It's definitely a boost to the short term goals but eventually you need to change the proportion for long-term goals. I'm hoping it's eventually like 65% high school recruits and 35% transfers with a slight adjustment for walk-ons.

That was pretty much the Dan Snyder approach, I have zero problems with it.

When Phil Bennett left KSU for SMU, I remember looking at the KSU roster.

~56 of their players came the non-traditional route......CC, JC, transfers.

No reason SMU can’t follow that same script.

Exactly. K State won big with the model.

The difference is that I think we can do better with HS recruits than Snyder did in Kansas and the quality of our transfers will be better.

Pretty sure nobody should try to emulate anything Dan Snyder does in Washington.

I'm not familiar with Dan Snyder. Bill Snyder I know and respect.
