There are practically no teams in college basketball these days that won’t take transfers. Heck, a grad transfer from Bucknell visited Kentucky this week. If Kentucky isn’t too good to take grad transfers, then we shouldn’t think we are.

Listen, I don’t want Nevada’s roster, but if we can get a Juco or Grad transfer to help us next year and the year after, why wouldn’t we want that?

Ok, if we can get a grad transfer that can play at Kentucky's level, go for it. I don't think we have a desperate need to put a butt in a seat though... and I think that is where our program should be. As a mid-major, the goal should be every year have a starting 5 that has been in the program for 2 years. That is the sign of a healthy program and one that can perform OOC and in November preseason tournaments because they aren't starting over every year. We are on track to finally get there in 20-21 if we can focus on keeping and improving our current freshmen and sophomores.
