On the one hand, strictly from the standpoint of the 2019 season, I agree.

On the other hand, on a long-term basis, I think bringing in transfers to play over recruited players presents a problem.

Regardless, the transfer rules are changing the landscape of college sports.

I agree with you on the long-term basis of not really wanting to rely on transfers. It does seem as thought the transfers we have brought in thus far are in positions of need. We lost Joe Suarez with a year of eligibility left for this year after having to play a true freshman in the mix at DT last year. So the DL transfer seems to make sense. We had to play two true freshmen at OL last year so the depth is certainly needed there. We lost 5 of 13 WRs on last year's roster and only brought in 2 (scholarship) WRs through an abbreviated recruiting period. The only one I question is the QB. We have 6 on the roster already. If the offense is as good as advertised, I would be disappointed to think we couldn't put a current QB in a position to run it well.
