One thing that could play in our favor is seeing how much success and hype Darius was able to have at Liberty. It would also be a plus if he enjoyed the burg when he was at VES.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of getting Blair to reclassify, but in reading his interview, it sounds like he is gung ho to go after a HS state championship his Senior year. That would also make an already very young team even younger.

I can think of several very important grad transfers recently, wondering if late reaches ever turn out to be worth it.Georgie and Lovell would both fall into that category, but this situation certainly looks Taylor made for at least one grad transfer.
