"Big News Coming" per Coach Seth

Grad transfers have to be good players to be an asset.  Most NT has brought in were borderline players, not players that got big minutes at their prior school like most of the ones SMU thrived on last year.

To be fair most of SMU's transfers did not get big minutes or make a big contribution on their former teams, the main reason SMU had/is having success is because their best grad transfer by far happened to be at the most important position on the field.  Buechele started 19 games for UT, and wasn't bad while doing so.  If it wasn't for him SMU would probably go 7-6 and be wondering if all the transfers were worth it.

Good point, most of SMU transfers were young with three or four years left to play. A couple other than Buechele started for SMU last year. Several have not yet played due to having to set out a year because of transfer.

Whether or not they turn out better than signing high schoolers is yet to be seen.  Getting Buechele and two other starters plus another player who played in eleven games out of eight eligible last year seems pretty good to me.
