Senior transfers key in Blue Raiders’ success

I've been thinking about this some recently and wonder if this may alter Stock's recruiting philosophy

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

We should be able to snag 2-3 transfers a year if we continue winning. Mathers may be a NFL prospect now.

 

[SCRaider01]

Agree. Mathers getting drafted would be game changing.

Jalen Hurd is leaving UT and wanting to switch positions to either TE or WR. Go get him Stock!!!

That would be a goldmine if we could become a destination for these 5th year guys.

We win out I could see some guys really look hard at our program. Don't want too many because we still need the younger guys to develop and eventually get on the field

Good points. I'd like to see us do more of the 5th year transfers than the JUCO's.

Our JUCO miss rate is appalling, but those 5th year guys have usually done well for us.

If we could scrap the JUCO route and land 3 or those transfers and fill out the rest of the class with high school kids that would be ideal, IMHO.
