It's never been an issue of transparency. It's an issue of uncertainty and timing.

No matter how you dissect it, the staff's hands remain tied as far as bringing the PF/C they would like to replace AK with. No starter or even first reserve off the bench portal candidate will want to commit to UConn until they know that Karaban is not returning. And I assume there's not enough NIL  available till they know for sure Alex isn't returning.

People can try as much as they want to paint this as a non-issue for the program, but that's not the case. We're probably okay as long as there is at least one good option the staff likes who wants to come here. Once all have chosen their destination, the program will be left with no good options other than some player who is fine sitting on the bench and likely not good enough to earn many minutes.

I'm still hopeful, but like many, am frustrated that Alex has yet to decide. I love the guy and wish him the best. Just hope he makes his intentions known before the replacement options run dry.
