With immediate eligibility for graduate transfers, and many more undergraduates obtaining waivers to play immediately, it would suggest that classes can be re-balanced on the fly. And if UC starts getting blue chip recruits again, we can almost count on those players leaving after one, two or three years.

Yeah, it really just depends on what type of roster you're trying to build. If you're trying to build with roster stability like Mick and have a bunch of 3-4 year players you need balance. Look at what happened this year when Wichita loss 6 seniors and a couple transfers. But I agree if you're willing to get involved in the grad transfer market and maybe take a few more shots on higher end recruits that you can work around balance.
