re: BK has said he is not entertaining kids who want to start bidding wars

All you have to do is look at Texas A&M's locker room this past year and you'll know what buying mercenary players can do damage-wise to team chemistry.

The sudden obsession with Desmond Ricks around here is pathological. You don't even know what he's going to do, you don't know how good he'll be in college...you don't even know whether he's better than the kids we've already got.

And if we're about to close on Harris and Zy Alexander in the portal like I'm hearing, it's pretty likely Ricks wouldn't get on the field much next year anyway.
