Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2530697, member: 56"] Dunno if I'm underestimating the pull of the League. I mean, you've got 3 and 4 star guys committing to coaches or programs because they think it'll give them a better chance to go pro. You here that often in interviews. Could be observation bias, idk. You are correct that starring at a school, where you are the man, is another way to do it. And some players are definitely driven by the desire to be the man. So that's a factor that plays in. I gotta think Steph Curry is an outlier in all this haha. He's such a rarity. What a story. His high school offers: Davidson, Winthrop and Virginia Commonwealth. Amazing. I think under the table money could become more interesting. As in a player going into his senior year, maybe not a likely pro, but a booster gives the kid $10k to come to his school--plugging a hole. Doesn't have the deterrent of sitting. No idea how common it would be, but it's still an interesting dynamic. [/QUOTE]
