Let's assume that a player coming out of high school has a 50% chance or so to transfer in his 4/5 yr college career. Looks like 30% of college basketball players are in the portal just this year alone.
1) Do coaches and programs now focus less on player development as the payoff is significantly less. For example, are they less inclined to recruit a "project with upside" and spend the time to develop them if there is a higher chance this player transfers.?
2) Are coaches more inclined to play players they don't want to transfer to "keep them happy". Are players now able to force coaches hand to play them by threatening to transfer? For example imagine if Cliff demanded to start. Over miles. Puts pike in a tough spot.
3). Is less time going to spent on recruiting high school players?
