The chances of success NEXT YEAR seem very unlikely to me (which is ok and expected). I'd rather see us go after transfers with multiple years left, or quality high school kids if possible. I can't see a competitive roster next year, we are just not going to be a desirable location for the top transfers who only want 1 more year.
True, and I don't think TJ is interested in getting a 1 year transfer either. A transfer that may help next year but would block playing time (and potentially hurt feelings) of Hunter, Hinson, Foster or Conditt. That is the core that will need to turn the programs prospects in 2 years. None of those players has indicated wavering on their commitment to ISU but with a new staff and still early in the relationship building trying to grab short term transfers could lead to issues.
