Unfortunately, with the transfer portal, you can't count on being able to keep guys from getting poached by bigger schools. With the likely removal of the two time D1 transfer rule, a guy like Elijah Jones (or Frazier) could transfer without having to sit out a year. While I don't see a huge market for any of the freshmen, stranger things can happen. Plus, they can just decide to transfer for other reasons like playing time, etc. Again, it is the reason many coaches have gone away from recruiting a bunch of freshmen at this level. Every year is essentially a rebuild, and the upcoming year will be no different for Golding.
