This has nothing to do with RBY. RBY still has his senior year and a redshirt year. McKenna is gone at that point. It would build for the future because it makes those guys all take redshirts (Lee, RBY, Teasdale depending on weight alignment) while we get a powerhouse. Anywhere but Ohio State is my hope.But that's not all that will go into the decision.
If he does want to come here, sets up an interesting dilemma. He has 2 years left, obviously plugs a potential hole for next year at 141, which may not end up being a hole (Cortez?), in a year where we don't likely need his points anyway in 95% of the potential scenarios. After that he is a SR in 18-19 and gone in 19-20. Does his transfer pretty much tell RBY to go elsewhere and thus we miss out on the potential of 19-20 and beyond with RBY? Of course, McKenna is of more immediate and sure-fire results than RBY, but again, likely in years when he is just icing on the cake. And then, with the way recruiting is going, a potential loss of RBY would most likely be offset with the addition of a prospect just as good as RBY from 20-21 and beyond.
Great dilemma to face...
RBY decision will be more dependent on where guys slot into with weights (Suriano, Teasdale, and Lee) and who he can knock off.
