He said that currently you can’t get kids to commit to be your 4th guard. Players, especially in the portal, won’t go to a college to be an insurance policy and sit on the bench. Kids don’t want to wait to adjust or develop in practices before getting major minutes. We’re seeing freshman leave who are averaging more than 20 minutes a game. UNC who we all used to wonder how they could stockpile even multiple McDonald’s Americans to sit for years before getting any real playing time, lost Roy Williams because of the drastic changes to the college basketball landscape. He’s not alone.

Coaches who have to wait till late spring not far from the early summer college session, to hear if their current experienced players are positively returning leaves little time to vet and admit portal replacements for the summer. They may hear rumors but if players don’t confirm their return or transfer, even the ‘above board‘ coaches will be forced to join those who are ‘breaking’ those portal rules mining for transfers early causing even more turmoil and bad faith within their program and the entire system. It will be very interesting and probably sad to see how long and how this will all shake out in the end.
