I count 7 players, representing 4 different high schools - with 6 of them coming from 3 schools. How could that play a role in influencing their decisions to play here?
ReplyDeleteIf they transfer will they have to sit out a year? What are the chances they could get a hardship exemption? Would their chances be more likely if they transfer "home" versus transferring to another school?
They all seem like pretty acclaimed players in high school, but do you guys think Curry and Georgia State will be interested in all of them?
