In any case, I'm disappointed that it didn't work out with KT, because he's a good kid with a great basketball upside, but I don't think it will hurt us much this season (if the remaining guys can stay healthy), and I do think there are more talented players who better fit Bennett's system coming in next year.
A bit off topic, but I wish the NCAA would re-examine its mid-year transfer rules. The fact that you can transfer in December and then be eligible to play mid-year the next season seems to encourage these kinds of decisions for guys who might otherwise fight through, compete for minutes, and end up in a better spot at their original school.
