137,do you think they are trying to pick up 4frosh or 3 and a transfer?What are your thoughts?
There were only three total scholarships available at the start of the year, replacing Oberfeld, Azzinaro, and MacLeay. Two have been used on November signings (Sotos and Meeks), meaning one is still available. With the loss of Ben and DJ, and with Nana being a junior, it seems fairly certain the third will go to a big man.
BU has never brought in a transfer scholarship player - although one big reason is that there has almost never been a scholarship available at transfer time - but I am sure they would consider a center who opted to transfer out of his current program in the next few weeks. In that case, the transfer would become eligible to play on 12/15/17. However if that doesn't happen - and it's unlikely - then I am sure they will get a commitment from a HS center in the next few months. In theory, they could hold the scholarship and look for an April transfer, but that has two negatives: (1) the player wouldn't be eligible until 2018-19, leaving them with no depth next year; and (2) it is a big risk because they might not find a transfer who fits.
