"It could come from a transfer, if that rule passes, a transfer that will have a waiver opportunity, a junior college player, potentially a grad. Players have to fit where we’re at as a program.” If the change passes — and the consensus of opinion is that it will — then the Huskies can purse any of the many players still in the transfer portal. Many of the top grad transfers, though, have committed. “It’s probably scary for a grad transfer right now,” Hurley said, “because we return four starters and we look like we have a pretty good squad on paper. … Our preference with that scholarship would be somebody that could help us, but not at the expense of lowering our standards in terms of talent and culture fit.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
