Can't blame the young fella for inquisitiveness now can we.
Good thing NBA teams (assuming he'd ever get there) don't say the name of their college like they do in the NFL, what would he choose? His elementary school probably. Can I just say, can the NFL stop that? It's beyond stupid hearing disgruntled players representing high schools and elementary schools.
So in recruiting, schools like UCONN, St John's and Michigan can slam the rest of the schools for the recent upticks in the virus and rave about the massive improvement in their home states. Things have changed drastically in the past month.
I could apply that argument to any urban school. In fact, if you look just at the campus where the players will live, work and study, it's hard to find a major college, urban or rural that doesn't have a high population density. The University of Oregon has an enrollment of 21,000 full time students on a 295 acre campus. That's about 45,000 per square mile (at least during the day when most are on campus plus faculty and staff). The population density of Queens is 21,000 per square mile. U of O, like every major college, is effectively it's own urban area. Add in the fact that they have students (along with their bacteria and viruses) from throughout the world and it becomes apparent that the "I'm transferring because of the disease" argument is a charade.
