Hard to say Go. Generally you have to be very high on someone to grab him after 1-year. I know that many big programs used to encourage academic issues to stay the second year at JUCO, so they can become soph's or even juniors and get a full 4-years in. Maybe that is not so common anymore, with many 4-year schools offering general studies. I say it will be a very good or poor move in the long run.
I also like the signing of young Chris Durkin. I must be showing my age, as it seems like just a few years ago when his dad was a star for the Guin hard-ballers and hard to believe he is old-enough to have a college-age son. I think he is still 2nd or 3rd highest draft pick at 79. Talent seems to be in the blood. Welcome to the team Chris!
