Just once I want coaches to admit that bringing in players they know are reaches and then running them off for another reach is just as much a part of the "transfer problem" as kids not being willing to stick things out. Two way street here.

Cade Cunningham is awesome. As good as advertised. But can't talk about Oklahoma State and not mention the growth of the rest of their players. Lost a lot of close games early, many teams would have folded. They got stronger. That's a team and staff that believes in each other.

The people who should be rightfully complaining are the THOUSANDS of other prospects who need more exposure but aren't allowed it during this window. And the 200 plus college programs for whom NBPA Top 100 is worthless because they can't get those kids.
College coaches/NBA personnel allowed to go to Top 100 camp here in Charlottesville today . for 24 hours. Makes no sense. They are allowed to watch starting at 2 pm today until 2 pm tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear all the coaches complain (and rightfully so) about small window.
