What is a bargain these days with the purported estimates for top 20 transfers in the $2-4-7 million range?
Would a bargain be $500K-600K for a player who scored 15.5ppg and had a number of assists last year?
The problem comes when a good player like Nait George (supposedly was) does not fit into the new coach’s offensive strategy. The school wasted the money it invested and is stuck with the player who does not fit the program. In addition, the school (like Syracuse) usually does not have an alternative player to go with when the expensive transfer fails to fit.
