In the work analogy , we cannot ‘hire’ most people other than freshman with 1 good year of academics or grad transfers unless the other applicants were f sophomore and junior transfer can meet our academic transfer criteria. So getting Guys for 2 years or so is going to be very difficult. So we either get transfers after 1 or 4 years. That would suggest we may not be able to keep up with the depth we thought we had on the entire roster this year is we have a net loss in transfers per year of 2 or 3. While it may mean more scholarships each year for an incoming class that really doesn’t translate for ND since we really don’t have a good Track record of meaningful freshman game time. Let’s hope that changes with great recruiting.
So keeping these guys in the system is likely better than losing a fair amount each season and bringing in more freshman or rent a grad student for a year.
A challenge for sure
