Potential Transfers

According to Abdelmassih, their general plan going forward is to look for two regular (non-grad) transfers each year and not as heavy on grad transfers as people might think.  He said they will look for two regular transfers so that there isn't just one guy having to sit out the season by himself.  And their not necessarily as interested in grad transfers because of concerns over how well they'll want to fit in for just one year.

Also, having two transfers sitting out - leaving 10 available players in a given year - will make it easier to try to have the other guys get to play enough to (hopefully) keep them happy and keep the roster balanced.

I actually love this strategy for college basketball. There’s really no difference in getting a transfer thats sitting a year and playing 2 or 3 versus signing someone from HS and they play 5 mpg in the non conference and spend the rest of the year on the bench. If anything it could be better because they sit a year, learn the system, and are older when they see the floor.
