When the NCAA reduced the number of allowable scholarships for men's basketball from 15 to 13, most players stayed at one school for four years (some five with a redshirt), players only left early if they were a sure fire lottery pick and roster continuity and development was the norm in college basketball. Today, with the growth of the G League,  dramatic increase in the number and lucrative nature of overseas options and a free agent transfer portal it is difficult to impossible to build a program foundation and develop players. When you can lose a key piece of your roster in late spring and almost all of the high school recruits for the next TWO incoming classes are committed (and even younger kids have already whittled down their candidate schools based on existing relationships), when your best players are being evaluated for the NBA and make a decision to ultimately leave or return in the same time frame,  roster management is virtually impossible year after year.

Women's basketball allows 15 scholarships, in part because I believe there was never a year in residence rule for transfers. Is it time for men's basketball to restore the additional two and go back to 15?
