I don't think the system is broken.  It just hasn't been adjusted to the new rules.  The late signing period in April is before the draft deadline in May.  Probably need to line those two up or there will be no LOI's to commit a kid who wants to wait to a school.  Then a team like Kentucky can try to swoop in an get a player to switch before school starts.

Lots of schools don't award all of their scholarships every year (Syracuse often had 12 players on the roster), so waiting on one to commit at the end of the year isn't a big deal in my opinion.  It's just a question of how long do you wait.  And if your trying to fill more than one roster spot in mid April, you have more problems than a kid wanting to wait to see how things shake out.

We have Thompson, Dembele, the Columbia grad transfer (name escapes me) and possibly Diallo in play.  It will work out in the end, and Thompson is not the type of player who will likely steal minutes from established players.

My opinion would change if Lydon declares though...:eek:
