Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 2386777, member: 920"] Grad transfers like Anderson should be viewed differently. 1) they're coming in with more experience. 2) they've graduated, they've shown they can handle the academics. 3) you know they can play immediately and you have them for one year as a stop gap. Kromah helped us win a championship. Shonn Miller was very good for us. Anderson will play a role and play important minutes. Pervis and Larrier were both very close to committing to UConn before going to NC State and VCU. IIRC, the JUCOs were taken when we had recruiting misses and needed to fill scholarships for some depth. It's not like Ollie is out there actively recruiting the JUCO ranks, and banking on transfers to fill our the core of the team. I don't want to disrespect our guys, but this roster isn't made up of all of Ollie's first choices. I'm not excusing Ollie or the results, but this is one game. Let's see where we are in March. Ollie is accountable, but this roster wasn't built by design, it was patched together by necessity. [/QUOTE]
