It’s just harder.  Grad transfers are going to have to apply and get into a graduate school.  We have trouble getting many of our own players in, let alone those who come from elsewhere and don’t have some knowledge of what it takes to get in, or how to get started on the process.

Again, not to say it’s impossible, as Isaiah Sanders’ existence attests, but the odds are against getting grad transfers in, so you have to ask yourself if it is worth it.

Still, as Sam notes, for some positions in some cases, the answer is yes.  And for DL next year, the answer is “hell yes”.

Those of us with longer memories on TOS will remember how recruiting took an uptick after Harbs added ME-97 to his staff.  All of a sudden we seemed to "see" a lot more prospects out there.  (Of course, Harbs offered a zillion guys every year.)
