It's problematic.  Top 75 kids assures nothing.  Torean Thompson was a Top 75 guy, so was Kaleb Joseph, so was Jalen Carey, just to name a few of late in this category who didn't even come close to being productive and panning out.  All of whom transferred.

Donors will primarily do so because of interest and the love for the program, school, etc. first and foremost, not because of the individual. And, most will want to see it paying dividends on the court, field, etc.  Coaches soon will likely/potentially also be dealing with complaints, etc. from donors, especially the higher $$$ ones, as "their guy" cries to them about lack of playing time, etc., unhappiness, etc. and bolting to the portal in a heartbeat.

Coaches will have to deal with these additional external pressures, scrutiny, etc. and all the potential ramifications that may come with it versus simply playing guys the minutes HE sees fit (strictly from a coach perspective) on HIS team that is most deserving.

It's a cluster.
