It is, but we have a loaded class coming in as it is. Add another and I would be starting to check for transfer news. Although, as I type that, I started thinking "would coming in early be such a bad thing if you redshirted?" That could be a delicious scenario. Either way we have to wait a year and a half, but by the time Kennard (or whoever the scenario fits) plays, they have a season of Duke practice under their belt.
In a way, that is what happened with both Murphy and MP3, but neither of those two came in knowing they would not see the court in their first season, which could affect a player psychologically. I don't think Marshall was let down by it, but I am not so sure about Alex.
So if we get a player that can graduate and come in early, which would you rather see? That guy playing a season full of games in HS, or a season on our bench and in practice every day? Toss up for me, but I do like the idea of him involved in our system for a year. Works well for most of the football freshmen.
