I don’t see that as an issue. Furst will free up his scholarship soon enough and Purdue has plenty of other guys if Berg never establishes himself in the rotation. The thing about scholarships is that only 8-9 players can be in the rotation so you are going to have depth players who seldom see the court. You keep bringing in program guys and reward the guys who develop with playing time.
We have plenty of other wings, we do not have plenty of other 4/5 type players. It's tough to believe Berg is going to be able to play at this level. Of course, he could prove that wrong, but current info suggests not.
We have TKR, Heide, Jacobsen and Burgess for next season. That's assuming TKR doesn't catch the eye of an NBA team and Burgess is ready to play significant minutes next season.
That's a team one injury away from serious issues inside. So even if you think all four are stud super future NBA possible players, you'd still like a fifth year versatile big transfer both in case all the best case scenarios don't pan out or an injury happens.
