Quick scan of the transfer tracker on D1B shows about 175 graduate transfers have successfully found a new home. There must be some value in old/wise, which for some may be better defined as players that have proven they can handle the rigors of D1 athletics and academic progress. I would think a coach would also have a good idea of what level of performance to expect from a guy with four years of resume at the college level. Not to mention maturity in the locker room. The hot new freshman will always find a place, it's the guys a few down from the top of the incoming freshmen list who will have to compete hard with the Juco/grad transfers. I think the older guys have the advantage in that scenario. Just my opinion.
