SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed
I think Pope's been hoping to do just that, but he needed to change the type
of athlete that formed the basis of his roster when he came in. He also was burdened with a lot of athletes when he got here — that he never would've signed as scholarship players in the first place.

These three scholarshipped RMs on our current roster (together w Frosh Moore) — definitely will help with stabilizing things in the near future. Which I think was always Pope's goal. It's only his fourth year, after all, & it's become clear I think that he was not given the liberty of gutting the roster like many new HCs are free to do upon arrival.

But besides these guys, we've also benefited from a number of multi-year transfers (probably 4 for SJ, 3 for AB, Gideon, & hopefully Robinson, & 2 for Waterman (who they originally hoped to get a 3rd year for)). I think Pope has deliberately resisted building too much on single-year players.

I do think Pope will continue to hunt for single-year transfers going forward — but in the future he'll limit his searches to only high-end players. And will rarely sign more than one every couple classes or so.
