I disagree. Unless we think another year will get us premier recruits we need to seed the program for future years. He needs to establish consistency. Think of next year as a rebuilding year.
A lot of our best players did not have a huge impact their freshman year. If we bring in two grads and they leave we have to reload the gun and play with freshman in the 19/20 season. That doesn't seem like a formula for success down the road. We should prioritize players that can get minutes in the rebuild year and use that experience for the next season. If there is one grad that we think can have a major impact, then do it. Anything more than that will hurt us long term more than we will likely want.
If we end up with a situation where we feel really bad about who we can get for next season, then by all means, grad transfers will be a best option. I think it should be the last option tho.
For what it's worth, I dont' think Hurley is taking a wait til next year mindset. He'll use Grad transfers as a last resort emergencey for next year. But to build a program, you can't have empty classes. Too many of those.
