What am I missing on Okoro? At a certain point a player’s college production is more important than pre-college rank, and Okoro has been incredibly underwhelming so far in college. -

Frank gets the majority of his information from area high school coaches, which helps explain why he misses on some of his recruiting scoops. -

This is a speculative, worse-case scenario. COVID-19 could be eradicated if we trace back to the origin and implement large-scale testing. Unfortunately, China has been less than open to virus hunters since COVID-19 popped up. -

No inside info but it seems like Russell wants to commit but doesn't have a committable offer at this point. -
If he is able to get ample exposure in the A10 to become a lottery pick (again, at a place he presumably enjoys) he doesn't need to transfer to a blue blood for exposure.

Interesting point but I suspect they’ll be fine with it if it means they can get back to work sooner. -

Well it would be MUCH easier to test all players than all fans. -
Sheesh. What is his story? Looks live rivals had him as a 3 star coming out of high school, and he went the juco route before ending up at Harris-Stowe.

This is the answer. Unfortunately, schools would never go for it since it could make them look bad for running off kids. Thus, we are going to get the immediate transfer rule.

You’re first four sentences are the argument against your whole point.

I ask this sincerely because I think you’ve been one of the most respectful posters in this thread: how long do you think it would take for people to start behaving in the way you indicate? It hasn’t happened yet, and we are nearly one month into social distancing. -
If either of them want to come off the bench at Kansas, maybe so. That is purely hypothetical, of course, and isn’t intended to diminish their talents. But it is naive to believe our best players would always be able to transfer to a blue blood and start. And again, you’re totally ignoring that these guys are humans who might have strong reasons for staying put and seeing through their original commitment. It is also naive to think only power conference schools would pay players (if you believe players are being paid, which they likely are).
-
It may tick up slightly with the proposed rule change, but we won’t see a mass exodus of our best players every year. That’s my main point.
-
The same reasons Jordan Goodwin didn't transfer after being unfairly suspended his Freshman year (and the same reasons he picked us in the first place): Loyalty, friendships, academic interests, athletic facilities, etc.
-
Nah, it's to eliminate the current disparity where schools can decide not to offer an existing player a scholarship the pursuing year but that same player must sit a year when they transfer (whether by choice or by force). Anyone who cares about student-athletes should be supportive of this change. BTW - I think it will have very little impact on schools like SLU.

The big problem right now is conferences with 20 game seasons.
