I have no inside information on any of these guys at all. I just want to throw that out there first and foremost.
It is getting late to sign a 2017 recruit. But what do we do with Caleb Swanigan’s scholarship if he stays in the NBA Draft? Well there are 3 options.
Sign a 2017 recruit, which is starting to seem unlikely.
Get a 5th year transfer to fill the hole for one year. Which will make it open in 2018 anyway.
Waste an open spot, wait until 2018 to fill the void, or give it to a walk on player for a season.
