Does Purdue Need A Graduate Transfer For 2016-17?

Purdue has had at least one graduate transfer in each of the past three seasons. With only ten scholarship players at most there is more than enough room for a graduate transfer for the coming season. As things stand, adding a graduate transfer does not cut into the extremely fertile 2017 recruiting class, where Purdue would currently have four scholarships to throw around. The nightmare scenario, of course, is that Stephens leaves, Swanigan and Edwards stay in the draft, and Purdue heads into 2016-17 with only 7 scholarship players. If that happens we're going to have a panic offering of virtually every grad transfer, but I doubt it happens.
