1) regarding the investment in him, I think the environment is moving to multi-year contracts. If so, if he gets poached, the contract has to be bought out. I think that's a great idea. Doesn't help with Mara, but maybe it changes the college athlete Carvana for the better.
I read an article that said that "no contact" is a myth. The players have agents. The agents and schools are always talking. We lost 6 players off the women's team to the portal last season. You know that for sure the Freshmen already had their destinations lined up when the portaled. It has been said that Cori already has transfers lined up. I hope so. We return 4 players from this roster and all of the top 100 HS players are already committed. She had better be talking to players now, and not waiting to see who enters the portal.
I feel like the current system can work if you start adding multiyear contracts to the mix.
