholesale roster shuffle, it's not a good year for Hurley to be taking that approach nor would it ever be if Hurley gets the program where everyone wants it. Most guys are in the portal because the weren't getting playing time at their former schools. Do we really think those guys would make a difference? Hurley has the right approach here, see what's out there and if there is anyone that would make the team better, not just a guy with stats or hype, the pursue them it's a good fit. It should be a rare occurrence. [/QUOTE]
