Fwiw, I've read where Crean likes to have a full complement of scholarship players (x13). Therefore, I'd anticipate him signing 4 Class of 2019 prospects to replace the upcoming season's seniors (i.e., Edwards, Ogbeide, Turtle, and Wilridge).
He'd be better advised to sign 3 and use the 4th on a grad transfer. 2020 is stacked and we have inroads (Kessler, Abdur-Rahim). We can't afford to go into that cycle with only 2 scholarships.
I'm good w/ that strategy, however, we'll have to see if Crean opts that way or is of "a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush" mentality.gritsK9 said:

The right grad-transfer could probably contribute more in 2019-20, than one or two of those "birds in the hand". So I don't think the grad-transfer route is "cutting the roster short".
If Crean is confident in the right grad transfer, then he'll probably go that way. In his first 3+ months at UGA however, he opted to sign a 2018 3* PG and European CG rather than pursue the grad transfer route (e.g., 2014 4* PF Reid Travis grad transferred from Stanford to Kentucky on 20 June 2018).blackmountaindawg said:

The 2018 class would have been a bad class for a grad transfer. That would give the 2019 class 5 spots, and still leave, without attrition, the 2020 class at 2. The 2019 class sets up good for a grad-trans, which would add to the 2 spots being vacated by TC and JH. That would give CTC 3 spots for the strong, and all important, 2020 class.
