I don't think we necessarily need a star or an all conference player. We need depth at guard in the worst way. Someone who can play 10-15 minutes off the bench maybe provide some scoring and not be a net negative when he's in the game is major asset to the roster.
Holden takes up a scholarship for a year so there's no long term commitment. He was injured much of the year for SC but there's evidence from Delaware he can play. Best case scenario he finds his form from Delaware, worst case he can play some minutes off the bench and give the team more than Crosby or Westerfield did.
Ideally next year Westerfield or a walk won't be playing in the first half of a game and Cutch/Landers/J. Davis won't play close to 40 minutes a night or more in OT.
Right now it's Cohill and that's it for next year. A grad transfer takes up a scholarship for a year so it's low risk in terms of being stuck with someone. Presumably after 3-4 years in college basketball they'll be ahead of a freshman defensively and more capable of hitting the ground running
